Press
“Well written, masterfully arranged, with great musicianship and Skidmore’s commanding voice nearly every track on Make Believe is a potential single, particularly the uptempo heavy melody numbers such as opener "Set Me Free." With a chiming guitar lick, the song makes wonderful use of space in its construction. There’s atmosphere to spare within the tune, essentially a series of choruses and sing-along-hooks. At just a shade over three minutes, it’s a perfect pop single.
But that’s just a start. Bucking a trend in the less is more category, Skidmore offers up 14 tracks, each cut from a different cloth.”
