Our Take

Get your umbrellas ready, because Mark Soskin's latest release, "Ballad For A Rainy Afternoon", is a deluge of emotive piano melodies that will make you feel like you're floating in a puddle of feelings.

Soskin, with his years of experience as a jazz pianist, manages to create a sonic downpour that is both comforting and melancholic. Each note is like a raindrop gently tapping on your window, lulling you into a state of introspection.

The album opens with "Stormy Weather", a fittingly titled track that sets the tone for the rest of the journey. Soskin's delicate touch on the keys is reminiscent of a soft drizzle turning into a torrential downpour, washing over you with its emotional depth.

As the album progresses, tracks like "Raindance" and "Singing in the Rain" showcase Soskin's versatility as a pianist. His ability to switch between playful and poignant melodies is truly awe-inspiring.

Overall, "Ballad For A Rainy Afternoon" is a masterful display of musical storytelling. Soskin's intricate compositions will have you dancing in the rain one moment and seeking shelter from the storm the next. So grab your headphones, brew a cup of tea, and let the music wash over you like a gentle rain on a dreary afternoon. Trust me, you'll thank me later.
