"Sweet textures with loops and secuences that remind us of the European House with the Brit Pop ingredient. A very good production with optimistic lyrics."-



ROLLING STONE



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"This artist makes us fly through worlds of love and consciousness. Melodic tracks with a well achieved production. The album sometimes reminds us of the sound of Coldplay. Defanico's voice sounds quite familiar to the voice of Bono from U2. The album explores the instrumental and atmospheric side too."-
