A Song for You

Released

The second album from Italian group Rainbow Team is a set of hi-gloss early Italo-disco, featuring Philadelphia MFSB-style orchestration and a band-played brand of disco that has a real live, organic feel. There are plenty of sweet-soul chord changes, lightweight soul vocals and little jazzy trumpet licks tucked in the mix and minimal electronic instrumentation compared to the synth-heavy, futuristic sound that Italo would become in just a few years. A Song For You is a slinky, soul-flavoured Italo-disco album from the early days of the genre, possessing a unique allure all of its own and worthy of a revisit.
