Solarrio Unveils Debut Album: A Masterful Blend of 1980s R&B and Funk with a Modern Twist
Emerging artist Solarrio is set to release his debut album, a vibrant tribute to the 1980s R&B and funk genres, infused with contemporary flair. Independently released on Playel Records, this self-produced masterpiece features collaborations with Holland Izz, Dusty G Fuller, Lenka Shockely, and Nnaji, creating an eclectic mix of tracks that are as engaging as they are innovative.
Crafted in the creative hubs of Los Angeles and Berlin, Solarrio's album is a synth-driven journey through bombastic beats and groovy rhythms, all underscored by a cinematic atmosphere that transports listeners into a world of vivid colors and heartfelt emotions. The album is a nod to the past while firmly planting its feet in the present, combining the feel-good vibe of the 80s era with modern, cutting-edge production.
Solarrio's music is characterized by its upbeat tempo and funky grooves, featuring honest, to-the-point lyrics and crafty songwriting. Each track showcases his ability to blend infectious melodies with thoughtful narratives, resulting in a sound that is both nostalgic and refreshingly new.
The album has been meticulously mastered at The Bakery Studios in Los Angeles. The visual representation of the album's atmosphere has been translated by Cassidy Howell, also known as Sahtyre, whose design for the album cover captures the essence of Solarrio's music—dynamic, colorful, and full of life.
David Barenboim, known artistically as Solarrio, whose journey reflects an eclectic combination of cultural influences and the pursuit of musical innovation. Born into a family immersed in classical music, David's early life was marked by a growing fascination with pop, hip-hop, and electronic music.
Growing up between Paris, Chicago and Berlin, David found himself drawn to pop and electronic music, genres that would later define his work.
In the early 2000s, David's career took a turn as he embraced his passion for contemporary music, leading to the birth of Solarrio. His early ears in music were marked by collaborations with various artists, but it was his solo project that truly encapsulated his vision. In 2017, he released his first EP, a bold declaration of his new sound and direction.
The turning point came in 2020. After a collaborative project in Nigeria and a brief hiatus during the pandemic, David re-emerged with a renewed focus. He began to hone a sound that was uniquely his, blending the nostalgic elements of '80s music with contemporary production. This period also saw him co-founding Playel Records, a label that would become the launchpad for his most authentic work.
Solarrio’s debut album, "All the Wrong Places," scheduled for release early 2024 is a culmination of his experiences and musical evolution. The album, characterized by its upbeat, fun-loving vibe, still carries the emotional depth.
From classical music to a pop music innovator, his journey is a testament to the power of embracing change and staying true to one's artistic vision.
