CINCO – Chapell (aka Alan Chapell) (as told by Mr. Bones) With his intriguing vocal styling supported by an infectious mix of piano, violin and horns, Alan Chapell’s CINCO presents a quintessential college radio sound. In it he offers up a 21st century pop style by masterfully integrating funk, jazz and a bit of Latin styling. What’s more, he is a masterful story teller, whether contemplating a friend’s job loss in Shout It, to the impacts of social media on the national psyche in Spin (his side gig is as an internet privacy attorney). RIYL: Beatles, REM 1 On The Rooftop – joyous celebration of life in NYC and the liberation of the city’s music scene in the early ‘70’s with divine horns (fast, 3:37)*** 2 Shout – uptempo soul-pop story of a friend who perseveres after losing her job with hot violins (med, 3:50)* 3 All I Need – sad story of recognition that a relationship is over but not ready to move on (med, 3:51) 4 Newsonic – driving funky beat with a latin vibe & killer violin (fast, 4:51) 5 Without You - (fast, 4:51) 6 It’s Not My Fault – bouncy melody against a sad story of someone whose had a tough life (fast, 5:12) 7 Spin – melodic commentary on the proliferation of alternative facts in the media (med, 3:53)** 8 Blame – interesting key & time changes on this one (med, 3:51)*** 9 When You’re In Love – bouncy pop song about being in love (med, 3:50) 10 God Is Great – Eleanor Rigby feel with great line, “God is great, I just wish he came ‘round here more” (med, 3:53)* 11 Reaction (The Drinking Song) – uptempo rocker (fast, 4:51) 12 Say Goodbye – nice harmonica, fiddle & vibes interplay on this story about growing out of a first love (fast, 4:41)* 13 The Entertainer – dramatic piano & violin punctuate this story about being a troubadour (slow, 4:22)* | ||
