Published: August 06, 2023

Music is and has always been an Art that, perhaps more that others, is capable to speak to the heart and soul of people. It might be because this marvellous art has got the power to unravel our memories, distant or more recent or touch our spirituality in a way that no other art is able to, always, of course in a subjective way.

Somebody that through his talent and compositional skills has been able and still is, throughout his whole career, to touch the emotional chords of millions of fans around the world, it is the Italian pianist and composer Roberto Cacciapaglia, one of the most renowned Piano Geniuses recognised universally around the world, from United States, Russia, his own country of origin Italy and many more.

It would be fair to say that many marvellous records are often the outcome of painful or particularly hard times in the life of a music artist. A little like what happened to one of the biggest music revelations in the British music industry, Roxanne De Bastion, a very talented singer/songwriter who, through her 2021 album You And Me, We Are The Same, a truly wonderfully written, arranged and sang record that dealt with the loss of De Bastion’s father Richard, a music artist himself that played a huge part in the personal and artistic growth of the London-based artist.

An album produced by a highly renowned British artist like Bernard Butler, You And Me, We Are The Same is a record that catapulted even further the talent of Roxanne De Bastion to the attention of the medias in the United Kingdom, after the young half-British half-German singer/songwriter had already impressed few years ago music fans and the media world with the release of her 2017 album, called Heirlooms & Hearsay. Following a triumphant 2022, where De Bastion toured incessantly the You And Me, We Are The Same album around the whole of the country, joining, at one point, also one of the most celebrated worldwide Synth/Pop artists of the last 4 decades, Howard Jones, as his opening act, the singer/songwriter decided to frame one of her most successful years of her career to date with an intimate live recording at St. Pancras Old Church in London, now released also as a record via Bandcamp, both in digital and physical format.

It's somehow baffling to see how many incredibly talented musicians out there do not get the attention that they deserve, for not only their artistic merits, but also for the original and deliciously quorky ideas that they put through hard work and dedication,  into the development of contemporary music.

 

On that note, our website has been absolutely thrilled to write about the new live album of a truly accomplished British collective called Native Dancer, a band that marries genres like Jazz, Soul, Hip-Hop and R&B in their music formula with such gusto and inspiring musical creativity.
