Here is a review of "Only Love Is Real" from Wasser-Prawda Magazine in Germany (Steve has a huge following in Europe)-"He has already played with the Neville Brothers and Blues musicians such as Paul Rishell & Annie Raines and shared the stage with The Band, Willie Nelson and Walter Trout. Songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Steve Grandinetti's most recent album "Only Love Is Real " cannot be assigned to any one genre, because, as usual, it changes as needed between rock, pop, blues and soul Jamrock. And that is what always makes his records surprising.

Winter finally has arrived, gray and hazy. Steve Grandinetti sings "I Miss The Sun", slightly dreamy and seemingly without end. But nearly ten minutes is not enough to change the weather. After the song is over you want to hear and dream to more of those moody tracks on "Only Love Is Real".

But again and again the album pulls you out of melancholy. Grandinetti has once again filled the disc with everything from jazzy rock grooves ("Jake's Groove ") through dreamy pop melodies ("Julie") to funky excursions on the dance floor. Those who have been watching the songwriter for some time, know what I mean. Whereas the ones who are only now beginning to discover this musician can look forward to a musical roller coaster ride. Above all - and this is what holds together even the largest variety of styles - he is a songwriter with a lot of heart and warmth, who is a stranger to the prevailing cynicism and who is willing to stay positive over and over again, despite all adversities.

Unfortunately that has become very rare today."
