Product Description

Amazon.ca

Former Montrealler Gino Vannelli has the same je-ne-sais-quoi that Neil Diamond possesses; a surreal state of hipness among the older set, combined with a slick and grandiose stage presence that borders on Broadway-style theatre, and a list of songs you just can't forget. Vannelli's string of '70s and '80s hits are undeniably catchy, a mix of punchy rock, jazz, and even classical elements run through radio faves that include "Black Cars (Look Better in the Shade)," "Wild Horses," "Hurts to Be in Love," "People Gotta Move"... the list goes on and on. When asked to put together a best-of collection, Vannelli picked up a guitar he hadn't touched in years with hopes of including a new song or two to spice up the disc. Happily, the result was seven new tracks that have subtle jazz and flamenco influences. "The Great Divide" could easily be the theme song of the next Michael Flatley dance production, while the disc opener, "It's Only Love," wouldn't sound out of place on a Rufus Wainwright CD. At the same time, Vannelli's old classics--still radio mainstays to this day--hold up surprisingly well. Much like Steely Dan's music, this pop-meets-jazz sound wasn't especially timely back in the day, but it's also never out-of-date. --Denise Sheppard


Album Description

Seven of Gino Vannelli'S timeless classics are included on his new album, "These Are The Days," alongside seven new pop hits in the making. In 2006 Gino Vannelli remains one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary pop music. While the new songs represent a return to pop, they do not merely mimic Vannelli’s prior efforts in this genre. Gone are the synth dominated arrangements of old. In their place, Vannelli uses primary instruments such as piano, organ, upright bass, drums, and a little bit of acoustic guitar; all in a way that remains incredibly groove-oriented and funky.

5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC RETURN, Aug 7 2007
By K. Peters "music freak!" (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I had to chime in here - after being a long time Gino fan, I had nearly "given up" on the idea of hearing any new music - pop music - from him anytime soon. I am soooo freakin' pleased to say that the wait is over.

This is FANTASTIC Gino - and that voice just doesnt change. The small nuances of Gino's incredible voice are still there, and as a singer myself, I am continuing to be amazed at his phrasing and range.

His writing has just gotten better & better & now it seems that the mature Gino has truly reaffirmed his place in pop music with the fantastic new songs on this CD. I can't wait for the next one!

Standout cuts: "It's Only Love", "Eastwest World", "Venus Envy".... but there's not a clinker or hint of filler in any of the new tunes.

Highly recommended if you love Gino's voice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gino Vannelli creates a big hit : VENUS ENVY !!!!, April 6 2006
By A Customer
Yes, again Gino Vannelli is the Master of Music with His new album THESE ARE THE DAYS !!! WHAT A VOICE !!! WHAT A GIFT !!! WHAT A STATEMENTS !!! MY, OH MY, we can also write : surprising, amazing, beautiful, Vannelli quality but more important this music, lyrics and VOICE brings up emotions, over and over again, deep emotions and truths... Truths nobody really talks about or dares to talk about and also humour which makes us smile and laugh out loud. Gino Vannelli's music is emotions like crying, thinking, dancing, laughing, being touched and being surprised and Gino Vannelli's music and voice makes you go into a happy state or even a sad state, it does not matter what or how but your heart, body and soul have to react on music and GINO VANNELLI's music DOES that always over and over again !!! What can we say more...... ????

And to the disappointed people : We cannot understand you because 7 new GINO VANNELLI songs is already a great gift for which you pay a few Dollars compared to the work and time Gino Vannelli and His Family have to live through to get into the different languages in pop style music to feed the ears of the BIG music businesses..... and to satisfy all people involved is a big and very difficult process. Does this make sense ??? We really do not care we only want to say : GINO VANNELLI is the Master of Music and His divine voice is the BEST on this planet and people who were at a Gino Vannelli live concert will agree with us completely !!! 15 GINO VANNELLI albums for 15 different moods and 15 different states of minds and 15 different time periods and all the 15 GINO VANNELLI albums are timeless and can be played forever....... And remember Gino writes His own music, lyrics and does everything himself also the technical stuff and He does not cover like the rest of the world.

Even when there is only one song on a CD and we mean a GINO VANNELLI song, we will buy the original cd because we want to
support GINO VANNELLI'S life work, an unique singer with a super unique voice !!!!

VENUS ENVY is such a song which makes you think but also makes you laugh when you see those fake plastic ladies on tv !!! SUPERB musical work of art but also lyrical !!!

For us it is nice, very nice to enjoy the new songs and after the 7 new we flow over to the 7 old songs and feel very at home in the Gino Vannelli music-heaven !!!

THE SONG : THESE ARE THE DAYS is soooooo very beautiful and breath-taking and Gino's voice really throws out the right emotions... We apologize for our English/American writing because it's very difficult to express ourselves in a different language !!! But this is the best we can...

And to this SCANdISC from usa in the review somewhere beneath us : First go back to school and learn how to write, you use a nickname because you do not dare to write your real name and we understand that because you cannot write very well and how can you say something about music when you, yourself cannot write ??? We have a good excuse for our bad writing because it's not our own language But, you know, even bad reviews are good for GINO VANNELI's music because they make people curious to know where you are talking about and they all start buying GINO VANNELLI'S cd's so in a way we have to be thankful to you, and one more thing : you bought the original new Gino Vannelli cd !!! WOW !!! But we have this feeling that Gino did not create these 14 musical works of art on THESE ARE THE DAYS for your ears but for the people who really listen to music, GOOD MUSIC !!! GINO VANNELLI'S MUSIC !!!

And you did not hear about Gino for years ??? Hahahaha see our Gino Vannelli web pages and have a look for instance at the projects !!! We think you were not interested !!! So it's your problem.

We thank Gino, Patricia and Anton deep from our hearts for the gifts they share with us........ Barend and Trees in Holland, the Netherlands who recommend this new Gino Vannelli album to all music lovers on this planet...
