Editorial Reviews

Smooth Jazz Vibes

"On this CD, Belasco’s feathery falsetto is what the CD’ s all about and every vocal track is hit-worthy..."

Product Description

Billboard Magazine kicked off 2004 with a cover story on re-emergence of the soul music movement, noting that new artists are makeing their presence felt.

Enter Pete Belasco with Deeper

Lush and seductive, Deeper plumbs the retro-feel of classic, sexy R&B grooves while staying contemporary.

Fans of Belasco are slavishly devoted to Get It Together, his 1997 debut album. Get It Together was described by Jazziz as "brilliant R&B, blues and jazz fusion" and by Hits as containing "slow R&B grooves (that) promise to seduce you into a bed not made since Marvin Gaye's 'Let's Get It On'."

Deeper has already sparked interest in the UK, where the album reach the #1 position on Jazz FM.

Pete Belasco's Deeper is poised to make its mark: sensual, silky music that just begs to lead the Soul Music movement.

4.0 out of 5 stars Seclusion & Seduction, October 4, 2004

This review is from: Deeper (Audio CD)

Rutgers' grad Pete Belasco was in a boating accident that broke both of his hands and caused him to focus on writing and vocal development that resulted in his superb first disc "Get It Together." That set 7 years ago boasted four of my favorites, "All I Want," "All in My Mind," "Love Train" & "Dirty Deed." "Deeper" does move a bit deeper into seclusion and seduction. Belasco has a way of making the most private and intimate feelings musical. If there's a flaw in this disc, it's a bit more variety in tempos and melody as a certain sameness seems to set in. However, that is small complaint as this is a richly textured work. From the first track, "Hurry Hurry" where Belasco's sax melts like butter on the warm smooth surface of love, "Havin' a ball baby," he sings. The title track oozes charm with Belasco's high-pitched vocals weaving a sexy spell. "No, no, relax, lie back, I'm all for you," Pete croons on the ultra-sexy "I'll Come to You." "Crazy" boasts a beautiful melody on this instrumental that grows in its lush beauty -- a standout track. The CD concludes with two shorter tracks. "Zoe," his daughter, is a haunting and reflective melody. "People Ask Me" is the closest to the energy of his first CD. This second set by Pete Belasco is all the sweeter after 7 years! For those just encountering him through this disc, you will want his earlier one too. This set shows growth and variety and is lovely and sweet. Enjoy!

One of the most beautiful smooth records of the last 5 years. I wonder what Verve Records will think of this new cd...Pete Belasco is xtra cool. I never write reviews but this cd just got to my heart and SOUL!!! Tonight put aside the Jazz Messengers and the MJQ and invite your baby to have dinner with you and Mr Belasco.
