Orphan Dream by Jet Black Pearl
Between dreams, disillusion, expectations, hopes, ambitions and failures, we try to make the best what life offers us but most of us are clumsy beings. So we fail miserably.
Sometimes, when we finally accept that the path we're on won't get any better vistas than the ones we're seeing right now, we can be happy with what we have, even if it's not much.
My musical influences come from all over the place, since I've lived in different countries, have written songs in different languages and have performed all over the world. Maybe we can call it a mix of world music, cabaret and jazz?
I prefer the direct connection with audiences over studio work, but I hope that these recordings reflect the energy and moods of what I play on stage. I worked on them for a long time, though... the first studio sessions were in 2018. The songs stayed in a drawer for a while, then I'd pick them up again, put them away, until I thought that if I didn't finish them, I'd never move on to the piles of other songs that are waiting to be recorded. So, they're now as ready as they'll ever be and there are some great musicians playing on the tracks, I'm happy.
