As Smooth As Silk

Gino Vannelli, the legendary Canadian singer-songwriter known for his eclectic fusion of jazz, pop, and soul, is back with a bang. His latest single, "Keep On Walking," is a reimagined classic from his 1975 album "Storm At Sunup." This time, it features in his deeply personal forthcoming album, "The Life I Got (To My Most Beloved)," a heartfelt tribute to his late wife, Patricia.

The intro to the track is as smooth as silk, as are his gorgeously hypnotic vocals. The song's evocative lyrics—"I love you in my loneliness/And it keeps me hangin’ on/I gotta, I gotta keep on walking"—are a powerful ode to resilience and love. Vannelli's re-arrangement breathes new life into the track with a punchy horn section and his unmistakably soulful vocals, which have only grown richer with age. After many years in the business, Vannelli's voice still soars, carrying the weight of all his emotions and experiences.

"Keep On Walking" is more than just a song; it's a journey. It's a testament to Vannelli's unwavering talent and his ability to connect deeply with his audience. The track's uplifting vibe and Vannelli's heartfelt delivery make it a standout, setting high expectations for the rest of the album. Just to be clear, Gino Vannelli is no new kid on the block - but he sure can teach the kids a few things when it comes to lyrics, melodies and sumptuous musical arrangements. Have a listen... oh and it wouldn't hurt to have a martini at hand, lay back, chill and enjoy.
