Singer-Guitarist Paolo Fuschi Releasing Funky New Single “This Old World”

Italian singer-guitarist Paolo Fuschi is set to drop his funky new single “This Old World” on October 6. The song is about rediscovering real human connections in a world where people have become increasingly isolated from one another due to a pervasive self-obsessed mindset that's taken hold. “This Old World” stresses the importance of communication and urges people throughout the world to come together and look out for one another, as well as practice mutual kindness and respect. 

Fuschi delivers this positive message through a dynamic Deep Funk groove, which features an irresistible rhythm guitar part, a powerful beat and some wicked bass. The track also boasts a stellar chorus, dope horns and a marvelous guitar solo from Fuschi. He played the solo through a Mini Q-Tron, an envelope filter pedal; this gave it a very funky wah wah-flavored Sly & the Family Stone-type feel.

The full musician lineup for "This Old World" was Fuschi (guitars, bass and vocals), Laurie Agnew (drums and percussion), Bo Lee (bass inspiration), Jack Tinker (trumpet), Andrew Morel (saxophones) and Justin Shearn (keyboards). Shearn also mixed and produced the track, and it was mastered by Stevie Williams. The official name of the band is Paolo Fuschi & The Outsiders.

Fuschi is based in Manchester UK and is heavily involved in the Mancunian soul, funk and blues scene. He has been bringing his potent mix of electric blues, classic soul and vintage funk to appreciative music lovers since 2002. And the musician has been electrifying audiences worldwide with his exciting live performances. 

Fuschi’s music has been featured on national radio stations, including BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio 6, as well as international networks such as the Italian Rai Radio. “This Old World” has already been featured on Craig Charles Soul & Funk Show on BBC Radio 6. On February 22, 2022, Fuschi released his most recent EP, "The Outsider," which is an excellent collection of soulful original blues tracks. He has collaborated with a number of great music acts in the Manchester area, including the supertight funk outfit Buffalo Brothers. Additionally, he has taught guitar for more than 18 years, both as a freelancer and for local authorities in Greater Manchester.

Fuschi will showcase “This Old World” at Marsden Jazz Festival in collaboration with Sunday Blues Train and Pat Fulgoni on October 7 at 9:00 p.m. Pre-save the single at your favorite digital platform here.
