Review by Dan Lynch

Siboney Valencia by Mario Lanza: A Vocal Pop Gem That’s Kinda Hard to Forget Alright, let’s get one thing straight—when you hear “Mario Lanza,” you don’t exactly think Belgium. Like, at all. But here we are with Siboney Valencia, a little slice of vocal pop heaven released under Disel S.A., and guess what? It’s got more charm than your uncle’s questionable dance moves at a wedding. Conductor Ray Sinatra (yep, related to that Sinatra family) brings his A-game, making this album sound like it was recorded in some dreamy European cathedral instead of… well, wherever they actually did it. Now, onto the tracks. There are only two songs on this baby—“Valencia” and “Siboney.” Yeah, not exactly an epic playlist, but sometimes less is more, right? Let’s break ‘em down. First up, “Valencia.” Oh man, this track hits different. From the first note, you’re transported to somewhere sunny and romantic, even if you’re just sitting in your pajamas eating cereal. The orchestration feels lush without being over-the-top, kinda like wearing a velvet jacket that fits perfectly. And Mario? Dude belts out those high notes like he’s auditioning for the heavens themselves. You can almost picture him standing on a balcony serenading someone who definitely doesn’t deserve him. Honestly, I remember this song because it’s impossible not to hum along after hearing it once. It sticks to your brain like gum on a hot sidewalk. Then there’s “Siboney,” which leans into that sultry Latin vibe so hard you might need a fan. This tune has a timeless quality about it—it’s the kind of melody that could make a cactus cry. Again, Lanza’s voice takes center stage, smooth as butter melting on warm toast. What makes “Siboney” stick with me isn’t just how pretty it sounds; it’s the way it builds. By the end, you’re practically ready to grab a partner and waltz around the room, knocking over furniture in the process. Who knew two minutes and change could pack such emotional punch? So yeah, Siboney Valencia may be short and sweet, but it packs a wallop. Sure, calling it “pop” feels a bit generous since it’s basically classical crossover vibes, but hey, genres are just suggestions anyway, right? If you’re into music that feels both nostalgic and fresh, give this one a spin. Just maybe don’t listen while operating heavy machinery—you might get too distracted dreaming about moonlit nights and dramatic declarations of love. Final thought? Listening to this album made me realize something weird: if Mario Lanza were alive today, he’d probably crush it on TikTok. Can you imagine him going viral for hitting impossibly high notes while sipping espresso? Now THAT would be content worth subscribing to.
