Chasing Legends: Introducing Lionel Rizzi

January 9, 2015

In the age of one-hit wonders, youtube sensations and drug-fueled mega-drops, it’s rare that an ALBUM is released.  Not just a collection of singles, not one radio friendly sugar bomb, but a single composition intended to move the listener and evoke an everlasting love affair.  If you are searching for that journey, then allow me to introduce you to your captain.  Lionel Rizzi, the producer/dj/sax man, has been making serious waves in the industry and looks to continue to do so into 2015 and beyond.

‘Warm Thoughts’ Released on Black Friday features a collection of music produced and mixed by Lionel.  It features collaborations with everyone from indie star James Blake to hip hop legend Jay-Z.  A spirit of hope can be heard through vibrant hits such as ‘One Day’ and ‘Jubel.’  And soulful, radio ready hits’Come and Get Your Love’ and ‘Easy’ will have you toe-tapping and spinning smiles every time.

Recommended Pairings: Enjoy ‘Warm Thoughts’ with a cozy cocktail.  Try this concoction I’ve aptly named ‘Winter Bliss.’

1.  Mix

2.  Top with whipped cream and crumbled peppermint candy

Enjoy!  And be on the lookout for Lionel’s sophomore release ‘chillin me softly’
