Although February 14 has come and gone, one track with a distinctly Valentine vibe is ‘Lovers Melody’ from New Zealand bred and based multi instrumentalist Ryan La Valette.
It is taken from his 2022 Trippin’ N Rhythm debut recording ‘New Beginnings’ for which he enlisted the help of three of the genre’s top producers and keyboard players, Nicholas Cole, Greg Manning and Chris “Big Dog” Davis. With ‘New Beginnings’ Ryan’s aim was to showcase his prowess both as a songwriter and performer on guitar, bass and saxophone. He did that and more with another song from the album, ‘Closer To You’, cool collaboration with Davis and now, in the company of Nicholas Cole, he is using ‘Lovers Melody’ to reveal another side of his musical persona.
