U-G-A.com/Kim Ward’s “Outside My Square” is a work of diversity that highlights Ms. Wards numerous talents of sonic-sound & mood“Embrace Yourself” with its Acoustic Guitar introduction of Major Sevenths & Minor Ninths, is like looking through a kaleidoscope at ghostly images ; Haunting the soul in a beatific mannerThe mind of the listener might at first hear a drop of the water fountain of swirling colors via Annie Lennox ; But it’s only a passing first impression, as one travels the audio road of Kim Ward’s muse“Break Them Down” welcomes one with major & minor chord configurations & suspended tunings, which is a promising relief for a weary audiophile who’s sick & tired of the often used basic major chordsSo it’s obviously unique in our humble estimation, that Kim Ward’s musical vision is of an expanding universe, scarcely heard, but continuingly longed for“From This” is an atmospheric & ethereal jaunt, augmented with a unique time signature & Synthesized Bowed Strings in the backgroundKim Ward’s Voice with its delicate reverb underpinnings, is a stamp of originality that beckons us with a Siren sound quality ; Bewitchingly & magnetically calling out on the horizon : A beacon of light shines forth like a moon at high tideKim stands at the periphery of international media ; A true artist whose time has come to fill the world with her sultry & enthralling compositions
