Luca Stricagnoli has made a career out of performing famous songs using his fingerstyle acoustic guitar technique. This ability allows him to play all the parts of a song by himself, resulting in unbelievable and technically outrageous renditions.
This time, he turns his considerable talents to the work of Phil Collins, incredibly taking on three different parts to recreate ‘Another Day in Paradise,’ one of the most beloved songs from Collins’s extensive music career.
Stricagnoli plays the lead vocals, background accompaniment, even rhythm – all with his guitar. It is mind-blowing to watch him move so effortlessly through the parts, often playing them all simultaneously.
As a result, listeners are treated to a lush, rich, musical soundscape that captures the essence of the Phil Collins original song while creating something entirely new in the process. It uses the original as inspiration but develops an incredible new sound.
This version is not only about technical precision and hitting all the right notes, however. It is clear that Stricagnoli is putting his entire heart and soul into the arrangement, feeling the notes deeply.
Stricagnoli is well known around the world for his jaw-dropping fingerstyle technique. The renditions that he creates are seemingly impossible at first glance, yet he manages to create songs that are not only brilliant but moving as well.
For any fans of Stricagnoli, this will be another welcome addition to his long list of famous song covers. And for anyone arriving at Stricagnoli’s work for the first time – you are in for a wonderful experience.
