Expect a lot of power piano, funky guitar riffs and some utterly seductive saxophones in this beautiful mess created by a Jazz genius and an award-winning producer.

On a first flick through the tracks for this fourth album, Peter Cincotti is defiantly heading for a mainstream audience. The 23 year old who has the backing of Parkinson since his latest performance on his show boasts a real eclectic mix of jazz, blues, soul and anything in between.

If you haven’t heard of him before it’s because the majority of his success has been over in America and on the underground Jazz movements. Teaming up with Grammy Award winner and infamous producer David Foster, the latest album could upset a few traditional followers.

It’s marginally lost some of what he shot to fame for but at the same time it’s showing his versatility towards making his style a more prominent one in the regular charts. He’s not lost his roots but he’s offering his work in more pop-friendly ways.

All the tracks ooze the feel of where he grew up, New York. Angel Town really sets the mood for the sexy and seducing tracks that are set to follow. It’s got a gorgeous piano build up with a really funky hit of guitar creeping in and out in the background and an edgy chorus with lyrics like: “things are looking up so don’t look down”.

Cinderella Town is one of the best tracks displaying Cincotti’s vocal range and shows real emotion in his voice. His vocal abilities might at first seem a bit out of place on some tracks but it takes a couple of listens to get into it.

This album has had a contemporary production and there are hints of a Buble style, probably encouraged from Foster, although it’s less scatty than his other works its still showing his individual style and his ability to adapt.

If you’re new to Jazz, this should be right up your street. But if you’re a die-hard Cincotti fan then take this as a new direction for his music. It definitely deserves a listen.
