'Lord Bygon' - aka; Guiseppe Gambino speaks This British singer/songwriter is one of the icons of the new Indie Artist Wave, whose success on the web is really deserved: his original (and so familiar, I would say) singing style grabs the listener's attention from the first note of every single song. Not to mention his skill in writing great melodies and building nice and quiet atmospheres which make of his CD 'Jeza Wined Up' really worth it, from the '70s Pop of 'How Can I Help You?', where Jeza seems to pay his tribute to the evergreen songwriters like Cat Stevens to the Latisn feel of 'Circumstances' (which shows, like also in 'You're the One'), from the sliding guitars of the awesome 'Deep Water' (in my humble opinion, his best song ever) and the soulful 'Place in the River', where - as I've said in more than an occasion - Jeza effectively conjugates to his 'totally British' Pop a slightly American-like feel, making of his style a perfect hybrid between the two Anglo-Saxon worlds So, is it an Englishman playing the American, or an American hidden inside an Englishman? It doesn't matter anyway: if you like the Pop with the capital 'P', you'll love Jeza, whose music is currently broadcasted on radio stations all around the world. His success, in spite of the fact that the so-called 'majors' go on neglecting those musicians who have only their music to offer, shows that there's a world where music, and only music, counts: and that world is the web. Giuseppe Gambino, Italia Lord Bygon on 'Chasing After Wind' (demo version) This new Jeza's song shows us his versatility and confirms his latin melodic vein after the exciting episodes of his CD 'Wined Up'. He says it's just a preview, but this song has a great heart: just a simple rhythm pattern, a guitar (maybe overdubbed here and there), Jeza’s voice (doubled where necessary), and voila, another sweet jewel. But in a few seconds you suddenly hear something special in this song, and you start asking yourself why. Based on the intriguing passage B major/A major, with the smart use of 'magic' sevenths, this song has its 'curio' moments in the bridge/chorus where a series of minor chords give a sudden, very serious taste to the whole mood. Then you start to understand what’s happening: this song is made of different elements, slightly fighting each other: the voice, the melody and the lyrics. Jeza's voice is one you can't forget, and even the first time you hear it, what you see is an old friend arriving your home with a guitar in his hands, ready to tell you another story. Soft and reassuring, Jeza’s voice takes you by the hand and leads you to his colourful world. Unlike other tunes, which are built in a slightly more traditional way, 'Chasing after wind' leaves always something undefined, maybe untold, so that you have to listen to it again and again, in the attempt to catch the intimate essence of the whole track. And the more you try, the more elements you find, until you decide that all you need to do is listen, period. This undefined mood, given by the music, is in perfect contrapposition to the lyrics: he doesn't joke when he says they were written 3,000 years ago: just listen, there's not much I can add to these words' wisdom and beauty. That’s why this song amazes you: the mood is sweet but undefined, the voice is quiet, the lyrics are heavy like stones. So this is why you must stop doing what you're doing to listen carefully to this song: your friend Jeza is lovely and sweetly scolding you. Do you know anyone else who can do this and sound so friendly and sincere at the same time? I don't. Except for some live tunes and a fleeting, curious and interesting trip in the multicoloured world of electronic, this is Jeza first release after 'Wined Up', and we can immediately hear a step further in Jeza's personal path, made of even more meditative moods, but always keeping the atmosphere friendly, quiet and smooth. So, will this be the main characteristic of this new Jeza's phase? Mmmm, I'd wait before saying it, Jeza is the man who can always amaze you with his infinite British sarcasm, so I won’t be so surprised if next time I hear something totally different from the Jeza I'm used to.
