"There's nothing better than a talented performer who can also write a song that's full of hooks and melodies which really stick in a listener's head. It would've been enough to appreciate a talented guitar player and singer, but Zarnett has also impressed me with a song that's, above all else, just a really well-written piece of music."

"This is a near perfect listening experience. Start with the first track and just let it ride."

Review of the “Letting You Break My Heart” EP
"Recently, Zarnett unveiled his latest musical offering, a captivating five-song EP titled Letting You Break My Heart. The opening track, bearing the same name, immediately transports listeners to a nostalgic era reminiscent of the 1950s and 1960s. The song effortlessly merges accessibility with a velvety smooth sound, complemented by compelling dynamics. It serves as a stellar opener, setting the stage for an exceptional musical journey"
Garth Thomas - The Hollywood Digest, June 29, 2023
"Zarnett’s vocals shine brilliantly, infusing the composition with an enchanting quality. The groove is skillfully executed, resonating with echoes of artists from the late ’60s while emanating Zarnett’s distinctive style. The track boasts a warm and inviting quality that also feels familiar and nostalgic. There is much to admire in this musical offering, a testament to Zarnett’s artistic prowess."
Heather Savage - Top Buzz Magazine, may 31, 2023
"Everything sounds silky smooth and Zarnett’s voice is fantastic here. The groove is well done and I was definitely picking up on the sound of The Byrds but done in his own style. It’s also a catchy tune with some inventive production techniques. There’s a lot to appreciate here."
Matt Jensen - Pitch Perfect, may, 24, 2023
"Zarnett’s voice doesn’t sound exactly like anyone else, but it’s a confident and engaging voice that fits his music like a glove. Barely three minutes and they speed by like a bullet, demanding to be played on “repeat.”"

Review of single "Hey Elisa!"
"Writing the perfect pop tune that puts across a message in under four minutes while keeping to the three-chord, verse-chorus-verse formula isn’t as easy as it seems, and pulling it off without sounding like corporate schlock or AOR dreck is an even greater feat. The Complements never cross that line – their EP bristles with tight harmonies and solid accompaniment, courtesy of musicians like Mark Kelso, John Dymond and Steve Klodt, who’ve played with everyone from Pete Townsend to Shania Twain. Kevin Zarnett and Nurit Suzana are the band’s nucleus, trading off on lead vocals in songs about coping with the end of a relationship. Don’t worry – their strong writing avoids the sappy clichés that bogs down lesser breakup discs. The Complements launch their CD at the Rivoli Wednesday (February 2)."
