After 1. 3 years spent as frontman and songwriter in hard rockers MIDNITE SUN with two records released and lots of live dates, and after the prestigious experience with MOONSTONE PROJECT and SHINING LINE, Italian vocalist ENRICO SARZI is finally realizing his dream Drive Through, his first long awaited solo album. From the first to last note and from the first to last word, everything was written by Sarzi himself in order to show his multiple influences. After MIDNITE SUNs split up, Enrico immediately started working in order to resume some old songs that never seen the light before being unsuitable at that time for the style of his old band, and to compose some new stuff as well. In the end he came up with eleven songs ten in English and one in Italian language. Afterwards, he brought in some of his old MIDNITE SUN musicians, like guitarist Cristiano Vicini, drummer Alessandro Mori MITCH MALLOY, LIONVILLE, and bassist Marco Sappa Nicoli NIGHTGLOW, here also involved as producer of the album. Even though it was a solo record, the arrangements of the songs were made as a real and full band work. If you have some or any recollection of Sarzis previous band, you know his chosen genre is classic melodic hard rock with the typical 8. AORish feeling, especially for refrains and keyboards. Thats the context for Sarzis songwriting, vocals, and the songs of Drive Through. And theres some variety to be found among his compositions. Sarzi strikes a heavier tone with Shameless, The Repentant, Let Me Go, and Sex Perfume. All four are marked by sharp guitar riffs, a deep bottom end and, often, a plodding, lumbering pace. With Shameless that might pass for a blues groove with Let Me Go, the pace can quicken in parts. All include impressive solos, and strong arrangements. And of course, on the album theres also a more melodious side. With Afraid To Be Myself, Sarzi develops a lighter tone to his arrangements. Adding his acoustic guitar to his melodic rock creates a pleasing AOR temperament to the piece. The same could be said for title track Drive Through which begins with Sarzis voice over piano, before rising into heavy rock later in the second half. Despite the incendiary name, Inferno is another light ballad like song, again with Sarzi joined by acoustic guitar. The song rises slowly with his vocal presence leading until the riffs get pitched and a quick, killer electric guitar solo arrives. Similar to this is Nothing To Live For where, again, the focus is Sarzis voice to lead the songs melody with acoustic guitar and piano making light but generous appearances. Yet, with little doubt, the best song here is Strange Freedom. Sarzis familiar use of voice over guitar and keyboards begins the song, and then builds lightly and leisurely through the vocal arrangement to reach the focal point a sweet saxophone solo from Stefano Avanzi. S. O. S. To God is yet another interesting moment out of this debut. A mid tempo rocker that features a nice groove and, of course, Sarzis soulful vocals in front row. Overall, Drive Through is strong release by an artist that puts heart soul in every single moment here and creates a soulful debut that will be appreciated by any rock fan out there. Theres hard rockers, ballads and mid paced melodic rockers. Sarzi is a good, experienced songwriter in this matter, his vocals are passionate with an AOR tone, and all is wrapped by a fine production. Two thumbs up. 0. Diy External Flash Softbox.
