Vlado Grizelj - Purple Sky (2024) [Official Digital Download]

The new album "Purple Sky" by guitarist and composer Vlado Grizelj is a perfect example of how the balance between the artistic driving forces of tradition and craftsmanship can lead to a rousing result.

Purple Sky" begins with the typical syncopated "The First One", which grooves casually and whose melody is particularly memorable due to the unison of guitar and organ. "Wanna dance?" and "Bring It On" shift up a gear, with effective uptempo stops and energetic guitar, piano and drum solos. It gets more emotional with "Purple Sky": in the title track, which is backed by a lyrically hoarse Fender Rhodes electric piano, Grizelj's guitar revels in the memory of his father with a gentle, distinctive melody line, which is briefly interrupted by a screaming distortion rock solo. "Fine" is completely immersed in a gentle ballad tone. The rocking character of "Dark Storm", on the other hand, cannot deny a slight Southeast European influence, just as "Coming Home", inspired by a visit to Sarajevo, cannot do without its transfigured, nostalgic undertone despite all its coolness. "Wow!" returns to a heavy, extremely relaxed groove before the album ends with a real sonic "supernova".
