The Listenable Music of Mellow Neil

Neil Lucchetta, known simply as Neil, is an Italian singer songwriter. I’ve no idea where in Italy he’s from, not that it really matters. What does matter is his music which is mellowly melancholic in a listenable kind of way.

I guess they only way you can find out how listenable Neil’s music is, is to, well, listen to it.

What follows are a couple of videos of Neil doing his musical thing. His influences are Nick Drake and Elliott Smith, amongst others.

Neil, from what I’ve heard, sings in English which should make his music is more approachable to international audiences. It might even help him get a recording contract or two.

Here are a couple of Neil’s, eminently listenable, tracks.

Amalfi by Alfa Romeo

I dug this up on Youtube, and quite liked it. It’s a video documentary with a presenter who finds chaotic Naples, dirty, grimy and vibrant.
