MomoUnharmed [album]
“The
Momo experience:
It’s set to change your
perception of music!”
UNIQUE IT IS, WITH SOARING VOICES and imaginative performances. A tantalising
mix of electronica, pop and classic music that tugs at the heartstrings, Unharmed
is amazingly matured for a debut album from Momo — a diverse assembly of
gifted singers whose signature sound has been compared to the best mix of Hans
Zimmer, Craig Armstrong, Moby, Massive Attack, Air and Nitin Sawhney.
Haunting strains of undulating chords lure you deeper into the tracks as you
lose yourself in the magic of harmonising voices and instrum-ents. Unbelievable
vocals leave you breathless and notes are drawn out so perfectly that you are
lulled into a floating sensation of well-being.
Momo is the brainchild of hot Spanish talent Toni Castells and features the
voices of jazz singer Gracie Patton, triple-Platinum selling Spanish pop star
Beth, Kiwi soprano Amelia Whiteman, and Irish singer-song-writer (and former
Sharon Osbourne protégé) Roberta Howett.
The Publicity Machine says: "Once in a generation an artist stands out so clearly
as a star of the future, and Tony Castells is that artist. With his individual
production, lyrical vocals and sonic vision, Toni provides his audience with
a unique and stunning musical experience."
Classically trained as a guitarist from the age of five, at just 13 Tony Castells
won the prestigious III Young Composers Award. With a strong passion for popular
music, he was driven to form his first band — Herzia — at twelve.
Their debut album received unanimous critical acclaim in 1999. It was not long
before Toni was carving out his career in popular music by producing and engineering
multi-platinum international artists at hit-making Musician Studios.
After moving to London in 2000, Toni started working with various
UK-based acts, furthering his influences and skills in production at
the Royal College of Music. He worked alongside such great artistes
as Placido Domingo and pop legend Jose Maria Cano.
