The Glow is the debut album of the singer and composer Laura Taglialatela, which comes out on April 6, 2018 for the American label Ropeadope, which in recent years has sponsored some of the most active and innovative artists on the world scene (Terrace Martin, Christian Scott, Snarky Puppy).

"The Glow", in Italian "il bagliore", is the inspiration, the divine entity of which the artist eats and is constantly researching. The concept on which the works contained in the album are chosen and constructed is the representation of an artist in the process of self-recognition, self-acceptance and self-definition, through the effort of confrontation with reality.

Each trace, therefore, represents a state of the artist's emotional journey in the controversial relationship with his art: love, devotion, fear, resignation, realization, enthusiasm, and even desperation, joy.

In this panorama, in which the aim of each track is the clear expression of a concept through music in parallel with the texts, there are no gender limits that hold. Taglialatela

Switch from original rhapsodies (Happiness, Silly Girl) to songs, which reveal strong influences of soul and gospel (Take Me Back, The Glow). There is no shortage of songs in which the jazz matrix on which the album develops is openly revealed, such as "Frantasy" by Francesco Ciniglio, and "There's That Smile" by Dayna Stephens, to which Taglialatela has affixed the lyrics, and tributes to figures of reference and, in fact, inspiration for the artistic path of the singer: "Nefertiti", a double tribute to the author Wayne Shorter and to what the character of the queen of ancient Egypt represents for the female universe, and two tracks (Inutil Paisagem, Retrato Em Branco and Preto) by the Brazilian author Antonio Carlos Jobim.

Taglialatela surrounds himself in this first album as the leader of a respectable team: Domenico Sanna on piano and rhodes, Matteo Bortone on double bass, Francesco Ciniglio on drums, Dayna Stephens on tenor saxophone and onewi, Logan Richardson on alto saxophone.

The band includes musicians from different cultural and musical backgrounds (and geographic!), Which thanks to personal affinity combine without inhibition in a single sound, new, different, unanimous and sincere: all improvisations, even if guided by a leader , they are collective, and the roles intersect to the point that sometimes even the voice becomes an instrument of accompaniment.
