For those unaware, Midnight Sun is the much-anticipated new release from Billboard Magazine Critics’ Choice artist Bryan Lubeck.

Weaving Bryan’s signature Spanish guitar sound with pop, funk, and urban influences, Midnight Sun’s 11-track collection (out August 27th, 2021 via Vineyard Music) delivers immersive, front-to-back listening pleasure.

Indeed, collaborations with guitarist Felton Offard (Hamilton), saxophonist Nick Bisesi (Ramsey Lewis “Urban Knight”), and a live strings section create an authentic and emotive music experience.

1. Invincible
2. Rocket Fuel
3. Sara Smile
4. Come Dance
5. Road To Mackinac
6. If You Only Knew
7. Midnight Sun
8. Sun Dress
9. Till I’m Found
10. Alex Arrives
11. Adirondack

Opening on the rhythmically easy-going Invincible and the foot-tapping, guitar-enriched melodies of Rocket Fuel, next up is a simply magical rendition of Hall & Oates’ Sara Smile, which is backed by the more forthright Come Dance, the heavenly, Chris Rea-esque build of Road To Mackinac and then some translucent rhythmic visions are brought forth within If You Only Knew.

The pleasurable jaunt of the title track itself Midnight Sun is itself followed by the laid back, summers breeze of Sun Dress, then comes the gently countrified fare of Till I’m Found, with the album rounding out on the clemently funky Alex Arrives, coming to a close on the atmospherically-imbibed Adirondack.
