Raul Midon presents us his latest album « Lost & Found «
The sensational New Mexico-born singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Raul Midón returns with a new album, Lost & Found, due on 27th September via ReKondite Records.
His thirteenth album in a solo career that stretches back 25 years to 1999, Midón produced the Lost & Found and engineered it, a considerable feat considering the 58-year-old has been blind since infancy. Midón’s trusted sidemen, keyboardist Federico Pena, bassist Richard Hammond, and drummer Andres Forero offer sterling musical support throughout.
Though Midón has described his sound as “smooth folk,” Lost & Found offers an eclectic and uncategorisable blend of jazz, soul, pop, and Latin music flavours. Its highlights are plentiful, ranging from the rousing title song and the breezy soul-jazz groove of ‘Keep On Keeping On’ to the intense, guitar-driven ‘Next Time.’ There are also mid-tempo message songs (the atmospheric ‘Ocean Of Doubt’), percussion-powered Latin-tinged grooves (‘Anything At All’), and potent examples of nostalgic storytelling (the Jimmy Webb-style ‘When We Remember’ with its Bob Dylan-esque harmonica). All in all, it’s a stunning showcase of Midón’s extraordinary talent.
