{"product_id":"delicate-steve-delicate-steve-sings","title":"Delicate Steve - Delicate Steve Sings","description":"\u003cp\u003eDelicate Steve Sings is a sly title. On this 2024 album, Steve Marion's guitar does the singing, and it has rarely sounded more like a human voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe New Jersey multi-instrumentalist has spent more than a decade making wordless records that are instantly recognisable, while lending his playing to artists as varied as Paul Simon, The Black Keys and Miley Cyrus. Here he sets himself a classic singer's challenge: take songs everyone thinks they know and make them his own, the way the great interpreters do with standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo there are covers, played with real tenderness. The Beatles' \"Yesterday\" becomes a slow, sighing melody line, and Otis Redding's \"These Arms of Mine\" keeps every ounce of its ache without a single word being sung. Alongside them sit originals that sound like long-lost classics, among them \"I'll Be There,\" which glides along like a forgotten Bill Withers groove.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJonathan Rado plays bass, Kosta Galanopoulos handles drums and Renata Zeiguer adds strings, with Elliot Bergman on board as co-writer. The feel is warm and unhurried, every phrase bent and shaped the way a vocalist would sing it, set inside soft-focus arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's an easy record to fall for, and a clever reminder that a guitar can carry a lyric even when nobody sings it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57352637940017,"sku":"045778807413","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Delicate_Steve-Delicate_Steve_Sings.jpg?v=1793990302","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/delicate-steve-delicate-steve-sings","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
