Vincent Poag ’s new album, The Unknown, is about life’s unpredictability. He doesn’t try to explain it. He just puts it into music. The album blends Americana, gospel, and ballads. The songs feel personal and honest.
“Use It or Lose It” opens the album with urgency. Poag’s voice is direct. The message is clear: don’t waste time. We all know that feeling—watching time slip away, wishing we had done more. This song puts it into words.
Poag’s strength is storytelling. His Long Island roots and Broadway influences show in his writing. “This Love of Mine” and “Oh What a Beautiful Girl” feel classic yet fresh. They capture love, loss, and longing in a way that sticks with you.
The title track, “The Unknown,” ties it all together. Poag sings, “All aboard, buckle up for the ride of your life.” It’s a reminder that no one has all the answers. And that’s okay.
Poag also released lyric videos for “The Unknown” and “Tabernacle Inn.” They add a visual layer to his storytelling, making the words hit even harder.
The Unknown is a reflection on life. Poag doesn’t try to be profound. He just tells the truth. And that’s what makes it work.
