Greg Laswell - Three Flights from Alto Nido
- Greg Laswell, who has recently gained recognition due to “What a Day” from his How the Day Sounds album being featured in Grey’s Anatomy, presents Three Flights from Alto Nido as the follow up album that reflects his musical potential.
With rich vocals and excellent instrumentation, Three Flights from Alto Nido is an album worth listening to; it is diverse in its moods and is, without a doubt, capable of being emotionally evocative. It’s surprising that Laswell has not been recognized by the general listening audience as his talent is something that should not go overlooked.
Three Flights from Alto Nido is, for all intents and purposes, chock full of hits. What makes Laswell’s album stand out is his reinforcement of the melody, either through it being echoed in other instruments or through the use of background vocals. By opening Three Flights from Alto Nido with mellow tracks showcasing his talented vocals and band members, Laswell creates an album that is a hit.
Though his style is reminiscent of singers like Chris Martin of Coldplay and John Mayer, Laswell’s sound is unique; what makes him really excel and overtake the limelight is his instrumentation. His piano techniques and his use of xylophone give his album an almost ethereal sound. With outstanding vocals and consistently strong tracks, Three Flights from Alto Nido is a brilliant album and with Laswell’s recent recognition will, hopefully, get the attention it deserves.
