A new album release from Zafirios brings out a lush and bright pop undertone record that manages to blend together a wonderful array of genres and songwriting approaches all in one record letting you step into what I would consider a whole different atmosphere for a little while and that in itself gives this album a little bit of escapism for you and that's something I have come across in quite some time.
The Summer Sand album is beautifully performed and has hints of everything from classic rock to jazz, and these classic pop styles that all come together and build on this album so that the further into it you listen the more wrapped up you get and everything.
The guitar work is one of the most standout performances across the course of the album and it's all done with a tasteful approach and a lot of heart but then again, the whole record has a certain level of heart to it which is part of its appeal.
There are quite a few singles that stand on their own two feet and would do great by themselves however I do feel like listening to this record from start to finish is the best way to do it.
There are things about the record that make me think it's possibly a concept album as well of course I can't be sure about that, but it feels like the songs connect with each other or serve almost like chapters in the songwriter's life.
I really loved how each of these songs kind of take on a life of their own and the drive behind them is ever-changing so by the time you get halfway through the record you don't exactly know what to expect next, but you know it's going to be good and will pull you right in.
There's an array of beautiful instrumentation strewn across the record and the vocals have that classic rock layer on them and that gives you a certain character which lets you get attached to the record really quickly.
I think that is one of the things that works as the glue for the songs across the album. It has this character to it and that speaks volumes for both the record and the persona of the project.
You get some great melodies that end up bouncing around in your head for days after the songs have ended and you also get some emotional drive behind some of these tracks as well which lets you understand that a lot of these songs are very authentic and possibly just came from real life experiences.
All in all, I'm sure that this is the kind of music that we need more of these days.
The kind of stuff that really grabs you and wraps itself around you keeping you right where it wants to so that you can just be engulfed by the whole album at once.
Being able to step into someone else's world for a little bit is like reading a good book or watching a good film and it feels good to be able to escape your reality for a moment in time.
This record gives you exactly that plus more and while it's happening, you're paying attention to what's going on lyrically.
A beautifully woven album delivered with great character and heart, this is definitely the type of project to pay attention to and keep an eye on.
Check this out when you can and I would suggest going for the full album, it's worth your time.
