Imagine yourself smoking a Marlboro, dressed to the nines in a jazz club. It might be difficult for you now, but Anton Commissaris can help you. There are time capsules that can take you back. Then there are artists, who can bring the sound of the time to you. Mission of Love is the song that will do the latter, almost effortlessly. Find the flavour in love, in black and white.

You’d be forced to not say “just like Sinatra” listening to this. Just like the Rat Pack, Anton brings the Vegas suave to you. From the instrumentals to the dapper vocals, you can hear the melody improvising, changing and tailored to the times. It might not be the case, but if you press this on vinyl, you’re fooling an awful lot of people. With beautiful, deep lyrics of finding the emotion that is yearned so much-it is a journey unlike any other. If this is the first time you’re listening to this artist, I can bet you that it won’t be the last. This is where the essence of music is returned, with style and flavour. The improvised inflections, whether planned or not, are the cherry on the icing. They bring the movement and energy of a live performance, and Anton Commissaris has perfected that imagery.

From Down with Love to Begin Again, there are a lot of romance genre movies that would do well with this song. Anton’s special way of composing and really kicking the sound into gear go a great distance in authenticity, which he is consciously bringing back to music. Listen to his EP Off the Shelf to understand his connect with the groove. Be sure to follow him for more great music like this!
