ROMEO BLUE "SOUL FLOWERS"... when a singer from San Francisco meets with French musicians....
As a trio based in France, It's been now almost a decade that we're performing intensively on the European live scene (mostly in France, Switzerland and the U.K.), building a solid reputation as
"crowd movers", in the hot music spots.
"We wanted this album to reflect a heart-felt celebration of Love and Music. The City by the bay meets Paris, The Alps, and Beyond...
Universal themes such as Love & relationships, joys & pains, life and introspection, are familliar to us all, regardless of origin, color or age .
As a multi-cultural band, these are our foundations, and the basic elements that we refer to on this record."
Driving funky bass-lines, or soulfull bottom tones, syncopated guitar licks & slick riffs ... All of these elements give "Soul Flowers" the rhythmic old school smooth, that will move you.
Add in original vocal harmonies, and a soulful voice, and you'll get some body-fluid nu soul grooves.
As you listen, discover for yourself the colors that these flowers inspire ...

Sumptuous offering from the hot French export, Romeo Blue
author: V.StrangeRomeo Blue, a mainstay on the European concert circuit has finally dropped their long-waited first album, Soul Flowers. From the first funky notes of "Magic Potion" to the reprise of "None Above You" , the listener is taken on a ride, full of heartfelt lyrics and intricate harmonies by lead singer, Dorien Lamar, an American soulster who started his musical life as a keyboardist, the melodic and ever-evolving guitar and keyboard soundscapes of François Rivollet, who studied under the great Ronnie Jordan here in the States, and the solid and funky bass work of newcomer to the fold, Arnaud Morin, who's contributions interlock and compliment with both melody and rhythm. Stand out tracks include "Living the moment", with its creamy moog-like synth moments, and highflying lyrical optimism. "The Role"; the best song Steely Dan never recorded, a fusion of soul and heady jazz-rock. The introspective and atmospheric "Foolish Pride" in which the lyricist compares his ego to a giant who ".battles him everyday", keeping the songs protaganist from getting emotionally closer to Lady Love. The songs "Never Surrender" and this reviewers personal favorite, "Sacrifice" stand as archetypes for the Romeo Blue sound: Ever blossoming chord structures, excellent musicianship that supports and punctuates the songs peaks and valleys, and beautiful words and harmonies that take you to vistas familiar and unknown. So stop, take a deep breath and inhale this audio-aroma therapy, Soul Flowers. V.Strange
