Now ‘Views’ sees Ayala heading deep within, into his primary loves, Afrobeat and African funk, evolving a warm and organic sound, irresistible to the ear, soul, and body. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e ‘Views’ opens proceedings with the Afrobeat funk of “Caravan”, which as Ayala remarks, “highlights the value of organic improvisation combined with groove”. However, Ayala's Italian sensibility comes into play on “Adrian”. For Ayala, this song feels like “an intrusion of African grooves into Italy's obscure 70s disco”, offering a “feeling like smoking cigarettes and drinking champagne in a nightclub in Rome”. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e It’s not all floor-filling bangers on ‘View’. The deeper side of the album is best exemplified in “Fuse”. A fullbodied slow groover, the steady Afrobeat rhythm, and bassline are complimented by laidback horns and synths. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In this, his first full-length, Ayala doesn’t disappoint as he looks deep within to create a new vision, fusing his musical passions and roots with an underground Italian club sensibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACKLISTING\u003cbr\u003e A1.
