Endlich das neue Studioalbum des legendären Gitarrenvirtuosen - sein erstes seit dem 2005er Album "Reflections" und der zweite Teil der "Real Illusions" Trilogie!
Der virtuose Gitarrist und visionäre Komponist Steve Vai veröffentlicht auf seinem eigenen Label Favored Nations endlich sein neues Studioalbum. Die langen und ausdrucksstarken zwölf Songs des neuen Albums führen eine Reise fort, welche mit dem umjubelten, im Jahr 2005 veröffentlichten Album, "Real Illusions: Reflections" begann.
"Story Of Light" besteht zum Großteil aus Instrumental-Stücken. Auf dem Album wirken jedoch auch die Gastsängerinnen Aimee Mann, welche mit Vai ein Duett auf "No More Amsterdam" zum Besten gibt, und Beverly McClellan, eine Finalisten aus der ersten Staffel der US-Version von "The Voice" mit. McClellan singt auf dem Song "John The Revelator" mit, ein Lied, das von einer alten Aufnahme des Blues-Sängers Blind Willie Johnson inspiriert wurde und dessen Stimme ebenfalls im Mix zu hören ist. Durchgehend ist es die Lead-Gitarre des dreifachen Grammy-Award Gewinners Steve Vai, die melodisch, virtuos und technisch brillant durch das Album führt.
"The Story Of Light" folgt der Reise eines Menschen durch Trauer, Tragik, Offenbarung, Erleuchtung und Erlösung. "Ich bin immer auf der Suche nach Wissen. Ich bin ein Suchender nach spiritueller Ausgeglichenheit - und Musik ist ein großer Teil dieser Suche", so Vai.
Virtuoso guitarist and visionary composer Steve Vai will release The Story of Light, a new solo album of original material. The title comes out on Favored Nations Entertainment, the label Vai founded in 1999. Its sprawling and expressive 12-song set continues a conceptual and cosmic narrative arc begun on the artist’s acclaimed 2005 album Real Illusions: Reflections (also Vai’s most recent solo studio release).
Although The Story of Light is largely instrumental, the album does feature guest vocalists including singer-songwriter Aimee Mann—dueting with Vai on “No More Amsterdam,” which she also co-wrote—and Beverly McClellan, a season one finalist on The Voice. McClellan appears on “John the Revelator,” a track inspired by a vintage recording of blues singer Blind Willie Johnson, whose acid-soaked vocals are in the mix as well. Other highlights include the title track (which opens the album), “Gravity Storm,” “The Moon and I,” and “Velorum.”
Throughout, three-time GRAMMY-winner Vai’s lead guitar is as lyrically resonant as it is technically masterful, his licks and solos bending sounds and in listeners’ minds in equal measure. The Story of Light follows the journey of a man driven mad by grief, intertwining tragedy, revelation, enlightenment, and redemption.
“I’m always pursuing knowledge, I’m a seeker of spiritual equilibrium—and music is a big part of that,” says Vai. “I’ve been obsessed with these kinds of ideas for years.” Looking ahead, Vai envisions a third set of songs that will unravel the mysteries and reveal truths that swirl through both The Story of Light and Real Illusions: Reflections. The completed trilogy, intended to be cinematic—even operatic—in scope, will include lyrics and narration.
The Story of Light is available as of today for online pre-sale orders. This special pre-sale selection of bundled packages is offered exclusively through Vai’s website, www. Vai. com, where complete details on the products and ordering information are available. Each package includes an instant download of a track from the new album personally selected by Vai, “Gravity Storm.”
Following up the 2009 live album Where The Wild Things Are, The Story of Light, is Vai’s 16th solo effort. Featured on the new album: Dave Weiner (guitar), Jeremy Colson (drums), Philip Bynoe (bass), and Deborah Hensen (harp, vocals, keyboards).
