It's perhaps every artist's dream to release a record that takes fans on a journey, because often, in the contemporary music scene, sounds and lyrics seem to be unable to engage enough those listeners hoping to find themselves emotionally involved in a musical body of work.
The latter, rather fortunately, doesn't seem to apply to Japanese Pianist and Composer Naoko Sakata, an artist that our website has being following since Day One of her remarkable career, an artist that has that unique talent of transporting effortlessly the listener in her own personal world through the intensity, class and overwhelming passion that transpires every time out of Sakata's sublime improvisational compositions.
There is no doubt whatsoever that one of the most successful and celebrated albums of 2023, it has been Blood Brothers, a new project that has met the favours of both music fans and worldwide press from two of the biggest giants of contemporary American Blues/Rock, guitarists and singers/songwriters Albert Castiglia and Mike Zito.
Ascoltare un disco nuovo di un autentico pioniere, negli anni '80, del Synth-Pop italiano come Renato Abate, in arte Garbo, e' sempre una piacevolissima carezza nell'anima.
Un artista la cui visione in musica, dopo 40 e piu' anni nell'olimpo musicale italiano, non e' mai stata circoscritta da imposizioni discografiche o dettata dall'esigenza di dover giocoforza aderire ad un determinato filone musicale, pur di accontentare numerose migliaia di fans, la direzione sonora di Garbo e' sempre stata ed e' ancora fermamente protesa in avanti, con la voglia ancora forte di sperimentare con la musica, in modo che essa diventi traduttrice fedele della crescita musicale e personale di questo raffinato cantautore.
