Sessa – Köln Sessions

This one snuck out last week, but it’s more than worth diving back into the stacks to get better acquainted with Sessa. Following on his excellent 2022 album Estrela Acesa, the artist unveils an EP that was recorded in 2021 with a collection of studio heads in Cologne, Germany. The EP culls cuts from across his catalog, reimagining them as instrumental jazz landscapes that strip away Sessa’s vocal duties and instead let him focus on the guitar as his main outlet. The EP recasts the pieces into lush studio arrangements that come on like crushed velvet. A welcome addition to Sessa’s catalog, the release reveals an alternate universe path for his songwriting that’s just as deeply felt as his vocal works. Köln Sessions is out now from Mexican Summer.
