The Roman musician, composer, arranger and producer Nerio “Papik” Poggi is featured here regularly, and is one of my favourites. I was therefore very excited when I saw that he had realized a new project, and that is this Sea Breeze. The “yacht rock” from the west coast of the USA is central to this. Papik helped write most of the songs, and also recorded some covers. The opener 'Chains of our Love' was sung by Filippo Perbellini, and immediately sets the tone for this beautiful album, which was released by the Italian label Irma Records Group. The relaxed atmosphere creates a real holiday feeling. This is followed by the well-known cover 'How Long' by Paul Carrack, now sung by Lo Van Gorp. The ballad 'A Blur in a Morning Dew' has vocals from Dario Daneluz, after which the relaxed mid-tempo of 'I Shouldn't Stay' was sung by Alan Scaffardi. ‘Biggest Part of Me’ is a song written by David Pack when he was a member of the band Ambrosia. Mario Rosini sang it. This is followed by the original track 'Bottom Line', again with vocals by Lo Van Gorp. The ballad 'I'm Counting on You' is the next track with vocals by Dario Daneluz and sax by Carlo Maria Micheli. 'Movin' on' sounds a bit more funky, with vocals by Filippo Perbellini, followed by the ballad 'The Many Things I've Lost along the Way', which was sung by Alessandro Pitoni. 'Wait Another Day' is another relaxed track, with vocals by Lo Van Gorp. 'Never too Late' is a bit more mid-tempo with vocals by Dario Daneluz, after which 'Right or Wrong' was sung by Andrea “Satomi” Bertorelli. Alfredo Malabello then sings 'Walkin' by My Side', followed by the David Paich cover 'Miss Sun', which was recorded by both Boz Scaggs and Toto. Here David Florio takes care of the vocals. As a bonus track you will receive 'My Favorite Song' as a gift on this CD. Kenneth Bailey provides the vocals on this somewhat funky track. Again a really cool CD, with relaxed West Coast music. If you like the music of Toto, Boz Scaggs, and smooth soul, this one is for you. Highly recommended!
