Pop poet/crooner Ray Davis has someone to rely on. Pete Molinari, folk singer, soul musician, blues soul and unrepentant heart of rock'n'roll, is ready to be rediscovered by all those who still doubt the existence of poetry in pop. An alchemist of emotions, this Englishman born in Chatham into an Italian-Egyptian family, possesses an impeccable artistic capacity, defined by lucidity and eclecticism in the composition of songs as well as by sobriety and complacency in the performance. Indefinite by definition, his music goes beyond the limits of convention to delve into areas that are not very grateful for simplicity and make proposals in which everything happens in real time with no room for the lagging listener who seeks condescension where there is none. Molinari is an alternative artist, he's a poet without rhyme, a songwriter of risky words and reflective chords who seeks the complicity of the listener in songs of neo-retro acidity with the will to crush any malicious deja-vu hesitation. He's a modern artist, at the forefront of contemporary roots music, a scientist of relativized sounds  by the impatience and immediacy that surrounds him. His sixth album "Wondrous Afternoon", released through the Italian label Blind Faith Records has been recorded in Rome with the production of Luca Sapio, leader of the Italian Royal Family band that backed him in the studio, and is a main work in the contemporary soul repertoire, a necessary and concise album to continue feeding the desire and restlessness of those who seek emotions and enthusiasm that are sometimes difficult to find.
