Another Meylenstein!

We actually need a Gregor Meyle Album lose no big word, because if you listen carefully, the disarming honesty and openness will touch the audience immediately. The lyrics and the musical interpretation speak for themselves and tear immediately. Nevertheless, or perhaps because you just can not beat around, but to say a few words to the album.

An essential part of the fourth longplayer was recorded (New York) in the famous Avatar Studios. As with its predecessor mile for Meyle the recordings were made again under the direction of the exception-producer Christian Lohr (including Joss Stone), who has held with a lot of tact a transparent sound, which leaves enough room each instrument. Even the majority of instruments such as wings, piano or chime Christian Lohr has the same recorded himself.

Once again Lohr and Meyle paid attention to many subtleties and details what is particularly noticeable on the vinyl edition of the album. Thus, the singer-songwriter has fulfilled a long-cherished dream, time to publish a correct record! Fans of black gold will also be delighted.

In addition to his band, consisting of Massimo Buonanno (drums), Christian Herzberger (violin) and Markus Segschneider (pedal steel), has become more high-profile support Meyle into the studio. Grammy and (freshly baked) Echo winner Antonio Sanchez (drums, including Pat Metheny) and Elliot (trumpet) and Brad Mason (trumpet) and Jorge Roeder (bass) provide sensational jazz vibes. New York, however, Stintino has become not a typical jazz album but an album Gregor Meyle with jazzy bonds. The focus still are the soul-stirring and touching lyrics.

Alone the opener I believe in you (a more appropriate could not have been found), which offers magnificent brass inserts and skillful drumming and the makings of a radio hit, has generated from the first note a tension that unfolds more and more with every second. An encouraging text meets here on a beautiful melody with catchy. Similarly structured go Meyle and his fellow musicians with land in sight to work. Again, the Mason Brothers await with a great trumpet and trombone playing, which is accompanied by a glockenspiel. At the end of the song the audience is treated to a magnificent trumpet solo. In this (and also the other pieces) of the acoustic bass produced in conjunction with the drums a pleasant and at the same time special listening and form a sound carpet of more than just a rhythm section represents.

But there are also the small sparsely instrumented songs like The opportunity (with a beautifully painted bass), no other search or the first single here speaks your heart, living on the lyrics and so to something big and special.

As varied and complex as life and the album has become. So the album comes up with a new recording of the song Tonight (originally on Meylenweit), but this time as a German-Portuguese duet with Brazilian singer Raissa quite the bossa nova style. Fans of good jazz music are at the profound and self-reflective Do you love me can practice tricks if Sanchez the drums with brushes almost tenderly caressing and increases more and more in the course of the song!

Take time was seasoned with a pinch Country and thus accompanies the message, just time to take time for themselves, in top quality. Probably the best Native to the pedal steel, Markus Segschneider, completes the song from his perfect game.

Taking the best is yet (rehearsed with wonderful Christian Herzberger strings and a discreetly kept in the background arranged choir) as a promise, we can look forward to the musical future of Gregor Meyle, which certainly still one or the other surprise is ready.

The album will be released in the CD version as elaborately designed digi-pack with numerous photos and in the vinyl version as lovingly designed gatefold. The artwork comes this course to their best advantage.

Conclusion: New York Stintino Gregor Meyle has again taken up an intense, yet intimate album that sweeps through a perfect instrumentation and lyrics at the highest level. An almost limitless enthusiasm of the participating musicians round off the new album, which offers harmonious clarity and technical brilliance and with each further run repeatedly can discover new details. Another Meylenstein in hopefully never-ending musical journey of Gregor Meyle, the most perfect and most credible songwriters and musicians in Germany!
