Recently there has been a
few artistes who has been bubbling to near perfection but not
getting the recognition they so richly deservered (Remy
Shand and Dwele
comes to mind) but wait a sec - there in the distance is a talented
singer coming into his own, his name - Victor
Davies
Now although his self-titled
album was released almost 2 years ago, the music of this talented
London born singer/songwriter needs to be out there, being played
everywhere there's a radio station or internet station. It's swelted
in various rhythms from jazz to folk to comtempory R&B which
is very evident in the track reviewed here - Sound
of the Samba.
The song has the upfelt presence
of being a masterpiece right off the first note and I do say that
whole heartedly as it is just truly a wicked track. The slow introduction
of the lazy guitar and flute leads you into Victor's tender baritone
as he takes you on a journey into his musical world. As you trod
along the pace picks up and there you have a brazilian Samba in
full swing. Fruitful and deliberate the journey ends finding you
refreshed and filled and ready for another dose.
With all instruments played
by Victor, there isn't a single thing wrong with this track. All
the right ingredients are in place to see this one become this
summers stand out track. Put it on your shopping list as 'one
not to missed' as it will be a staple in your current listening
playlist. A quote from his site states "Victor Davies’s sound
is neither directed by certain trends nor through a marketing-created
image, it’s just pure and timeless music at its best" - I
definitely second that and then some as that sort of commitment
is hard to find nowadays. This is one not to be missed, do pick
it up if you get the chance.
