Istanbul’s own Han ERYILMAZ, better known as Barista, is back with a musical treat that’s worth every moment of your time. His new album, “Goodbye Heaven,” was crafted among the tranquil peaks of Ojai, and let me tell you, it’s as refreshing as a cool mountain breeze. Barista is all about keeping it real, sidestepping mainstream fluff, and diving into the nitty-gritty of human experiences with music that tugs at your heartstrings.
Teaming up with a rockstar lineup, including the drumming legend Simon Phillips and multi-instrumentalist Jesse Siebenberg of Supertramp fame, Barista spins magic. This dream team also features Mariami, Bob Glaub, David Delhomme, Jeff Babko, Rudiger, Kyle Tkatch, and engineer Jason Mariani, creating a sound that’s as unique as it is soul-stirring.
“Goodbye Heaven” is more than just an album; it’s a deep dive into the soul, tackling big issues like injustice and personal battles with lyrics that hit home and melodies that stick with you. After sifting through 35 tracks, Barista picked 11 gems to form this masterpiece, recorded in just three weeks but polished to perfection over three months.
Forget the pop culture noise—this album’s got substance. Building on the success of “Justice Now,” which rocked the UK charts, “Goodbye Heaven” is set to soar even higher. Each track offers an immersive experience, revealing Barista’s inner world with music that’s felt as much as it’s heard. The collaboration with Phillips is pure magic, with melodies and lyrics that resonate long after the final note.
Mark your calendars for late July because “Goodbye Heaven” is one release you do not want to miss. Dive in, let the music wash over you, and emerge transformed. Barista’s crafted a winner here, folks—get ready to be blown away!
