As soon as I hit Play, top-notch musicianship hits me and also a mellow vibe that instantly draws me in. You are getting strong vocals on this record and just a powerful performance as I would say Lorenzo, Jeff and the rest of the team are all in and all the way there! “You’re Not There” is an excellent production and I thoroughly enjoyed the instrumentation and in particular the sax playing. This single is jam-packed with spirit and this feeling is infectious toward the listener.
I am highly impressed with this composition from Lorenzo Gabanizza, Jeff Christie and all the rest of the world class players. I can’t wait to hear more from both Lorenzo and Jeff now after taking in this gold star number. In my book, “You’re Not There” is a smash Hit and all musicians and music industry professionals involved with the making of this single should be very proud of their fine efforts. I’ll end by urging Lorenzo Gabanizza and Jeff Christie to keep writing and keep performing and as Lionel Ritchie so famously said: “Let the music play on (play on, play on, play on…”)!
