We are very happy to announce Chris Leyva upcoming release “Noise Hotel”.
The album (which will be available worldwide in streaming and digital download on January 22, 2016) made is debut in Los Angeles, California, on October 9, 2015, which would have also marked the 75th birthday of Beatle John Lennon. The influence that the Beatles has on Leyva’s sound makes a prominent stance in the album. “Noise Hotel” brings you through a state of nostalgia and leaves you in a satisfied stage of lust; with the catchy Beatles-like melodies throughout the album and just a touch of rock n roll.
We start out with “Nobody Warned Me” a song that is exactly what the title implies. It’s simple and pleasant adding a sense of peace found from turmoil of a bad relationship, the strings blend together the rock and pop elements of the song making for a steady, moving vibe symbolizing the willingness to continue moving forward. The albums moves along with tunes like “Built for Loving You” in which Leyva adds pop vocals on top of the organ using reverb to give it that authentic late 60’s rock n roll sound. The song addresses love in a passionate way. The drums give it a swing feel and the vibrato of the organ makes for a psychedelic groove. The album comes to an end with “So Lonely” a personal favorite, this one goes out to all the rockers out there. This extremely dark sexy tone reveals the grim desire. His raspy vocals and the steady palm muted guitar playing power chords between takes you on a trip to longing.
With this album Leyva really captures the catchy pop styling of McCartney while staying true to his rock roots. Noise Hotel is the perfect album to reconnect with your inner rock and roll again.
The album will be released on RMN Music main catalogue and will be available in streaming and digital download worldwide on January 22 2016.
