ALBERTO SONZOGNI‘s debut album ‘September Man’ will be released on February 12th. The Italian musician has brought all his musical influences into this record and by blending different style of music, from AOR to country, he has given to every song its own character and nuances.

The second single taken from the album, entitled ‘Scary World’, is an example of Sonzogni’s variegated composition skills. This track has a strong prog and melodic hard rock vibe, the powerful sound matches the lyrics about this scary world we are living today, where things are getting worse mostly because of human behaviors.

The eight minutes of the song are supported by the energetic performance of the musicians, the hammond organ played by Sonzogni and the electric guitars recorded by Daniele Finazzi and Dale Sanders, special guest for lead guitar parts, stand out with their sharp riffs and solos. Another guest is singer Alessandro Stucchi that alternates with Alberto as lead vocal.

Alberto Sonzogni about ‘Scary World’: ” This song is an analysis of the outside world, with his constant and more frequent tragic events experienced by humanity (natural disasters, wars, poverty and pandemics). The singer expresses his fragility: he don’t want to ignore the situation, but he’s feeling overwhelmed by it. Despite this, he knows there’s a tiny spark of hope in people with his same sensitivity, who cares about  the future of this world”.

It’s the September man, the Italian keyboard player Alberto Sonzogni that, after three years of hard work , has selected 10 tracks to be included in his upcoming debut album.

‘September Man’ ‘s sound has been driven by Sonzogni’s listenings of artists like Toto, Eagles, Joe Bonamassa and many more. The result is a unique blend of melodic rock and aor, influenced by country and blues on some tracks, that the album offers to the listeners.

During recordings Alberto has been supported by his fellow musicians Gessica Pirola – vocals; Daniele Finazzi – guitars; Nicolò Gullotto – bass e Stefano Guidi – drums.

The record is set to be released on February 12th via Freemood – Feelmaker record label, available on both CD and digital.

Sonzogni about the making of September Man: “As many debut records, this has started as a joke, I was writing small chords loops and melodies when I realized I had so much material to be able to record a full album. All this songs are born when I was listening artists like Trace Adkins, Toto, Kid Rock, Kiefer Sutherland, Eagles, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Joe Bonamassa and many more. Every listening experience  had an impact on me and I was focused on learning by these artist’s musical ideas. This is where the ispiration begun to flow to write my own songs, without mimicking these artists, but trying to be 100% me”.
