On AFX: Razteria "Prowess Blossoming" (ALBUM)
Coming off the vibrant music scene in the San Francisco Bay Area, Razteria teams up with Dave Shul on Prowess Blossoming-an album that nods its head toward classic rock and pop and updates those sounds. With a mix of upbeat dance vibes to melodic sweet love tunes, these 11 tracks will walk listeners through timeless themes: love, time passing, personal growth.
The real hooks on the album, though, are its vibrant guitar hooks, emotive melodies, and its style, a blend of the best of the 1960s through the 1990s. Tracks like "Fade Away," an anthem about freedom from negativity, and "Shot to the Heart," a sensitive declaration about love at first sight, carry a profoundly heartfelt core. Meanwhile, "Clock Stops Ticking" is a catchy pop-rock, very '70s-like; "Keep it Innocent" fuses reggae and pop to make some really striking versatility in this album.
Produced by Dave Shul, mixed to perfection by Razteria, the record shines thanks to contributions from a host of veteran musicians, among them Ronnie Smith and Roberto Quintana. Razteria's knack for blending genres and cultures is met by Shul's wealth of experience, earned through collaborations with icons like Spearhead, to create something that's both a nod to the past and an exciting step forward.
With Prowess Blossoming, soulful rock and pop fans are in for an entertaining piece of music that will most definitely echo deeper within. It is a thoughtfully compiled proof that classic influences and modern artistry can join in to create one truly memorable listening experience.
