Sakis Gouzonis is an impressive musical composer based out of a secret studio "at the foot of Mt. Olympus." You won't find him on streaming services but instead can download his latest album True Hope directly from his website at sakisgouzonis.com/sakis-gouzonis-true-hope. 

Gouzonis has released 17 studio albums with a discography of 170 original compositions. His prolific writing and recording career has been fueled by his earning 10 international music awards and by amassing more than 780,000 followers across 192 countries and 28 territories.

When it comes to True Hope, the album is a collection of larger-than-life epic recordings that could easily comprise the soundtrack of your next favorite video game. The compositions are grandiose, primarily up-tempo, and explode toward your ears with a full-bodied sound not unlike Phil Spector's legendary "Wall of Sound." At the risk of revealing my own age, I find these songs remeniscent of the soundtracks to TV specials featuring magician David Copperfield, or perhaps the earlier iterations of performances that have led to worldwide phenomena like Cirque du Soleil. 

Typically I wrap up a review urging a reader to follow the artist on their socials or streaming platforms. But other than Sakis' LinkedIn profile, he does not support those endeavors. Instead, he runs his own newsletter and openly invites fans to join him there to receive the latest updates from him directly. Visit sakisgouzonis.com/sakis-gouzonis-e-newsletter to keep up with the latest news from Gouzonis' camp.
