“It’s in Your Heart”, the retro feel album from The Mario Cantin Project, will hook you with the sweet sounds of 70s Rock while amazing you with a modern sound. Slick guitar solos, catchy beats and intricate and playful guitar riffs await the listener. It’s in Your Heart is a bit of a mix of Pop and Rock, with the emphasis on Rock, especially the song “It’s In Your Heart”.
The album’s namesake, “It’s in Your Heart”, is a much more modern Rock type song than anything else on the album. It’s much heavier and edgier than any other song, and heavily relies on the vocals. And in this song, the vocals are fantastic. Another song that has some strong modern Rock sounds is “Jam in E Minor”. It just so happens that that song also has some of the most enthralling guitar solos of the entire album which will put you on the edge of your seat.
Most of the songs on The Mario Cantin Project’s album, It’s in Your Heart, don’t have lyrics, as the songs are more of a “reflection” as he puts it, like the songs “Early 70s Reflection” and “Greener Pastures”. It’s simply some straight up guitar Rock with a strong drum beat with a massive amount of expert guitar-work and brilliant composition.
There are a lot of influences that shine through in this album. There are some rather distinct Jazzy overtones, some Latin influence, Pop influences, and obviously a hefty dose of Rock. At times I even felt like there were bits and pieces of Carlos Santana. “O Rodeio” sounded very much like a Pink Floyd type intro, as it had the simple clean guitar. The similarities ended there, however, as the song took on a more Latin type sound after that.
The Mario Cantin Project’s album, It’s in Your Heart, is definitely something you should be listening to and sharing with your friends. The amount of raw talent and passion in this album are undeniable. Be sure to check out all the links below to get all the info you can on The Mario Cantin Project.
