Mario Biondi

Description:

The first release from Sony Music. Mario Biondi, Italy's Date Man, makes his world debut! Incognito's Bluey says, "Mr. Italian vibe. Once you hear him, you'll never forget his voice." With his smoky baritone vocals and classy, girly pheromone, Mario Biondi is one of the most popular Italian singers in the world. Produced by Brui, the album features the four greats of acid jazz, including Leon Ware, Al Jarreau, Chaka Khan, Omar, and James Taylor! The first single, "Shine On," was born from the chemistry between Mario and Bluey, and is a fashionable track that seems to capture the atmosphere of the streets of West London. In addition to the original song, the album also features superb covers of Stevie Wonder, Kenny Rankin, and Boz Scaggs. Of note is the return of the Leon Ware/Richard Rudolph duo, who produced such 1970s soul classics as Minnie Riperton's "Inside My Love" and contributed two songs to the album.
