The third album from expert musician, uncompromising songwriter and virtuoso producer Bruno Major, Columbo is his defining statement to date. A musician who wears his heart (and art) on his sleeve, this is the sound of an artist who risked it all and somehow made it back to shore, with twelve tracks that weave the autobiographical with the observational and stretch Major s palette into new forms, as accomplished as they are honest.
Columbo raises its curtain with “The Show Must Go On,” a piano flourish giving way to a clean, snare-less drum pattern and guitar strum that conjures the cozy fireside intimacy of Neil Young s “Out on the Weekend.” Elsewhere, “Tell Her" is a slice of simmering R&B, while the heart-breaking “Tears in Rain” is dedicated to his late grandmother. “The End” rounds off the album, featuring a soaring solo that recalls perennial influence, Queen, and more pertinently, Brian May.
