As a musician, Italy-based composer and guitarist, Riccardo Cantarelli is not really afraid to show the world the good and the bad side of him—he’s human and imperfect, just like everyone else. With decades of experience, his music is one that is tapped directly from the source, and specifically designed to evoke an emotional response from anyone and everyone who appreciates the dynamics of music to take them to different realms. His impressive discography is symbolic of the evolution of Riccardo Cantarelli’s personality brand. His music showcases a deeper side of ethereal goodness, tapping into the fierce, unapologetic, bold side of his artistry and reflecting the beauty and turmoil of his mental state, otherwise reflected in society as it is.
Riccardo is back, and he returns with a solemn masterpiece in a sombre mood, reflecting its deep inspiration about the homicide of an unknown singer and the need for society to rediscover tolerance in order to move forward and curtail the insatiable violence that has crippled it.
The gentle wails of the electro-acoustic guitar set a solemn tone as Riccardo underscores the track’s poignancy with his dark and sombre lyrics, taking the listener on a journey inspired by our main character, who meets an untimely death.
His guitar waves a tapestry of emotions, capturing the essence of folk and classical nostalgia as well as the sad reality of the story behind its inspiration.
With this performance, Riccardo explores the intricate dance between impatience and tolerance, delivering harmonies that resonate with the melancholic poetry of these seemingly timeless melodies.
If you love yourself a good old folk, classical-styled, and country ballad with a hauntingly beautiful melody and sad lyrics, “Killed for Less (Electro-Acoustic Guitar Version)” is sure to quench your thirst and leave you musically hydrated.
