Fernando Noronha & Black Soul - Heartful Of Blues

Review by Kevin Barrett

Heartful Of Blues, the latest album from Fernando Noronha & Black Soul, is a mesmerizing collection of blues tracks that showcase the band's exceptional musicianship and soulful vocals. The album features 10 tracks, all of which are original compositions written by Noronha himself.

From the opening track "Blues In My Soul" to the closing track "Gone Too Soon," Heartful Of Blues takes listeners on a journey through the various sub-genres of blues, including Chicago blues, delta blues, and Texas blues. The band's sound is rooted in the blues tradition, but they also incorporate elements of rock, funk, and jazz to create a unique and modern sound.

Noronha's guitar playing is the standout feature of the album, as he effortlessly blends intricate riffs, soulful solos, and emotive slide guitar work. His vocals are equally impressive, with a gritty and powerful delivery that perfectly complements the bluesy instrumentation.

The other members of Black Soul, including bassist Thiago "Big" Rabello, drummer Rafael Cury, and keyboardist/vocalist Rodrigo Mantovani, provide a tight and dynamic rhythm section that keeps the music moving forward.
