Composer, arranger, and producer Michael Peloso is back with a captivating new full-length offering titled ‘Here From There’, a follow-up to his highly acclaimed 2021 debut album, ‘Life’s Little Accidents’. Demonstrating his exceptional talent and versatility, this project showcases Michael’s collaboration with a range of artists, including Marisa Frantz and Matthew Shell, resulting in nine beautifully arranged gentle rock tracks that are sure to captivate listeners.
Throughout ‘Here From There’, Michael Peloso and his team of talented musicians skillfully convey a wide range of emotions and energies. From the up-beat and infectious tunes of ‘Road Trippin To Heaven’ and ‘Chance Of A Lifetime’ to the more introspective and subdued tracks like ‘That Will Be Me’ and ‘Angels Are Listening’, the album offers a diverse musical experience. The inclusion of strings alongside the standard guitars, drums, and vocals further enhances the depth and richness of these tracks.
Marisa Frantz’s vocal performances on the album deserve special mention. Her consistently bright and pretty delivery adds an element of optimism and hope that permeates the entire album. Listeners will undoubtedly be drawn in by her talent and the uplifting atmosphere she creates.
Exploring the album’s concept, Michael Peloso shares, “The record is actually a story in three chapters, focusing on a relationship that started out wonderfully in the first three songs. However, as we reach the fourth track, titled ‘Where Do You Go?’, we begin to sense a shift in the dynamics of the relationship. One person remains committed while the other seems distant, yet the reason behind this change eludes us. The fifth track, ‘Street of Gold’, delves into the heartache of betrayal and the pain caused by someone who continuously devalues your efforts. However, the latter part of the album marks a turning point, with ‘Rewind’ serving as a moment of reflection, followed by ‘Angels Are Listening’, which embodies the healing process. ‘Ella’s Pink Balloon’, the eighth track, touches upon finding the strength to move forward and liberate oneself from the past. Finally, ‘Better Days Ahead’, the closing song, represents a breakthrough of hope, reassuring us that things will indeed improve and that we will heal from our wounds.”
Michael Peloso’s passion for music and songwriting began at the tender age of fourteen. His love for words and storytelling led him to hone his skills as a melodist and lyricist, eventually becoming the accomplished songwriter he is today. Throughout his career, Michael has demonstrated unwavering determination, knocking on doors and persisting until he received the recognition he deserved.
In ‘Here From There’, Michael Peloso finds fulfillment in inspiring and touching others through his poignant writing.
