Our Take

WESLEY SCHULTZ, best known as the lead singer of The Lumineers, has taken a departure from his folk roots with his debut solo album Vignettes. The album, a collection of stripped-down acoustic guitar and haunting vocals, showcases Schultz's introspective songwriting skills in a whole new light.

From the opening track "Down to the Hollow," Schultz's emotive vocals immediately draw the listener in, setting the tone for the rest of the album. The haunting melodies and poignant lyrics create a sense of vulnerability and raw emotion that is both captivating and moving.

Songs like "Viciously" and "Donna" showcase Schultz's storytelling ability, with each track painting a vivid picture and evoking a strong emotional response. The sparse instrumentation allows Schultz's vocals to take center stage, showcasing his impressive range and control.

However, Vignettes does have its moments of monotony, with some tracks blending into one another and lacking the standout hooks that Schultz is known for. While the album is undeniably beautiful, it may leave some listeners longing for a bit more variety and excitement.

Overall, Wesley Schultz's Vignettes is a haunting and introspective debut that showcases his talents as a solo artist. While it may not reach the heights of his work with The Lumineers, it is a solid effort that demonstrates Schultz's ability to craft heartfelt, emotional music that resonates with listeners.
