    It's almost too strenuous in its attempts to top its predecessors, 20212's Big Inner and 2015's Fresh Blood, but once inside White's all-enveloping world, there's no space to worry too much. [Oct 2021, p.98]

    Whether K Bay is progressive rock or not, White hooks you in with his big warm voice and big tunes, and then goes weird on you in such a strong way that he can’t really be asked to leave. [Aug 2021, p.55]

    K Bay probes the Richmond, VA-based artist's teeming psyche while advancing his anything-does record-making style. [Oct 2021, p.34]

    The 11 tracks on K Bay take us on a turbulent journey of sound and mind. This is more of a trip to the carnival than The Twilight Zone. The songs are stops along the midway of White’s mind rather than one’s imagination. He shows off his skills as a musician, writer, and producer and invites the listener along for the ride. When it’s over, one wants to go on again for kicks.

    The sound of K Bay is so good—so plump, so crisp, so tapered and whooshed—that White can seem like a studio hermit whose talent keeps thwarting his solitude.
