Every journey starts from inside, and only by allowing yourself to explore your inner world, you will manage to express and share your true forces.

“Forces” is Claudio Jr De Rosa’s second recording and follows the success obtained by the debut album “Groovin’ Up!”. Inspired by the aforementioned quote, De Rosa undertakes a personal musical journey and draws 9 new pieces, outlining and exploring new concepts and sonorities that bring novelty in a stylistic and in a compositional way. Besides “Living Forces”, which is the musical interpretation of the quote, there are numerous compositions inspired by personal events, (“Forever Young”, “The T. Basement”, “The Jazz Bike”) that have led De Rosa to dig into his inner world in order to convey a broad array of emotions through his musical understanding. Other compositions, like “4 Days”, “O.M. The Old One”, “The Promise”, constitute are a true research of new sonorities, evolving from the sound and the mood created by the group in the past years. Pianist Xavi Torres, bassist Mauro Cottone, and drummer Augustas Baronas participate to this musical journey. Everyone adds his own sensitiveness to De Rosa’s musical landscapes.

If “Groovin’ Up!” was a fresh and energetic statement, in “Forces” De Rosa has a deeper, more thoughtful, always joyful approach to his musical journey, and relies on a broader spectrum of experiences, emotions, and hopes for the future.
