| Vonnell's Debut Album Grammy-winner And Producer Robert Morales Is Working With Independent Record Label Vimmusic To Launch New Artist Vonnell With His Debut Album. Vonnell's debut album “31 de Febrero” (February 31) comes from a rich, diverse and interesting angle- pop/rock, ballads and songs with modern and exquisite Cuban as well as Brazilian energies. The album has been considered by critics as "a break through album." Singer/songwriter Vonnell joins forces with Brazilian guitarist Jucimar "Oliver" de Oliveira and the two-time Grammy-winner producer Roberto Morales, who has worked with industry names such as Enrique Iglesias. The result is a unique CD filled with fire and depth. Listeners will clearly and rapidly notice Vonnell's new and fresh tenor voice as well as his incredible storytelling ability through his meaningful lyrics and harmonies. This is not the typical Latin pop/rock album, it's only considered so because of the languages people will hear (Spanish and Portuguese-which are just two of the five languages spoken by the young artist). Vonnell was raised in the United States after migrating from Cuba as a child in 1986 and has since been influenced by the sounds of Billy Joel, Phil Collins and Elton John as well as jazz legends such as Charlie Parker, David Sanborn, Art Tatum, Oscar Peterson and Brazil's Carlos Jobim and Djavan. He gives this album a powerful and musically filled punch which goes beyond the typical pop/rock sound, stretching the envelope and defining new "limits" in commercial music. Everything from sensual and flirtatious up-tempo songs, to thought provoking ballads is included in this album, as well as the saxophone and piano playing sounds of Vonnell himself. Vonnell is rising to the top of record pools in Italy, New York, New Jersey, California and North Carolina. He is also in rotation in numerous internet stations with the the first cut “Cara de Caramelo.” write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
