Missoula Independent Vol. 29 No. 15
“Stevie V proves he’s got talent just by virtue of having played every instrument on his new solo album, Popular to Contrary Belief…
Some riffs evoke early Huey Lewis and a couple songs recall the hip-hop stylings of Beck…
Stevie V is especially good on ‘MIDI Me,’ an EDM tune with no lyrics that feels straight out of 1980s film drama…
“[On] ‘Duty Bound,’ Stevie V shows a keen understanding of nuance–the rhythm is spot on, the guitar and organ breakdowns and crescendos genuinely soulful.”
