It's clear from the outset that Mat Kearney is something of a different breed. One song, with its acoustic charm and Kearney's signature falsetto will remind you of the best of current pop/rock radio fare. Then the next track will feature Kearney's spoken word delivery and understated vocals, blending folk/rap elements successfully. On Nothing Left To Lose, Kearney weaves effortlessly between the two to create an album that feels both experimental yet cohesive.

Kearney's roots can be found on his previous indie release, Bullet. Tracks such as "Middle," "Girl America," or leadoff effort "Undeniable" have been carried over to the new release and highlight the best of his debut. For fans who are new to Kearney, this is great news as you are truly getting the best of Kearney's songwriting. "Girl America" in particular is a beautiful track of Kearney singing of the problem of the American culture as it pertains to image and pressure for teenage girls to aspire to.
