Italy’s Blind Faith Records comes through once again with a beautiful new LP by Luca Sapio that touches every point and angle with a sound thats cinematic and soulful and reminiscent of some of the greats. Black Waves is the new full length from Roma Italy’s Luca Sapio, a talented singer, songwriter and producer who brought so much feeling and emotion to this 11 track LP that’s rooted in social justice, love, and introspection. The cover art immediately sets the tone for what will be a spiritual journey that uplifts and invokes peace and harmony.
Luca Sapio crafts an evocative musical landscape that echoes the soulful activism of Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On”, Curtis Mayfield’s “There’s No Place Like America Today”, and Eugene Mac Daniels’ “Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse” infused with the timeless sounds of Italian vintage soundtracks—Piero Piccioni, Ennio Morricone, and their cinematic grandeur—this album is a powerful blend of social awareness and heartfelt emotion. Among the guests legitimising the sound of the album are the legendary Dennis Coffey (Original Motown Funk Brother), Rob Harris (Jamiroquai) and the veteran Boston rapper Ed O.G. along with the same strings used by Ennio Morricone. Record mastered by grammy winner Mike Bozzi.
