This short, 5 track album from the Spaniard Javier Moreno is a blend of striking Spanish folk music and upbeat flamenco. This is Javier’s second release, following the release of his first album Un Tesoro, which was sung in Spanish tongue. This album is sung in English beautifully with small passages of Spanish language, which are used creatively and add authenticity to the Mediterranean sound.
Javier has been on the scene in this country since 2006 and this album should definitely give him the credit that he justly deserves. It is not mainstream by any stretch of the imagination, nor is it bound for huge success or popularity but do not let that put you off.
From start to finish the album sends you into a dream of blue skies and white beaches, the several instruments played throughout the album are done so acoustically and with fantastic competence and Javier’s voice is wonderfully soft and exotic sounding as he tells us a heartfelt story with each track. Sarah Owens backing vocals on the last track Temptation are a joy to listen too also, although her part is very short, she too has a lovely voice and a huge talent.
He is sure to be a hit at the many concerts he is playing this year and hopefully his following will grow from strength to strength.
