Seriously high-energy soul, blow-you-backwards-into-the-bar vocals and frickin’ insane musical talent; that’s Morgan Bain summed up. - Annelise Ball
“Once again Morgan Bain blew the audience away with a performance that can only be described as soulful as hell. With his outstanding vocals and natural feel for alternative soul and rock, the award-winning multi-instrumentalist showed us he truly is the embodiment of raw talent. I dare you to go to one of his shows and try not to dance; it’s just impossible” - Sun Mi Clyburn – THE MUSIC.COM.AU - Sun Mi Clyburn - the music.com.au
This gifted singer-songwriter is still a teenager, but his musicianship screams that of artists twice his age and experience. His latest self titled release delivers well-crafted songs that infuse the elements of blues,roots, folk and pop, creating a unique and fresh sound. Lead single "I Think Ive Got You" is only a taste of what Bain offers. He shows his lyrical honesty and wide vocal range in "Thirty Five Seconds", an acoustic track that is meticulously constructed. This release is promising for the clearly talented and young songwriter, with what seems a bright future ahead. - Eli Gould - Drum Magazine
"....rootsy rock (think of a more soulful Xavier Rudd/John Butler amalgam, but with balls)...Bain's songs are engaging, heartfelt, gloriously affirming and multi-layered beyond his years" - XPress Magazine
Singer-songwriter Morgan Bain is continuing to stamp his authority on the blues/roots rock scene with another strong single. The mans tones are superb and his voice contains a maturity well beyond years. Keep an eye on him. - the Music.com.au
