Happy New Year my friends, well we made it out of 2024, ruptured and ravaged by the year’s menace and mayhem, and I’d like to celebrate this new start with my friend Mike Milan Dedic. I’m a little late with this and I do apologise but the last couple of months I was at my paid job and also extremely busy covering various gigs and events.
Press play and you immediately get a vibrancy, a freshness, full of life and lustre.
Listening further I feel this would sit pretty well as a TV theme tune, it has the same buoyancy and feel good factor that you expect from such recordings. Mike is a seasoned instrumentalist, he is proficient in a variety of areas, with this release we see him playing each instrument, with drum programming duties in the hands of Josh Pearson.
The song reminds me of Yngwie Malmsteen and his guitar playing, it has the same adaptability and skilful aspect that makes it all look so easy. As with all instrumental pieces, this track affords the listener time to indulge and create a world of their own.
As we all step into the New Year, we can only wish it is full of more hope and less fear. Mike Milan Dedic is an artist you can rely on to brighten your day, the torch that lights the way, at a time when our days are darker than most.
Happy New Year my friends, wish you all the best for 2025 and beyond!
