Valarie

Max Muscato

Singer-songwriter, guitarist, and producer, Max Muscato, has returned after 5 years without new releases. As a self-taught guitar player, he learned how to play by practicing licks from classic rock and blues artists. His debut album, “Act One” was released in 2017, and in 2018, he started the Rock Autism Festival. Muscato’s brother, Sonny, was diagnosed with autism when young, and this inspired the festival idea. Muscato also draws inspiration from various pop and rock icons; these include John Mayer, Ed Sheeran, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Stone Temple Pilots, Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd. His discography is available on Spotify, Youtube, and Apple Music. Max Muscato’s newest release is the rock hit, “Valarie.”

“Valarie” comes from a collaboration with Muscato’s father, a 30-year pro drummer. According to the artist, “the inspiration behind this song was the feeling every guy gets when they see a girl who knocks their socks off.” It sounds like the kind of hit that fits perfectly with his genre. “Valarie” has a catchy melody with heavy drum beats, and combined with Muscato’s husky vocals, creates an incredibly nostalgic song. Lyrics like “The way she moves her hips in that tight red dress” and “I’m going out of my mind / my thoughts are running wild,” they talk about the feeling when you meet someone that you can’t take your eyes off. At the same time, they feel natural in this era. Love songs from the 80s have the same spirit that these two have put into their work. So, stream Max Muscato’s “Valarie” today to learn about love again.
