On the opening track of Personal Appeal R. Stevie Moore answers his own question of, “why can’t I write a hit” with the response, “the songs are too weird”. Plenty catchy, very clever, and often brilliant R. Stevie Moore has the ability to reach musical fame, but can’t constrain himself in one box. Constantly exploring genres and writing songs that careen through multiple stages, “Personal Appeal” does a good job of epitomizing R. Stevie Moors musical diversity and talents.
