Rinaldi Sings is the stage name used by Steve Rinaldi, a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose orchestrated pop music prompted the ''New Musical Express'' to describe him in 2004 as a "cocksure 20th Century Scott Walker".〔NME, 4 September 2004〕 == Background == Originally from Haverhill, Suffolk, Steve Rinaldi was formerly a trombonist with cult indie mod band The Moment. After the demise of the group, Rinaldi continued to work with The Moment’s guitarist Adrian Holder in a succession of bands. He eventually wrote half of the material and briefly took over as the band’s vocalist before leaving to focus on Rinaldi Sings, his first solo project, produced in collaboration with music journalist Chris Hunt. Going into the recording studio with Ian Shaw and Paul Bevoir, both former producers of The Moment, Rinaldi set out to make an album of orchestrated pop music, reminiscent of the late nineteen-sixties bubblegum soul of such artists as Love Affair and The Foundations. The first single from the album, a cover version of Tony Christie’s "Avenues And Alleyways", was released by Tangerine Records on 10 May 2004. The album, ''What's It All About?'', was finally released on 21 February 2005, and was described by British newspaper the ''Daily Mail'' as an album "of time travel pop () oozes with fab Sixties kitsch and wouldn't have sounded out of place in a Carnaby Street boutique". Several of the album's songs were inspired by films, including "A Matter of Life and Death". "Come Fly With Me" was released as a single on 14 March 2005. After touring with his six-piece band throughout 2005, Steve Rinaldi spent much of 2006 writing material for his second album, ''Bingo''. Co-produced by Steve Rinaldi and Paul Bultitude, ''Bingo'' was released on 4 August 2008. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rinaldi Sings」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
