Nach Singles mit Malik 'theFreq' Moore, Laetitia Sadier (Stereolab) und Lena Karlsson kommt Giorgio Tuma Album: Eine Kollektion von Songs für eine galaktische Cocktail Party! We made the announcement just a few short weeks ago - after three singles of collaborations with Malik 'theFreq' Moore, Laetitia Sadier and Lena Karlsson, and after a few months of waiting, we finally have Giorgio Tuma's new album in our hands. "This Life Denied Me Your Love" is a collection of songs made for a galactic cocktail party, where glamour and elegance go subtly and delicately hand in hand, making a highly exciting but hard to classify collection of songs. The album substitutes the psychedelic fantasy of previous releases for a dreamy elegance, without letting go of the small trademark hallucinogenic touches, to which we also have to add the goldsmith's accuracy we have come to expect. In this case, the hallucinogenic touch comes from the synthesizers and arpeggiators (which curiously links him to our beloved MODULAR, using that collaboration with Laetitia Sadier, that delicious "Maude Hope", as a tie), which intermix with silky chords and acoustic guitars. But at the same time this is probably the most introspective of all of Giorgio Tuma's albums so far. From that opening full of synthesizers that is "The Wings Of A Loser" to that fragment of acoustic folk-blues that closes the album ("In Back Of You"), a certain melancholy runs through the album from beginning to end, with its luminous moments and other silent ones, but always with that feeling of unease that stays in the body after a sharp pain.
