bobby oroza: this love
Francisco Espregueira
The anticipated debut album from Bobby Oroza dropped last week. This Love is appropriately named after the tune that started it all, back in 2016 when Oroza and the Cold Diamond & Mink production duo first got together in the studio. From Helsinki, their hometown, the full length will reach wider audiences. The original approach to the sound mixes an array of influences, due to the multicultural upbringing of the main man.
Driving a vintage car through the borders of soul and rock balladry, Bobby Oroza creates a sound distinctly his own. Cold Diamond & Mink provide the perfect complement, maintaining the band’s signature dark and intimate aesthetic. On twelve tracks, This Love runs smoothly. Breaking hearts on some tunes and mending them on others. Released by Big Crown Records, the album is available on vinyl.
