STORIE DI GATTI, DI EMOZIONI E DI MATTI  (STORIES OF CATS, EMOTIONS AND MADNESS)

Steve D'Apano

"Stories of Cats, Emotions and Madness" is a 9-track album that’s intense, visionary, and irresistibly funky. A musical journey blending nu soul, jazz-funk, Latin jazz, urban poetry, and sharp irony. Nine songs designed to move your body and light up your mind — where cats, emotions, and mad souls reflect through dreams, the chaos of modern life, and the cracks of the soul.

Leading the way is Miles, a black cat with golden eyes and a golden trumpet — a nocturnal spirit who blows melodies through imaginary clubs and inner visions. Alongside him are surreal, poetic characters: magnetic women, emotional sleepwalkers, lost souls caught in the noise of the world, or in the sweetness of a feline nose on a pillow.

The lyrics, both powerful and intimate, move from the soulful lightness of "Feeling Good", to the fierce, lucid critique of "The Crazy World", to the suspended dreamlike tones of "Still Dreamin’" and "Horizons", and the dusky poetry of "Un Nuovo Giorno". The journey ends with the playful, liberating samba "Minha Gata É Maluca", and the elegant jazz-rumba "Raccontare Il Mio Sogno". Everything is driven by infectious grooves, razor-sharp horns, and hypnotic rhythms in pure James Brown style — like in "Cats", but also with touches of refined Nu Jazz and emotional Latin Jazz.

This is music for those who aren’t afraid to feel, think, and dance — maybe to do all three at once.
