Come On
Call On Me
Paul story’s is the triumphant Modern Hearts, an album bursting with anthemic hooks, majestically textured alt-rock, tinges of Southern soul, literate introspection, and profound redemption.
It could be said that Modern Hearts is a breakup record documenting spiritual and artistic uplift. The 14-track body of work represents a full-spectrum of emotions, from soulful and sorrowful tracks, to invigorating new-life anthems, to meditative mid-tempo numbers.
He’s struck on a brand of Americana-R&B that’s somehow equal parts Khalid and Rod Stewart. - NATIVE
McDonald bravely bears his soul in a quest for love and understanding through a musical landscape that ranges from pleading to nearly joyous. With arrangements that cover the gamut from sparse sincerity to uplifting anthems. McDonald successfully pulls us into his journey of raw questioning.
- PARADE
Modern Hearts is the full-bodied expression of McDonald’s diligence in the face of such adversity. All at once a refection on where he’s been and where he is now, McDonald’s most compelling songwriting comes off this body of work.
- POP MATTERS
The record embodies the pensive, soulful approach that has led McDonald to share the stage with such artists as Stevie Wonder, Father John Misty, and Emmylou Harris
- RELIX
