About
Kevin Lambert has a pure, stripped-back sound. Whether underpinned by acoustic guitar or piano, his songs create a comfortable and familiar living room feel.
Singer-songwriter Kevin Lambert steers back to the simple sounds of the likes of Jason Mraz and Jack Johnson. Story is the backbone of his songs, much as it is with Bob Dylan or Ben Harper.
Kevin Lambert’s songwriting process often begins with a melody and gibberish. The melodies are already infectious, and then out of the nonsense lyrics comes a word or a phrase that becomes the foundation stone of the song. Kevin Lambert builds out the song’s story from there.
London-based since 2006, Kevin Lambert is as true to his stripy jeans as he is to his South African roots.

Debut Single - This Ain't an Ordinary Fire
SONG STORY - THIS AIN'T AN ORDINARY FIRE
This ain’t an ordinary fire is melodically and lyrically thoughtful and catchy. True to Kevin Lambert’s process, the title line emerged, followed by the words “I saw your hand in the light as you took my heart to yours.” Something about the imagery grabbed him, and he built that out into a story of two imperfect people stumbling through their relationship.

This Ain't an Ordinary Fire - Lyrics
VERSE 1
We made this fire
Out of wood, sticks and brier
Don’t know how we got this far
There were days when we got cold inside
But we held on for life
PRE-CHORUS
This ain’t an ordinary fire
Alive when we’re hurting
Holds when we’re learning
to love
CHORUS
I saw your hand
In the light as you took
My heart to yours
Freedom we found
We forgive
and we love
We love
TAG
This ain’t an ordinary fire
VERSE 2
The rain came down
Thought it'd be over now
But there was more than we could see
Beneath the ashes, a smouldering comes alive
Now a flame that lives in me
