Jovan Pavlovic - Life On Accordion (2022) [Hi-Res]

With Life on Accordion, Norwegian Jovan Pavlovic makes an emphatically strong case for the viability of his instrument as an expressive vehicle capable of sustaining interest when presented without accompaniment. The eleven compact settings feature accordion only, yet they in no way suffer when their timbral range is so rich. Pavlovic also enhances engagement by emphasizing song-like forms rather than, say, drones or ambient meditations, and bolsters the recording's appeal by augmenting ten originals with a refreshing treatment of Sting's “Every Breath You Take.” The album, in other words, is about as accessible as a solo accordion recording could be, yet it doesn't pander nor lack for integrity.
