When you listen to Nicola Denti his guitar tone will take you into a journey on a sea of notes in a glimpse. Day One is his first single from his debut solo album, Egosfera. Let’s find its story below.
I really like the flow of the song structure indeed. The song will be caught your ears smoothly with the well-chosen melody for the track, leading to powerful riffs in the middle. It’s pretty obvious that Denti is a very experienced musician because when you listen to his music you can find how it’s so connected, melodic, harmonic, and thoughtful as well. I just felt that his guitar is talking to me and tell me a story, and that really hit into my mind while I was listening to the solo, actually, I put it on a repeat mode and kept listening to it for like 10 times on a row! Well done, Denti!
