Alessandro Lippis - Chi sta bene dimentica
Rock
S. Antonino, Switzerland
Overall Impression: Managing to balance moments of reflective calmness and interludes of biting ferocity with great success, "Chi sta bene dimentica" is a deeply melodic and strongly arranged blend of hard-rock and metal styles that melds hard-hitting riffs, great lead guitar work, and solid lyric writing to provide a brilliantly hook ridden piece of songwriting. Alessandro Lippis clearly has a deep and passionate understanding of the genre, and being a fan of this style myself, it's clear to see that this is an artist that takes his craft seriously.
Strongest Point(s): Opening with a brilliantly atmospheric clean guitar arpeggio motif, Alessandro does an excellent job of quickly establishing the general mood of the track before unexpectedly grabbing the listeners with a strikingly bombastic drum and rhythm guitar combo that is both wonderfully heavy and terrifically gritty in nature. There is a definite catchiness to the tracks many diverse riffs and melodic hooks and this certainly helps make for one particularly strong arrangement, the way in which both the rhythmic and melodic elements of the track are working in perfect tandem with one another to ensure the arrangement feels both organic and free-flowing is excellent and it's clear Alessandro has spent considerable time in this area, the result is a track that is to the point and more importantly, cohesive in its execution.
Target Audience Appeal: This is definitely a tune for the hard rock and metal lovers out there.
Artist target suggestions: Five Finger Death Punch, Stone Sour, Disturbed, Godsmack, Breed 77, All That Remains, Times Of Grace, Still Remains, Killswitch Engage
