As VOICES, the debut album from Riccardo Eberspacher, opens, listeners are greeted with the sounds of “Maria” – a song denoted by lush strings and cello harmonies. Following this, the Italian producer/composer starts to mix things up, incorporating jazz elements, trippy downtempo beats, synthesized atmospheres and sweet vocals. VOICES is reminiscent of Ibiza’s “Café del Mar” sound, with its mellow, sunrise-on-the-beach quality. Everything from lapping ocean waves to frequent guitar strumming to the meandering beats calls to mind picturesque beaches where travelers chill after a night of high-energy entertainment.
