Velvet May – Enchanted By The Muse (Digital/Vinyl Album – Veyl)
Velvet May is a Berlin-based solo project led by Italian artist Andrea Davide. This debut album completely took me by surprise. Its style is difficult to pin down, blending a variety of influences into a unique sonic experience. The opening tracks carry a subtle Psychedelic vibe, but the music quickly evolves into a striking fusion of electronic textures and powerful, fuzzy guitar riffs. You’ll also notice traces of Krautrock woven throughout the album. Certain tracks evoke the energy of The Chemical Brothers, particularly in their rhythm and drive. The result is an original and diverse soundscape. The latter half of the album leans more into Electro elements, but the ever-present guitar continues to add depth and intensity. The album features a mix of instrumental tracks and songs with vocals, showcasing Velvet May’s ability to create a masterfully arranged sonic chaos. The music feels raw and unpolished yet deeply original and visionary. This debut is nothing short of a revelation, and I sincerely encourage open-minded music enthusiasts to uncover this gem. (Rating:9).
