We first shared Italian singer-songwriter Gabriele Catoni’s music at the start of the year – now he’s back with new tune, Heartstone.

By Jane Howkins

Heartstone is a gorgeous singer-songwriter track with more than a hint of Americana and folk music. The first thing apparent is how amazing Gabriele’s vocals are here – they drift through the music in a lovely way, showing a lot of emotion within his amazing range. The music itself is characterised by a strummed acoustic guitar, although there are also occasional guitar and piano motifs that break off to add a little more variety. It’s particularly emotive when Gabriele’s vocals rise up higher towards the end of the piece.
