Lead single “Del Mar (Nera and Felix)” and “Heading For The Sunrise (Feat. Annette Berg; Steen Thottrup)” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. Now signed to Cafe Del Mar’s EMI Records, the title track from second album “Ibiza-Volumen 13″ leads Cafe Del Mar’s back-to-school campaign. Self-described as Electronic with lots of words, Cafe Del Mar comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. Lots of variety between tracks. My favorite is Heading For The Sunrise (Feat. Annette Berg; Steen Thottrup)
Music of Heading For The Sunrise (Feat. Annette Berg; Steen Thottrup) is gentle, never overbearing. In No Talking (La Caina) you won’t find any flashy solos. Shiva (Feat. Elsieanne; One Mind) - This one is lively and fun. The beautiful sound of this track makes you want to close your eyes and sway away with the music. Mister Mista (Kitty The Bill) is almost impossible to review. Music and lyrics of Set Me Free (Gary B) creates, for me, fertile ground for daydreaming. Cafe Del Mar sings Angel Eyes (Rue Du Soleil) in such a comforting, confident voice that you can’t help but be moved. Cositas De La Vida (Helena) is a very good song maybe surprisingly better than you at first might’ve imagined. I believe Voice (Singas Project) is one of the most amazing, heartfelt songs ever written. Lamento (Melibea) - To me, this is the best song on the Ibiza-Volumen 13. Strong percussion and poignant lyrics of this track really gets under your skin. Song Cause I Love You No More (Alster Lounge Chill Out Vocal Mix; E-love) is actually a funny song. Hablo Del Amor (Feat. Fuego; Yann Kuhlmann) is nothing but pure genius. The Meaning Of Love (Feat. Julie Harrington; Mads Arp) is just simply stunning. I like to sing along with Panonia (Slaven Kolak), though I mess up the lyrics sometimes. Flores De Libertad (Paco Fernandez) is a marvelous song and it grows on you. Some call So Awesome (Roberto Sol) from Ibiza-Volumen 13 as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen. Pure Joy (Dab) is the astounding blend of moody yet optimistic tunes. Sympathy (Feat. Alexandra; Jeff Bennet) is the albums biggest surprise. Although Cinnabar Mix (Ivan Tukacov) is very melodic it is far from sad. Once Let You In (Feat. Julie Harrington; Luminous) gets in your head, it will NEVER leave. Vai Vedere (Feat. Antonio Martinez. El Nn; Pep Llado) to me is the best you can get from Cafe Del Mar. Beautiful (Triangle Sun) is a great song to contemplate the modern music and what it really is all about. Os Pastores Da Noitte (Gelka) motivates you to get up and do something to improve your life and the life of others. The sound in One Mississippi (Chris Coco Mix; Negrita) is really warm and Cafe Del Mar’s signature voice is still very much present. Monikas Summer (Future Loop Foundation) is one of the best records ever. Tu Despertar (Original Chill Mix; Feat. Scar Portugues; Victor De La Fuente) is worth the money. Capricorn (Alejandro De Pinedo) is a song that takes you on the journey before it reaches the conclusion. Rivers Flow (Feat.Glow; Viggo) is a great opener for Ibiza-Volumen 13.
