Italo disco on Riviera Ventura’s debut 45 ‘Monotono’ / ‘Con Te’
Riviera Ventura is a young Italian band that blends organic disco, modern R&B, old school funk and soulful electronic vibes into a distinctive and captivating sound with a positive and uplifting vibe, often with a deep connection to the tradition of Italian singer-songwriters, but reimagined for the 21st century with sharp and often sarcastic undertones.
“Monotono” / “Con Te” is their debut 45 on Mocambo Records and is sure to put them on the map as an up & coming band to look out for!
A-side’s “Monotono” was released digitally in May and is slice of sun-drenched italo disco with a contemporary edge. Phat drums and bass are topped with ethereal synth echoes and singer Cecilia Preste’s soulful Italian vocals and lyrical wit.
On the flip, “Con Te” is another disco tune with endless summer vibes and a touch of melancholy. Cecilia‘s sultry vocals and the band’s dreamy groove transport you right into a hot summer night with all its drama and pleasures.
