Italian-based alternative-pop musician Umberto Bravo has just released a brand new ballad entitled ‘Sacred Sinner’. To say that it’s a song that’s hard to put in a box would be an understatement. Bravo cuts across genres and styles to concoct a tune that is unlike any I’ve heard in quite some time. It’s certainly mellow and expertly produced, and hints at a certain 80s vibe as well, but there are also original and innovative sounds that have just sucked me right in. The arrangement of ‘Sacred Sinner’ “winks at soul and gospel music tradition”, as Bravo puts on an exceptionally moving and passionate vocal performance.
Lyrically, Umberto tries desperately to move a relationship that began as a physical one into a more emotional one. Addressing the burning issue of carnal passion, he goes places lyrically that others dare tread. Perhaps, others haven’t thought about it this way. Or perhaps, there’s a bit of genius at work.
Overall, ‘Sacred Sinner’ is a truly unique and powerful ballad that showcases Bravo’s exceptional talent as a musician and songwriter. His innovative blend of styles and his emotive lyrics make for a deeply captivating listening experience.
