The impeccable textures of this Tafkatno fascinate from the first listening for the suggestive mood they are imbued with, confirming the goodness of a truly convincing project.
Released in 2021, Tafkatno followed Live your life from 2018, an album that Michael Kratz (vocals and songwriting), former drummer of Kandis, had published for our local Art of Melodic Music.
The fruitful collaboration also marks the step of the Dane’s latest effort, once again imbued with AOR, hard and West Coast, a brilliant result recorded together with a series of thick musicians, imbued with pop melodies set in a rock context with a radio.
The care for the arrangement and a certain compositional taste emerge in songs such as Without your love and You’re the one, but it is as a whole that Kratz’s talent emerges in giving a certain pathos to his compositions, also thanks to the various lines ups that follow one another along the 50 minutes of the album, played wonderfully well by elements perfectly placed in the context in which Michael moves.
