After much success with his 2006 debut, âExtraordinaryâ, Mike Previtiâs 2008 follow up âLightsâ, is a sophomore effort that cannot be denied.
Produced by Anthony J Resta (Collective Soul, Duran Duran, Elton John, Shawn Mullins), âLightsâ is a collection of songs about strength, hope and spirit that make you believe from the first note, that Previti is an artist at the top of his game, ready to take the world stage. âIâve been waiting to do a record like this for a long timeâ, Previti says. âThese six songs encapsulate all that Iâm about at this point in my life, and also show my ability to write a strong song, and give it depth, whatever type of song I writeâ.
Depth in his writing and professionalism as an artist is what allowed Previti to team up with producer Resta, who was blown away with Previtiâs songwriting abilities from the start. Previtiâs professionalism and determination also led to Collective Souls Ryan Hoyle, tracking drums for five of the six songs on âLightsâ.
âNow the plan is to get out there and play liveâ, Previti, says. âPlaying live is so much a part of who I amâ. Previtiâs energetic live shows are a big part of the equation as to who Mike Previti is as an artist. âGiving these songs to an audience in a live setting is such a different dynamic, almost spiritual at points. I think itâs important to have that part of the experience as wellâ.
Songs of life, hope and everything in between, we are clued in on Previtiâs outlook on the world to bring us a fresh perspective and a distinct sound that will grab anyoneâs attention. Conviction, drive and heart are the backbone of this true artist, who is ready to standout, to be seen and to be heard.
