Our Take

M.Ward's latest offering, "What A Wonderful Industry," is a delightful exploration of the highs and lows of the music biz, all neatly wrapped up in Ward's signature vintage folk-rock sound.

From the playful irony of "Miracle Man" to the soulful introspection of "Independently Happy," Ward effortlessly navigates the complexities of fame and creativity with his unique lyrical finesse.

The album's standout track, "Confession," is a melancholic ballad that sees Ward at his most vulnerable, reflecting on the sacrifices and struggles that come with a life in the spotlight.

Musically, Ward's masterful guitar work shines through, creating a rich tapestry of sound that is both captivating and comforting.

While some may argue that Ward's sound is a bit too familiar, there's no denying the charm and authenticity that he brings to each and every track on "What A Wonderful Industry."

In a world obsessed with fame and fortune, M.Ward reminds us of the beauty and purity of music for music's sake. So sit back, relax, and let Ward's enchanting melodies transport you to a world where the only industry that truly matters is the one of love, passion, and artistry.
