Luke De-Sciscio – Song Review

Luke De-Sciscio is a highly talented singer/songwriter from the South West.  Fresh faced and obviously very enthusiastic about his music Luke has an evocative voice.  His music fails to be pigeon-holed into any one category, which is a refreshing change in today’s society.  His vocals are delicate, charming and quite angelic.  They have a wonderful power and easily switch between a haunting, raw organic acoustic sound and an angst ridden rocky style.  His guitar playing is quite brilliant.  Never overdone the music he creates is atmospheric and also at times very understated. 

Patterns of Revolution is a beautiful song; here Luke’s vocals are angelic yet blended with stronger punchy lines that convey the heavier side of the lyrics.  The chorus is gentle yet the lyrics are meaningful and poignant.  This song has a dreamy quality about it.  Throughout the song you feel like you are being transported on a musical journey.  The guitar playing is sublime and a joy to listen to.  This is an exquisite song that showcases Luke’s amazing vocals as well as his wonderful guitar playing.  Fused together this song is perfect!

Love Your Mother is a slow song with a great organic sound.  Luke’s vocals build throughout the song, not to a big crescendo but to a moderately rousing finale.  Instrumentation is stripped back on this song yet builds at the all important times creating drama and emotion in the song. 

As I Sit Here Aging is another lovely example of how music and vocals can work in harmony to create a dramatic passion filled sound.  Luke’s vocals are powerful and full of zeal.  This song has a little more pop infused into its organic sound however it still sounds unique. 

I Am Done is slightly more up-tempo than most of Luke’s other songs.  Luke’s vocals are angst ridden on this vocally driven track.  With injections of rock Luke proves his vocals are really up to belting out a powerful number. 

For The Road showcases Luke’s mesmerizing vocals.  Luke’s vocals need to be heard to be really appreciated.  This is a strong vocally driven song.  Luke’s transitions from angelic high pitched vocals to angst ridden lines are seamless. 

Boston is definitely an angst ridden song with powerful vocals.  Strong lyrics belted out with gruff vocals give this song purpose.  Here Luke proves how dynamic his vocal style is.  Quite a change from his other songs this is evidence of how versatile Luke can be in his musical styles.

I Don’t Hold You Anymore highlights Luke’s striking vocals once again.  Luke’s soft, charismatic sound is a pure joy to listen to.  Always sounding refreshing and captivating.  This song puts Luke’s vocals before the instrumentation.  Something he does on most of his numbers, always allowing his vocals to take centre stage.

Working Title is another song that allows Luke’s vocal range to shine and shine it certainly does.  This is another example of Luke at his best.  A lovely slow song with beautiful lyrics. 

Listening to Luke’s music is exhausting as you find yourself wrapped up in the lyrics of the songs as well as being fully engaged in the vocals, which are at times beyond belief.  An outstandingly talented young man, Luke’s skills as a singer and a songwriter can only grow and grow.  As a musician Luke is extremely talented.  Luke’s slower songs are perhaps his best as they convey more emotion and perhaps offer up a little more of Luke’s soul.
