Details:
âHeart Music and Artâ was Patrick Kiâs second CD release, and it featured a noteworthy evolution in the artistic direction of this unique instrumental guitarist. While his previous debut album, âSecrets of Menâs Heartsâ, focused on Patrickâs original compositions, âHeart Music and Artâ explored new territory by featuring a remarkable collection of popular songs and jazz standards.

With its eclectic mix of time-proven classics and more current adult-contemporary favorites, âHeart Musicâ exemplifies the musical versatility that has become an appealing quality to all of Patrickâs recordings. With songs by legendary composers like George Gershwin (Someone to Watch Over Me) and Cole Porter (True Love), along with modern chart-topping hits like âTears in Heavenâ by Eric Clapton, and âRight Here Waitingâ by Richard Marx, the range of material chosen for âHeart Musicâ appeals to a wide spectrum of listeners. Patrick also included an exquisite original piece entitled âLahteaâ, as well as several outstanding film soundtracks such as âSomewhere Out Thereâ, âBeauty and the Beastâ, and âHave You Ever Loved A Womanâ as the finishing touches on this surprising diverse and aesthetically pleasing recording.

Upon hearing âHeart Musicâ, the depth of this talented artistâs natural ability becomes immediately apparent. Drawing upon a wide array of influences, Patrickâs signature sound stems from an unusual combination of formal music training (with classical guitar studies at the University of Hawaii, a diploma from the Guitar Institute of Technology in Los Angeles, and a B.A. in jazz guitar from the Berklee College of Music in Boston) and the subtle yet undeniable influence of the Hawaiian slack-key guitar.

Nearly a decade later after its initial release, âHeart, Music and Artâ still remains as one of Patrickâs most popular albums; this smooth collection has become a classic that continues to delight fans of beautiful acoustic guitar music!
