Already on his debut album "El Dorado" the young multi-talent surprised with his soft voice, which combines all of his songs collaged from various world music sources, with a world-pop spirit that reminds of Paul Simon ("Graceland") as well as Manu Chao ("Clandestino"). With "Dreaming Of Better Days" Gizmo now takes it a step further. More groove, more speed, more dynamics. Let's take the first single "Losing You": It all starts with the Orlando massacre, one of many. Gizmo has written an open letter to the mother of one of the deadly victims of the massacre. From deep empathy. The melody, composed of percussion like weiland with Nina Simone, Mali-guitars and Cuban melodies, does not embody sadness, but pure joie de vivre. It is so infectious that it is difficult to get the line "... the thought of losing you" out of your head. LGBT legend Tom Robinson, flagship of BBC 6, immediately put the song on his hot list. Losing You" appears on spotify insider playlists as well as in various blogs of the Hype Machine and Trendgazetten such as Clash Magazine. But this is only the tip of the iceberg. Heaven could hardly have sent us a happier messenger of the gods to the dance of the apocalypse
