Maxi Dunn: Welcome To Soonville

Maxi Dunn has been writing songs now for almost twenty years and has come close on a number of occasions with various bands to clinching that elusive record deal. However many twists and turns of life have meant that family and life in general have prevented maxi from releasing those songs to a quite eager public.

Welcome To Soonville is however a the debut Maxi has been threatening to release for many years. The genesis of Welcome To Soonville however came about through a number of personal disasters in her life. Not that personal disaster should be seen as a problem as many artists from Bob Dylan to John Lennon have used the emotional burn of the breakdown of a relationship to fuel the creative muse.

Welcome To Soonville brims with fantastic modern pop songs which on first listen sound bright and as sunny as any classic pop songs sound. Dig a little deeper however and the lyrics betray a real depth of emotion. This is gripping stuff and while it is hoped that Maxi has now got her life back on track and to her liking it can’t be denied that the songs on this album are robust and fully formed.

The opening track How Was I To Know setting out the whole story in an uncompromising way. This is a personal album although certainly not a difficult one to listen to. The album as a whole is pretty upbeat and positive although underneath the surface lies darkness as is found on the title track Welcome To Soonville

The album is self financed and also finds Maxi supported ably and completely by Pete Hackett and Spanish producers and pop duo Cokeroque. Nevertheless the album is profoundly Maxi Dunn’s

This album receives its worldwide release on the 12th of October and will be available through Amazon and iTunes and while available on Maxi’s own label I see a bigger label wanting to take the next album to a bigger and more widespread audience. For now though celebrate the debut of Maxi Dunn’s Welcome To Soonville. Soonville may well be here sooner than Maxi thinks.
