VICTOR V. GURBO has provided a new release "A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody"

Regarding music, some rare artists can take old classics and breathe new life into them. VICTOR V. GURBO is one of those artists, and his rendition of the timeless hit "A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody" is nothing short of mesmerizing. He's transformed Irving Berlin's 1919 classic into a haunting, dark journey through time that will leave you enchanted.

The original version of "A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody" was the iconic theme of the 'Ziegfeld Follies,' a legendary Broadway revue that enraptured audiences from 1907 to 1931. Fast forward to 2023, and VICTOR V. GURBO has uncovered the hidden shadows lurking beneath the surface of this well-loved melody.

Through a minor key, VICTOR V. GURBO has managed to create a sense of melancholy and introspection in stark contrast to the traditionally cheerful tune. The addition of multi-instrumentalist Mark Caserta's resonator guitar and bass, along with the ethereal vocals of Kathryn Lewis, adds layers of complexity and depth to this already haunting composition.

But what sets this rendition apart is that it was recorded using repurposed antique radios from Redeemer Electric Labs. Nadeem Gibran Salaam's painstaking work transforming these forgotten radios into amplifiers and microphones injects a vintage authenticity that envelops the listener in a sepia-toned dreamscape. It's a testament to VICTOR V. GURBO's commitment to capturing the essence of the past.

Ultimately, VICTOR V. GURBO's version of "A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody" is a masterful tribute to the classics and a hauntingly beautiful journey through time. It's a powerful reminder that even the most familiar tunes can hold hidden stories and emotions waiting to be explored. So sit back, relax, and let yourself be transported to another time and place by the enduring power of music.
