Review

"Kiss the Girl isn't just another resurrection, they're a new, fresh thing." --Performer Magazine, 2000

Product Description

A celebration of feeling and being alive, an expression of the extreme highs and lows that we all experience if we have the courage to feel. The album art features the word 'touch' in nine different languages over an image of two lovers, to convey the message that our need for intimacy and connection is something shared by people of all backgrounds. The first track, "Alive," which has already been licensed to appear on an ABC Family Channel TV show this summer, is a perfect example of the album's message. The lyrics tell the story of people caught in the grip of depression and disillusionment, reaching out for some kind of faith and hope, and refusing to give in to despair. "My little sister got a messed up head/and all the day she while away in bed/she said, 'I know there's somethin'/gotta believe there's somethin'/my friends are nowhere, it may not be fair/but you can only suck it up and live it'..." The chorus then kicks in with a powerful attack and a vocal declaration of, "I, I, I feel so alive/I, I, I feel so alive today!" Better to feel pain sometimes than to avoid life and feel nothing. At least you know you're alive.

If you haven't heard some of Kiss The Girl's early stuff, then Touch will certainly make you a believer. I've listened to KTG for years and had the chance, on numerous occasions, to see them perform live in several California cities. For me, they've always been a "mood" band - I listen and just get in a good mood! There's a sense of optimism and hope in all their songs and always that catchy beat that reverberates positive energy.

Touch is a much more complex CD, and, as such, takes the listener on a much deeper journey. I found songs like Alien Skin absolutely mesmerizing - haunting actually - in the same vein as one may frequently experience with U2. The song, Alive, really makes you WANT to be alive and enjoy the power of the moment. Overall, there is a spiritual dimension to the CD that shows continued growth in the writing . . . and a much deeper sense of fulfillment and provocation for the listener. What more could you want from art?

I listen to a lot of music. Even music I like, doesn't necessarily "impress" me, it's just good music to have playing. Yet Kiss The Girl connected with me from the first time I heard their music, in a very spiritual, emotional way. The music is honest and introspective yet motivating and inspiring. Songs like "Alien Skin" reflect shared dreams and desires while the upbeat track "Alive" inspires and motivates, encouraging the listener to embrace life and follow their dreams. This is not just a typical pop album, this is intelligent, soulful, moving music that can change your life and lift your spirits. Buy this CD, it is music to truly take to heart.
