Press Reviews Finding Sanctuary In Originality by Dana Hughes ~freelance reviewer With infectious beats and catchy melodies, Will’s debut CD Sanctuary is a wonderful find. His voice has an authentic R&B quality that, combined with a dance background, makes for an effective and radio friendly result. No where is this more obvious than in the second track, “What’s going on”. Though there are tracks where the fusion of R&B and house starts to sound like a repetitive formula, there are also stand-out tracks where Will shows his versatility as a musician. “Garde La Foi” is such a hard-core dance tune that the listener might think they’ve already heard it at the club. In “Drowning in Your Eyes” his smooth vocals and melodic tones seem to suggest he could have a future as Seal’s heir-apparent. The acoustic version of an earlier dance track “A Girl Named Kate” highlights the strength of Will’s voice and a sweet soulful quality that is not as identifiable in earlier tracks where the beat draws the most focus. Cultivating a sound that is outside of the conventional American music genres, Sanctuary has a distinctive European dance music quality. It is a little bit R&B, a little bit pop and a little bit dance – with a resonance of what they call, “garage” music in the U.K.. Will’s Sanctuary is a testament to how not conforming to typical standards can produce exceptional music.
