CLOUDCHORD, “Alegria”
For those of you who like their dance music on the chill but sexy and romantic side, then Austin-based producer and guitarist Cloudchord will satisfy that craving with “Alegria”. Using the Brazilian bossa nova style as its basis, the sound of “Alegria” is charming and lo-fi, and goes down easy like the smoothest of brandies or cognacs. The Emmy-winning Cloudchord also dazzles us with his pristine guitar work which shines the most in the latter part of the song. “Alegria” follows up Cloudchord’s 2016 album Imprint and some subsequent collaborative EP’s with Oatmello and the Soul Food Horns. It’s jazzy and funky and you can’t go wrong with an instrumental that packs such diversity into its three minutes.
