Tim Eveleigh is back with a new album, "Life Is Not A Competition." It's an exceptional listening experience that feels more like having a deep conversation than just listening to music. This album is a nice break from all the noise and comparisons in the world. Its simple but powerful message is reassurance.
Tim sings and plays guitar, keyboards, and cajón, and Andy Thornton sings and plays guitar and bass. Maria Levesley also sings, adding her beautiful voice. At Andy's studio, they create a warm, welcoming sound that lets the music flow naturally while maintaining an emotional touch throughout the album. Maria's contributions give everything a glow that makes reflective times even more special. "Life Is Not A Competition" is all about lowering the stress we put on ourselves and others. Tim's goal of making people feel better isn't just a theme, it's in every song. This album shows that Tim is more confident than ever, a big step up from his previous music.
Tim mixes soft folk with a bit of experimentation on this album, which features 10 carefully crafted tracks. "Enough," one of the best songs, is a brave move into spoken word that draws people in with its honesty and simplicity. "Surfeit" is another striking track on the album, balancing deep emotions that linger long after the song ends. "Assist" is another song that listeners will like. It's a comforting song that makes you feel like you have a friend who is there for you when things are tough. These songs don't try to get your attention, they sound real.
The album was recorded entirely in Andy's studio, which gives it a unique sense of place that strengthens its message. "Life Is Not A Competition" isn't about showing off, it's about taking a moment to listen and feel good about where you are in life. This new album is a beautiful work of art, calm, confident, and very relatable.
