Marcelo Maccagnan Releases “Long Ago” featuring Danielle Cormier

The multi-instrumentalist’s new single will be released on October 27th, 2023.

NEW YORK, NY, USA, October 17, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — Fusing progressive rock with odd meters, folk and ethereal vocals, multi-instrumentalist Marcelo Maccagnan presents his latest single, “Long Ago,” on October 27th. From Brazil, currently based in New York City, the artist brings this song to life from his home studio, recording and producing all instruments, with exception of lead vocals and drums. Marcelo takes inspiration from an array of artists such as Radiohead, Bon Iver, Porcupine Tree and Massive Attack.

His previous releases have been deeply focused on his Bass and Jazz background. His last album “Night Tales,” was a distinctive creation, highlighting the musician ability as a virtuoso bassist, while a very strong composer.

This self-titled “Progressive Folk Rock” is perhaps representative of an idea where the composer maintains folk guitar elements as the main motif, while exploring more electric and modern sounds within the production, including odd meters.

But whilst the music embraces this melting pot of styles, it never loses sight of one of its central pillars: the voice. The artist is joined by incredible singer Danielle Cormier. Her voice adds the perfect ethereal layer, in which Marcelo further embellishes with his background vocals, as he does his debut as a singer.

This release brings a whole new era on Marcelo’s career and foretells a new artist to come, with music much more focused on voice and guitar, while keeping the artist past experiences as a Bassist and Jazz player.

Bringing together various styles into one cohesive whole, “Long Ago” offers a fresh take on progressive music, with a unique twist on the time feel.
