PUZZLE / REVIEWS
• “Some music artists are able to paint a picture through their music and Kenny Fame is one of them. His latest musical creation offers a poetic approach through lyricism and music, titled ‘Puzzle’. While the artist depicts a picture of life and the passing of time, he also offers an introspection of living which is deeply thought-provoking.” – Daily Music Roll

• “Puzzle is a beguiling and different offering, a slow and poignant piece that feels more like an intimate confessional than the usual infectious dance groover. It leans more toward a sparse hip-hop sound, taking a soul-bearing look at life, painting a portrait of the kid that never quite fitted in.” - Dancing About Architecture

• “Kenny Fame’s story/song has a clear moral to it. It’s not the ill-shaped puzzle pieces that are responsible for finding a place where they fit. No, ones that may have already found their place in the world must stop only thinking about themselves and consider the needs of others. One is left with the impression that this song shouldn’t have needed to be written. Now that it’s done, though, let’s please do a better job of taking care of each other.” - Skope

• “Kenny Fame sings a song for the outsiders on “Puzzle.” Devoted to those who live on the margins, the outcasts, and oddballs, these are tales about people trying to find their way in the world. Their desire to fit in hurts, as this world expects conformity, not creative thinking.” - Beach Sloth

• “Puzzle” proves a powerful allegory as Kenny Fame sings for those who cannot.” AP

• “Dynamic Artist Kenny Fame Offers An Introspection to Life Through ‘Puzzle’” - AP

• ‘Puzzle’ embodies transformative musical journey and his unparalleled ability to connect deeply with listeners.” African Hype Magazine

• “Puzzle” is an exciting new musical short from Kenny Fame. This release is a perfect introduction to this mercurial New York artist, who is more than just a musician. Instead of simply aiming to entertain the audience, Kenny actually wants to inspire people through spoken words and more.” - Bandcamp Diaries

• “Puzzle’ is a powerful piece of music, inspiring and gripping from start to finish.” - AP

• The engaging interplay between the solo lead vocal and the backing vocal layers introduces just the right amount of dynamic contrast, keeping the listener engrossed from the first note to the last. As Puzzle reaches its concluding note, it leaves you steeped in its artistic ambience, reaching for the repeat button, craving yet another auditory serving” – Woke Chimp

• "A solemn, poignant tale of struggle and isolation, Kenny Fame's latest single "Puzzle" paints a lonely picture of not fitting in... Into life? Into friend circles? Into society? Maybe all of these things, or maybe left open to the listener's interpretation, we all face a bit of this in our own ways." – Coyote Music

• "In this song he manages to create a poetic atmosphere through lyrics and music. Kenny Fame’s music paints a picture of life and the passage of time while inviting an introspective, thought-provoking contemplation. The gentle vocals, accompanied by soulful guitar and percussion, give the track a catchy and captivating quality. It becomes clear that Kenny is a master at expressing his feelings through his songs, helping to find the missing pieces of a puzzle and of life.” – Excess Magazine

lyrics

[1st Verse]
All the streets were paved with broken glass.
I walked barefoot and never asked
why the streets were paved with broken glass.

[2nd Verse]
My winter coat never kept me warm,
those winds of hate blew in like an arctic storm;
winter coats never kept me warmed.

[3rd Verse]
Opinions formed my attitude;
was never nice and always rude;
opinions formed my attitude.

[4th Verse]
No friends so I never played.
Kids would laugh at me for days;
no friends so I never played.

[Chorus:]
Piece by piece
and bit by bit
I was that puzzle piece that never fit.
Piece by piece
and bit by bit.
Piece by piece
and bit by bit.
I was that puzzle that never quite fit.
Piece by piece
and bit by bit.

[Bridge:]
If I fall down
will you catch me?
You always laughed as I cried.
At least when all is said and done
I can always say that I tried. (Fade Out)
