Shiny Glide is the musical alter ego of multi-instrumentalist, producer, songwriter, and poet Antony Venneri. He is as eclectic as they get, with a style that defies genre conventions and stretches the boundaries of creative imagination. What you get is a captivating sonic concoction that spans psychedelic rock, alternative and bedroom pop, classical, blues, electronica, and others, backed by his own unmistakable voice that makes the music sound even more intriguing.
Listening to an album like “Soave” deepens your appreciation for the power of good music. Shiny Glide employs a DIY approach that ensures your entertainment, creating a lasting impression even after the music fades away. A 12-song collection lasting 54 minutes and 26 seconds, this album epitomizes authentic music.
The title track “Soave” is a personal favorite. It is sweet, soft, engaging, and pleasant, with a gentle yet expressive tone. Shiny Glide offers a listener a serene and soothing auditory experience with his smooth melodies, mellow rhythms, and calming, unmistakable vocals. His poetic delivery over the rhythmic foundation evokes a sense of elegance and refinement, captivating listeners and inviting them to immerse themselves in its soothing ambiance. For me, immersing yourself in the music and relishing rare moments of quiet reflection while sipping a glass of wine is the ideal way to unwind after a long day.
“Moonchildren” features a gently struck guitar that sets a mellow tone for the song as Shiny Glide’s sweet-sounding and distinct vocals breathe life over the ear-worming instrumental foundation that ensues. He comes off as dreamy and hits all the right spots with his delivery. Listening to this tune feels like floating on the moon—fulfilling and transporting. Literally, this is music to your ears…how about that?
“Shy Girl” resonates with a memorable appeal thanks to how amazing it has been delivered. This song is why it is such a great idea to stream this album in its entirety; otherwise, you wouldn’t get to experience such magic. The lyrics, “She’s my shy girl,” will keep playing in your head long after the final notes fade away. The whistles at the later stages add elegance, color, and crystal clear polish to the track.
The patient build-up of the song “My Little Fox” makes a listener more intrigued by the song. The beats are hauntingly beautiful and provide the perfect backdrop for Shiny Glide’s brilliant singing. The warmth of his vocals is equally matched by the mellowness of the production, leaving a lasting impression on the listener. And in case he’s wondering, he’s already our friend, and we can see!
Well, there is so much more to enjoy from this album, including the special tunes, “Magic Waters,” “Dreams,” “June’s Blues,” and “Sweet Monday Serenade.”
This is the kind of music that makes you think about authenticity in newer ways; ways that are essentially about the power of music to make you feel understood.
