"Val is emo at it's best. His voice and lyrics are both comforting and disturbing. I lose myself in the music everytime I listen to the album. There's something for everyone. The music is so intimate so you may want to listen to it alone with the stereo turned all the way up. Amazing stuff people, pick it up if you can. Check out Val's website for more great info on the beautiful and sexy Val Emmich!"

"On Val Emmich's "Slow Down Kid," he uses music that expresses a myriad of emotions, ranging from the tender, heartwrenching angst of Ben Folds and others to the impassioned, burgeoning upheaval of so many young artists today with whom the world just doesn't seem to sit correctly. He cleverly satires his television acting career in "Rat Race," sardonically mocking the conflict between earning so much and losing oneself in such a faceless, image-obsessed field. He show his fire burning withing with the first single, "Shock," and wraps the album perfectly with "Slow Down Kid," a moving piano-backed piece with enough vocal power to summarize the entire effort. Val's album is a definite must for any fans of the whole emo scene...or anyone just wanting to catch a glimpse of a new musical power on the rise. Check it out.."

Fantastic Debut

"The album is filled with catchy rifts and meaningful lyrics. The lead singer has a strong range and carries a tremendous amount of emotion. I highly recommend this album."
