{"product_id":"soyuz_if-you-asktenorio_2024_lba","title":"If You Ask\/Tenorio","description":"We proudly present \"If You Ask\", a brand new ecstatic pop production with a 70s AOR touch, by the ever-relevant group SOYUZ. Released in the period between two albums, the single features guest appearances from the sensational musicians Biel Basile (O Terno, Sessa) and Anthony Ferraro (Toro Y Moi, Astronauts, Etc.). Friends of the band, they add their signature touch on drums and synth respectively. To complete the package, SOYUZ backs the title track with a short but sweet number, laden with Wurlitzer and tinged with MPB, \"Tenorio\". \"If You Ask\" tells the story of lost dreams. A track that can be interpreted either as a bittersweet nostalgia for childhood, or as a memory of a native place one cannot return to. For author Alex Chumak, he suggests: \"In my case, as in the case of many Belarusians, it's both.\" For this song, Alex chose to sing in his native language, Belarusian. One of the main inspirations was the Belarusian band (\"Pesniary\"), which produced a multitude of great progressive folk, jazz fusion, and AOR tracks, from the 70s to the 90s, mostly sung in Belarusian. Another key influence was the music from the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais in the 70s, drawing from the sentimental and harmonious music of Beto Guedes, Lô Borges, Fernando Oly, and Wagner Tiso.","brand":"Soyuz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57469676683608,"sku":null,"price":20241129.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/5024017006287.jpg?v=1780872247","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/soyuz_if-you-asktenorio_2024_lba","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
