LA RECENSIONE

Here I am for my first virtual review, specifically about the new (and potentially last, given the poor commercial success) single from Amari, a Friulian group, taken from the excellent album "Grand Master Mogol".

I press "play" on my stereo and four quarters of drums start (attention: acoustic!) supported by an imperceptible synth and a rhythmic monosyllable of an "Amaro". It's done, I think. Another wonderful song in Amari's style. And indeed, before I can say Jack Robinson, my ears are filled with a warm, almost summer-like synth, and a straightforward drum beat that informs us that "Meeting people on the train can be better than shaking hands." How can we deny it when it's said by people capable of producing these beautiful melodies...

The song flows swiftly, perhaps a bit repetitive in the choruses, but never boring. Amari know what they're doing with the keyboards and the rest; you can feel the experience accumulated with "Gamera" and "Apotheke". Needless to say, in full Amari style, the song changes rhythm halfway, abandons the keyboards, and leaves only the base for a classic rap-non-rap typical of the band. But this time the poetry is deep, much more thought out than that in the bridge of "Campo Minato". In the finale, while the band sings the song title in a loop, there's also room for a distorted guitar solo, neither praiseworthy nor blameworthy.

In conclusion, I can say that the group has produced another nice track, as non-commercial as ever, but which will certainly enchant enthusiasts. Try it to believe it.
