Kaveh Rastegar: Light of Love
È un pop sofisticato, dalle sonorità ricercate, che mostra un po' ovunque tracce di quel jazz cosmopolita e contemporaneo che fra le correnti recenti sembra quella più in grado di flirtare con la vecchia forma canzone.
Un album di suoni elettrici, bassi sotterranei, voci femminili, melodie felpate che di Rastegar raccontano l'anima più personalmente pop. Molto differente da quella di sideman d'eccezione al fianco non solo di John Legend, Beck, Bruno Mars, Meshell Ndegeocello o De La Soul, ma del meno scontato dei frontman italiani immaginabili sul palco con uno strumentista come Kaveh (da una decina d'anni infatti Rastegar è bassista nella formazione che accompagna Luciano Ligabue in studio e dal vivo).
Una musica nuova, una trama sonora ampia e aperta, resa ancora più lucente grazie al coinvolgimento di un ricco gruppo di musicisti e amici capaci di comporre, tessera dopo tessera, il mosaico di un concetto esteso di canzone.
