Press Reviews Nothin' but a 'G' thang: Giasone Italiano crafts pure pop on his own By Jason Schneider (KW Record October 1999)Giasone Italiano: You can call him G.As a rock critic today, there's always a danger in holding current pop music up to the impossibly high standards of, say, Lennon and McCartney. Of course, it won't be as good in some ways, but on the other hand, anyone who merely attempts such a level of songwriting has to be given bonus marks in our increasingly formulaic,image-conscious pop world. Giasone Italiano -- or G as he prefers to be known admits his debut solo album No Need To Compromise won't change the world.Nevertheless, it could easily be part of the perfect world soundtrack where Matthew Sweet and Fountains Of Wayne play on a continuous loop.Even more satisfying is the knowledge that Italiano, a la McCartney, created every sound on the album himself............He says the album is the result of a newfound confidence in his songwriting ability........"In the beginning of 1998, I started going to songwriter seminars and that's when I became more interested in writing songs without a band in mind. There was one seminar that was a three-day retreat that you had to audition for, and it was amazing being there with these people who were real craftsmen helping me rewrite my songs."After that, a friend asked me to write a song for his wedding and it was a great opportunity for me to start taking that craft kind of approach." The seminars also led Italiano to put together a rough demo and apply for a FACTOR songwriter grant. Much to his surprise, he received money to make a professional four-song demo."I sent it out to everyone and didn't get a response, so that's when I decided to record these songs the way I wanted to. Italiano whittled down the album's 10 tracks from 42 he had to choose from and put the pieces together over the first half of this year at Ron Roy's Threshold Studio in Kitchener.
