Review Centre: Singers With Backing Tracks

"TONY AND THE BAND WERE AMAZING!!! We hired them for our wedding and genuinely people are still talking about how great they were 3months later. Tony was brill and he met with us to go through and accommodate what we were looking for including a request to play a particular song for the first dance. Thank you for making our day so special. If you're looking for a great Soul/Motown band then look no further. "

"Hype Magazine USA Cure For Jealousy A perfectly polished storyteller in the literal sense, Dar.Ra goes for this wild swing of ‘80s dance-rock infused with edge on the stomping sweetness of “Cure For Jealousy.” The track combines a range of periods and influences, ensuring the sound works seamlessly as a cohesive, concise whole. Volume is a given; he brings it, and it is a physical sound, like the way blood rushes through the ears with the first few traces of jealousy. Looking through his track record, he’s managed to touch upon every iteration of dance and rock within the last forty years, and has done it well. Outside of the music, he’s the author of two books, which also inform the character studies that he graces with his sound. It is catchy, addictive, and liberating stuff, the sort of thing that the music world needs now – something unique, experimental yet accessible, and overflowing with ideas. Sonically, Dar.Ra’s sound draws on the revivalist traditions of DFA Records, specifically on LCD Sound-System’s earnest pleas and search for meaning. Like James Murphy, Dar.Ra does have a love for the aesthetics of just a gigantic canvas, letting the whole arrangement feel enormous. On the classic side, the insistent bass has an ESG quality, with the groove absolutely dominating. It is easy to get intoxicated by the atmosphere, and the vocals further sell this idea of breaking free from this impairment. The tautness of the groove even delves into Parliament’s most unhinged experiments, as the track sparkles with endless creativity. For all these reference points, Dar.Ra continues his fine tradition of marching to the beat of a different drummer, going for this life-affirming, soulful stance. The stormy mix of keyboards and the tight rhythm section work their magic. Before his voice enters the equation, the mood is already set. When he takes center stage, the song transforms into an inner turmoil. He’s conflicted, and the verses cascade downwards reflecting exactly that. It stuns, and the track’s length makes the atmosphere almost psychedelic. Of course, this is what good dance music is meant to embody – endless expanses, endless possibilities. There is a reason so many dance-floors adhere to that sixto-seven-minute mark, even exceeding it when necessary. The band's interplay feels spirited, as if possessed, and this is what carries it all the way to the finale: a contemplative commotion. “Cure For Jealousy” shows that Dar.Ra is what music needs right now – a sound that draws and builds on the past while pointing a way forward, in a purely hedonistic, funk/dance/punk flavour."

"Lorenzo is simply brilliant. Lorenzo performed at our wedding, for the ceremony and during the aperitivo. From beginning to end, he was incredibly communicative and organised, very happy to do whatever we wanted, even when we had a last minute request. He went to the venue to check it out in terms of where he could play, the electrics, what he would need to bring with him, which was incredibly helpful to us. He organised a set list for us based on our tastes and we didn't need to change a thing as it was perfect. On the day itself, he arrived early to set up and was just lovely and friendly throughout, and he played so well. All of our guests had nothing but positives to say about him and his music, and we are just so appreciative of his efforts."

"We absolutely loved Cecilia! Her choice of songs was spot on, as each one connected with us on a profound level. We asked her to learn a song that held special significance for us, even though she hadn't heard it before. However, since we requested it a month in advance, she took the time to learn it and delivered a beautiful rendition. Cecilia's heartfelt performance touched many of our guests, bringing them to tears. We are incredibly thankful that we selected her for our wedding, and we highly recommend her.” -- Gabriel and Shanice"

"Excellent music Fast, precise, and very competent. As a duo at our wedding, they entertained our guests with international music, sung and played live at three stations. They readily agreed to play some of the songs we requested, thrilling everyone. Highly recommended!"

"Our company had Saira perform "Barcelona" by Freddie Mercury and Monserrat Caballe to open our 1500-person award show in Barcelona in April. Saira was a delight to work with from start to finish. She offered song suggestions for our opening number and once we locked in our song, she made sure to keep in touch about how she was reworking the song to sound the best from stage. Saira was always easy to get in touch with, quick to reply and had so much patience with us throughout the entire process. Saira pivoted with ease on a last minute change we had one week before the show, and she was beyond professional onsite. We certainly hope we can work with Saira again in the future and would highly recommend her for other performances! Thank you, Saira! "
