PREORDER: Release date 1.05.10
Juan Pablo Mazzola, the singer/songwriter behind Baby Scream, got his idea for the title of their latest CD “Identity Theft” following a very traumatic period of his life during 2008/2009 when, he says, “I felt some people wanted to take a lot of things away from my life”.
The tracks on the CD reflect his deep emotion and were mainly inspired by personal experiences during that time. Unlike their previous album “Ups and Downs” which was much more pop orientated the lyrics of the songs on this album have a deeper, darker side. Juan worked with Muddy Stardust on five of the songs, having worked with him on two tracks on “Ups and Downs” – “The Riots” and “Morning Light” The CD opens with a track titled “Be”, a short intro song about liberty and freedom.
It is followed by the emotive “Dead Woman Walking”, about the despair of a woman who doesn’t want to live anymore. Juan added his own English lyrics to the sixth track “Ojos Orientales”, written by Rinaldo Rafanelli, whom he describes as “a great Argentinian composer”.
The music on the CD was influenced and inspired, in Juan’s own words “ by traditional rock and roll from the 70’s era, like early Paul McCartney solo stuff and of course John Lennon’s lost summer days (there is a reference to this in the last track, a song called “Mucho Mungo/Mt. Elga” from the Pussycats L.P. that Lennon and Harry Nilsson did together)”.
The CD cover continues this theme with artwork and text evoking a 70’s image, by Argentinian artist Laura Zóccola. Juan’s vocals which have been likened to John Lennon and Marc Bolan, have a plaintiff cry to them which works perfectly with the emotions captured by his evocative lyrics, resulting in a CD which consists of deep feelings in beautiful songs.
