Italian singer/songwriter Daniele Silvestri has been producing whimsical melodies with intricate instrumentation since the mid-'90s. Injecting wry humour into socio-political commentary, his compositions make their way through a myriad of influences: Italo-disco, funk, jazz and even flamenco. Early albums were replete with Spanish guitars—peppered with winsome strings and concertina—while later work turned to R&B with heavier beats and smouldering vocals. Since the 2010s, Silvestri has blended his masterful musicianship and captivating storytelling, deftly manoeuvring his ardent, brassy voice.
