Notes
Roberto Sol - an acclaimed artist not only in the global lounge and chillout scene - has now brought forth another masterpiece with his brand new album Electrified Emotions which is full of surprises. Including all the ingredients from the musical realms of pop, jazz and world music the album has turned out to be an impressive documentation of musical globalism. Downtempo beats and modern Jazz elements combined with exotic African and Asian elements turn your living room into a private Ibiza lifestyle zone. The sound reflects Roberto Sol's own cosmopolitan attitude. X-Factor contestant Gladys Mwachiti from Kenya singing in her mother tongue along with the African harp - called kora - provide that exotic touch to the song Pale. Mic Donet, (Voice of Germany winner nominated for an Echo Award in 2013) lends his distinctive soulful voice to the song Can't forget You. DJ Jondal - one of Europe's leading chillout and lounge music DJs - lend his great voice to the track The World Around You. Roberto says: The album presents short stories which are meant to give the listener a mixture of joy of life and sensuality. Electrified Emotions - embedded in relaxed beats and bass lines turns your living room into a private chill-out zone. Roberto Sol and his friends deliver the music - mixing the Caipirinha, Mojito or Hugo drink is then up to you! 100% Ibiza chillout music at it's best. Setting stories and moments in life to music to create a film without pictures was my biggest challenge when making this album. In order to make feelings of the soul audible and provide an impetus for joy, melancholy, enthusiasm and disappointment, to be the catalyst for an inner dialogue with oneself was the goal. As for many other artists the flair of the island of Ibiza had an inevitable impact on his work: the Balearic serenity, the tolerant co- existence of people of different origins, the sun and the sea.. With all the ingredients from the genres of pop, Jazz and world music with sparks of Gospel choirs, the album has become an impressive document of musical globalism which is underlined by multi- lingual lyrics in English, Spanish, Portuguese and African dialects - making the Universal audible: Flamenco inspired vocal parts by Spanish singer Ines Prado (Sueno de amor), X- Factor contestant Gladys Mwachiti from Kenya singing in her mother tongue along with the African harp better known as the kora create an exotic touch to the song Pale. ECHO Award nominee and Voice of Germany winner Mic Donet lends his distinctive souly voice to Can't Forget You and, last not least, Lisa de Andrande breathes Brazilian grace into the song Coracao. All this presented with amazing non-challance, refined technical artistry and an endless wealth of exciting ideas. The album presents short stories which are meant to give the listener a mixture of joy of life and sensuality. Electrified Emotions - embedded in relaxed beats and bass lines turns your living room into a private chill-out zone. Roberto Sol and his friends deliver the music - mixing the Caipirinha, Mojito or Hugo drink is then up to you! 100% Ibiza chillout music at it's best.
