During his extensive musical career, the NY-based keyboardist has explored everything from R&B and Jazz to Latin and Gospel music. He has performed and recorded with numerous artists in the New York area including Grammy -award winners to members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Mike’s first album debuted in 2006 and was well received in the smooth jazz market, featuring on the 2-time Emmy Awarded Daytime Reality Show “Starting Over”. In 2011 Mike’s 2nd release reached #12 on Jazz Week’s Smooth Album Chart and #9 on the Smooth Singles Chart with his version of “Can’t Hide Love”.
Mike’s latest album is co-written with contemporary R&B artist Anna Moore, whose sultry vocal styling can be heard on the title track “What We Need”, along with world-class pop singer and media sensation Sonna Rele. Multi-Grammy Award-winning artist Joel Kibble of the vocal group also sings a stellar rendition of the timeless classic “Time After Time”. The album also features exceptional contributions from vocalists Denise Stewart, CaiNo along with Frank Elmo on saxophone.
Soothing and soulful vocals direct with an emotional intent and multiple layers of delicacy on Mike Di Lorenzo’s and Anna Moore’s uniquely written works, the self-aware soulful single What We Need will make you feel deeply attuned to the narrative of this track.
The clatter of the beat and the conflicting tap of the soulful “What We Need” builds a vastly attainable soulful mood from the start, with a quite nostalgic vibe.
Weave in these deep verses, passionately and cleanly blended, and things will gradually but steadily shift towards totally fresh realms.
What We Need introduces skillfully meandering R&B vocal harmonies in a way that feels acquainted yet also indicative of musicians ready to pave their own way, with a likable beat that injects a level of weight and easily recognizable styling into the track.
Beautifully crafted, with a beautifully flowy-form melody than most songs, fusing that soulful RnB meander with a more soulful comforting structure for something that essentially delivers the best of both worlds with “What We Need.”
Here at Modern Soulful Music, supporting artists is our #1 priority, we kindly ask you to check out Mike Di Lorenzo.
