The album unveils a brand new world of melodies, entrancing musical arrangements and interpretations that have the power to touch our hearts. Mitch Hiller, a Londoner, has for many years deployed a wide range of talents in various collaborative works and productions that have always been successful. And that is not all. The album hits a cord also thanks to the flawless communication between Frank Marino on bass, Pierre Chereze on guitar and Diane Marino on piano in the duet with Robert entitled In My Mind. The twelve tracks provide a range of different moods, mixing country, country-rock, Euro pop, and country pop to cite but a few. The musical accompaniment is dazzling and the passion becomes increasingly contagious with each number we listen to. The wealth of Robert Lauri’s musical creativity is characteristic of this musician and his openness to the world. He stimulates the association of different musical genres to offer us unique, always harmonious moods. In sum, it could be said that Robert is a visionary melodist unlike any other. Each of his musical moods bears his “stamp.” Driven by a magical inspiration, Robert Lauri creates and produces without respite at an exponential pace. Robert Lauri will share the songs in première with friends and fans on his Facebook page and You Tube channel. “Oh No” is a single from the new album now available on the main download stores.
