Castella starts 2023 with an original tune written by Castella with music produced by David P. Stevens. Hearing something special in Castella’s voice and spirit, Stevens approached Castella with an amazing track which instantly resonated with the singer songwriter. “It was just one of those tracks… you hear it and the melody comes instantly, a story develops and before you know it, we have a song!” Inspired by Castella’s favorite subject, “Love” – “I Saw You” is a tale of being down in life and finding friendship and love in a person with a pure heart and pure intentions. Adding to the tune is the talent of top 5 Billboard charting saxophonist Marqueal Jordan. Marqueal’s tone and styling envelope this classic soulful song reminiscent of beloved artists like Oleta Adams, Dianne Reeves, Rachelle Farrell and certainly Debra and Ronnie Laws! The blend of Castella and Marqueal with sparks of David’s guitar make for a very special record. “I Saw You” fills that void and gives the listener that instant “good -good feeling” with an unforgettable melody that will certainly have everyone singing the hook – “I Saw You”… Official release date, January 6, 2023.
