Gizmo Varillas – The World in Colour

The World in Color is Gizmo's most personal work to date, inspired by formative events in his recent past: the loss of his father, his wedding, moving with his family to Brighton - back to the sea, which has accompanied him since his childhood in Santander. These personal changes are reflected in songs like Ojos Nuevos and Desde el Otro Lado. The moving ballad Ojos Nuevos, which Gizmo wrote the day before his father's death, is carried by the delicate harp of Amanda Whiting. It addresses the moment when you realize how precious life is. Desde el Otro Lado, a quiet and introspective track, was created during the many hours Varillas spent by the sea - a hymn to the intimate connection to water, which is also reflected in the majestic Hijo del Mar.
