Pop, Pop-Rock, Jazzy
Madrid, Spain
Overall Impression: Utterly smooth, suave, and sophisticated, "Cumpliendo Condena" is a fantastic foray into the ultra-cool world of jazz that flaunts refined melodic themes, compelling harmonic movements, and a truly outstanding lead vocal performance that captures the classy nature of the genre superbly. Dinarés is obviously well versed in the world of jazz and "Cumpliendo Condena" is a wonderful display of his devoted passion for the genre and its endless possibilities. This is a brilliant piece of songwriting and the track's many nuances have been lovingly captured in an excellent recording that acts as a perfect showcase for Dinarés and his abilities as both a writer and performer.
Strongest Point(s): The lead vocal performance is excellent, Dinarés gives it his all and has a vocal quality that is so easy to engage with as a listener, he makes it seem effortless and as a result, we get a performance that feels both organic and stylistically fitting. The lyrics are equally strong and have a very definite human quality to them that audiences will find very easy to connect with, and when paired with Dinarés's highly expressive vocal style, it's a match made in heaven. Accolades must also be given to every performer that accompanies Dinarés, every musician involved is really on top form and the musicality on display is exquisite, from the terrific walking bass lines that underlay the track to the dazzling virtuosic harmonica lines that are interspersed throughout, there is a level of sophistication in both the performances and the music they are expressing that is continually alluring.
Target Audience Appeal: This is definitely a tune for the jazz lovers out there.
