Step by step but with a firm determination, Itziar Yagüe is gradually consolidating herself as one of the voices with the greater personalities of national blues scene. Her voice has very delicate nuances, but she also knows how to communicate the necessary energy and strength to sing the blues and other similar styles.
This is the second album she publishes and, although it only gathers six songs, three of them own compositions and the rest coming from Greg Izor who also plays guitar and harmonica in two songs and produces the album, these few songs are enough to let listeners appreciate the variety of styles she can sing, all them with the common denominator of the good taste and elegance Yagüe is able to cleverly administrate.
Besides her wrapping voice that shows her own personality, the recording presents a band of excellent musicians like the just mentioned Greg Izor on guitar, harmonica and vocals, Raúl Platz on bass and double bass, Paul San Martín on piano and Hammond, Dani Domínguez on drums and percussion and the special collaboration of César Crespo and André Oedipus on guitars and Lola Gabaldón on clarinet.
The clever album production will make listeners feel carried to beautiful sound universes, full of an attractive warmth, sensuality and musical quality.
