“Room for Joy” came out January 27, 2024. Nine tracks, all written and recorded in New York City.
I didn’t go into this one trying to make a statement. I went in trying to be honest — about where I’ve been, what I’ve learned, and what the blues actually means to me after twenty years of playing it. The result is the most personal record I’ve made.
The title track embodies the core message of the album—finding light and happiness in the darkest times. It is a testament to the transformative power of music, blending the raw emotion of blues with a contemporary flair that appeals to a broad audience.
Featuring collaborations with notable artists like Etienne Stadwijk on keyboards and vocals, Clint de Ganon and Shawn Pelton on drums, and Simone Pannozzo, the album adds a diverse flavor to Davide’s already rich musical style. These collaborations bring different musical influences into the mix, enriching the album’s sound palette.
In celebration of “Room for Joy,” Davide plans a series of live performances across the US and Europe, providing fans a chance to experience the emotive power of modern blues live. These performances are set to feature tracks from the new album, promising engaging and powerful shows that resonate with the soulful essence of blues.
The album will be available on all major streaming platforms from its release date. Fans can follow Davide on Instagram for more updates and behind-the-scenes content from the album’s creation.
