![]() JEFF SCOTT SOTO Complicated ![]() By George Dionne, Podcaster Friday, May 13, 2022 @ 12:09 AM ![]()
“Last to Know” kicks things off with fervor and energy. Guitarist Fabrizio Sgattoni is simply on fire with his lightning quick guitar soloing. “Disbelieving” is full of funky grooves and rhythms. The chorus delivers strong multi-part harmonies. “Home Again” is very reminiscent of the Melodic Rock powerhouse TALISMAN that Soto fronted from 1989-2019.
Soto slows things down with the touching acoustic ballad “Until I See You Again”. The piano work adds extra emotion and Jeff pours his heart out with melodic grace and power. “Complicated” and “Don’t Look Back” recall memories of JEFF SCOTT SOTO’s 2004 Melodic Rock classic Lost in The Translation.
Soto kicks the energy into overdrive on “New Horizon”, but slows things back down on “Thank You”. The album closes with the synth-heavy, ‘80s AOR feel of “Obsession”.
Complicated is essentially a JEFF SCOTT SOTO ‘best of’ album with all new material. All of Soto’s diversity, experimentation, and melodic familiarity over the last 40+ years culminates here.
