Sean McConnell - Live at the Blue Door - Oklahoma City, OK

On February 28th, celebrated singer/songwriter Sean McConnell returns with his new album SKIN (via Metropolitan Groove Merchants), an 11-song collection that finds the acclaimed Nashville-based artist arriving at a new plateau, both personally and creatively. SKIN is comprised of deeply introspective and observational songs that question many of life’s paradoxes with a new-found wisdom that can only come from personal growth and lived experiences.

“It almost took me 40 years to figure out that the call was coming from inside the house,” McConnell sings in the autobiographical opening title track. The song sets the tone for the rest of the album as he looks inward to understand who he is and the realization that the answer was always within.

SKIN is McConnell’s most intimate and revealing work to date as he takes inventory of the father, husband, friend, artist and human being he has evolved into and the path that lead him to this point. The powerful “Demolition Day” addresses the need to tearing things down emotionally build oneself up better than before and being accountable. “Never Enough” is a moving, heartfelt love song of devotion and gratitude to his wife and all they have shared together, the good and the bad. “The West Was Never Won” is the sonic departure of the album with a profoundly loving message to their disabled daughter to always follow her heart and have the faith that it will guide her. SKIN closes with the spacious and beautiful “New Sons and Daughters” with McConnell contemplating what it would be like to be as of pure as the day we were born, free from the strains, pressures and chaos that surround us.
