Released July 8th, the collaborative album offers unwavering positivity and faultless musical prowess. Humility is key though, a quality known in Valentino’s performance style and indeed his like-ability in the studio.

Bringing more than two decades of experience to the stage, the Texas creative is naturally one of the nation’s go-to when it comes to needing a top quality saxophonist. The raw emotion and skill combined in his playing connects for its complexity and heart in equal doses.

Promising retro Funk flavors alongside Jazz licks, RnB vocals, lo-fi grooves and warm, aptly organic presentations, the new album ‘Analog Future’ stands tall on the strength of intention, melody and overall vibe.

‘Freshman Boogie’ kicks things off on a high, meandering with true creative freedom in everything from instrumentation to production and overall structure.

Elsewhere the genre-fusing album lets mood and momentum take the wheel. Breathy vocals and soulful sentiments elevate an alluring ‘Prototype’, and the likes of ‘Sunset Dreams’ and ‘Don’t You Worry ‘bout a Thing’ mix things up further still, delivering a clear and colorful representation of the scenes and ideas implied by their titles.

Drawing focus to an artist at the top of his game, ‘Analog Future’ carves out a fresh pathway in modern music, and promises to boost the mood and inspire possibility and oneness in the same instance. The conceptual presence of the collection makes for a refreshingly distinct yet timeless sound, gifting listeners an unrivaled, uplifting journey, and a fine realm of escapism all at once.
