Un plauso per la compilation VIBE, con tracce soul e r&b, ideata da Massimo Oldani: finalmente un po’ di buona musica Black proposta in un panorama italiano monotono e piatto.
L’ho ascoltata e la selezione delle tracce mi è piaciuta, non solo per la qualità e la scelta in se stessa dei vari brani, ma anche perché la selezione denota che Oldani “b[L]ack on radio” non ha voluto cadere nei cliché legati al business e ai diktat delle major.
Per questo la voglio segnalare nel mio sito.
