\n Simone Felice is a celebrated songwriter\, author\, and p oet. He was the former drummer\, writer and vocalist of The Felice Brothers and after he left the band in 2009 he formed his own ba nd The Duke & The King. He also performs solo.
\n\n For Simone Felic e\, his self-titled Team Love solo debut has literally been a lif etime in the making. He explains\, “This album is the one I’ve had buried away\, somewhere in my weird heart.”
\n\n Felice doesn’t use the wor d “heart” casually. When you sit with him in a room you can hear a subtle metallic ticking noise. If you hunt for the source of the sound you’ll fin d a vertical scar bisecting the entire length of his chest\, a visceral re minder of the open-heart surgery he was forced to undergo in the summer of 2010 after a childhood congenital defect brought him to the brink of deat h. He traces the line of that scar as if it’s where his new songs actually emanate from\, and in a way they do. Simone Felice is strikingly simple i n its arrangements but extravagant in its emotional impact. There is a lum inous aura surrounding these compositions\, something magical and otherwor ldly\, even when the lyrics are startlingly topical or reference historica l events\, on tracks like “Courtney Love\,” “New York Times” and “Ballad o f Sharon Tate.” Felice conveys his often mournful tales of star-crossed lo vers and beautiful losers with remarkable empathy.
