British singer-songwriter Jack Savoretti can't count on approval from the press. Even in the Netherlands, his music is often dismissed as kitsch. OOR even invited their sharpest reviewer to write a sharp and creative review of Savoretti's seventh album Europiana. Whether the successful Brit will lose any sleep over this is debatable. Following his previous album Singing To Strangers (2019), Europiana… again effortlessly reached number one in the UK charts. Savoretti's days as an acoustic folk artist are far behind him and on Europiana he mainly plays around with euro-disco, white soul and smooth rock. He was assisted in this by not the least of people: Nile Rodgers and John Oates. Both know what an 80s production should sound like, namely polished and synthetic. Savoretti seems to possess a button with which he can add a grain to his warm voice in order to lash out in exalted choruses. This makes him reminiscent of Michael Bolton. Stylistically and in terms of content, Europiana is completely finished, like a passionate retro album. (MRmore
