Stunning vocals, soulful and reverb-kissed, meet with live rhythmic fragments and a three-chord keys loop, as Marta Federici captures a clear sense of evocative swagger and mood, for Io Sceglierei Solo Me.
Intimate introductions pave the way brilliantly, the track instantly captivating for the sheer strength and fluidity of Marta’s voice. Soon afterwards, the single rises up into a full band embrace – the warmth of the bass, live jazz drums and keys, synths, additional voices, all helping create a sense of powerful escapism and togetherness.
Structurally the song continues to utilise this effective pattern, contrast masterfully incorporated between these melancholic solo verses and the much brighter, euphoric unity of the hook. The music falls away, the voice guides, then everything works together as one to re-raise that energy and power all over again.
Fantastic songwriting, a soulfully gripping performance of a track with long-form melodic threads both enchanting and addictive as they gather bold momentum. Marta Federici shines brightly for this organic single, the live potential undeniable as the studio version rains down with authenticity and heart. An easy must for the summertime indie playlists .
