FAUSTO LEONORA - UNUSUAL MATTER
Mexico's Fausto Leonora makes listening to music fun. Her arrangements are full of turns and surprises indicative of an artist with a talent for harnessing inspiration. As a result of this, I believe that alternative pop is a suitable description of her sound.
Unusual Matter is a glowing example of how Fausto Leonora applies her talent to her inspiration.
Beginning with a carousel of a capella leading into the exposition, Leonora takes advantage of her beautiful voice before quirky, yet grooving, rhythm section tracks surround her. The chorus takes off on a rocket. And maybe that's not the best way to describe it; to say rocket gives an aggressive impression that is misplaced. The chorus is more like a magic carpet. Incomprehensibly smooth, purposeful, and focused. Leonora's vocal, her writing, is thought-provoking. Insightful lyrics always get me fired up!
