“This is music designed to breathe—prioritizing the ‘unplugged’ moment and the raw, emotional intelligence of an honest melody,” reads a statement on Kenny Peagler’s website. That’s reasonable, and appropriate. There is a sweetness about Peagler’s music that is as reminiscent of Randy Newman and Neil Diamond as it is any soul and country icons. A song like “Wasn’t Meant to Be” is blessed with a level of emotional maturity not heard in song since Dua Lipa’s “We’re Good.” His voice is strong and warm, and he clearly surrounds himself with exceptional musicians. It all adds up to a great body of work.
