Giordana Angi: She’s so Great shows the singer-songwriter’s eclecticism and creativity
She’s so Great is available from midnight on May 23 and shows all the eclecticism and creativity of Jordan who artfully manages to switch from guitar to piano, from bass to harmonica and interprets a ballad with the same intensity and skill with which he sings a dance or rock song. The project was born from the need to bring his daily emotions into music, his soul. An overwhelming intimate and personal story with which the artist pursues the goal set already in November 2023 with the publication of the EP Jordanthat is, being able to express oneself in different languages and in different countries while trying to establish oneself on an international level. With the album She’s so Great the great versatility of the singer-songwriter emerges which imports into the album all the different cultures, situations and atmospheres in which she has immersed herself during her human and professional life path.
She’s so Great written entirely by her and produced by Martin Kierszenbaum for the Label CherryTree Music Company. With her they participated in the writing of some songs by her producer Martin Kierszenbaum (known to most as Cherry Cherry Boom Boom) e Diego Navaira (son of American country legend Emilio Navaira).
Below, the ten tracks that make up She’s so Great:
01. She’s so Great. An all-rock song that comes from an anecdote that happened to Giordana about a year ago when a stranger approached her at a party and touched her neck. She is astonished by that singular gesture. The episode remains in the drawer for a year, until she decides to put to music the sensations she felt during that evening, surprised by a total absence of perception of limits. In the single the singer-songwriter questions whether there is a boundary between the “I” and the “you” and she reminds us that there should always be an insurmountable threshold between our body, the shell of our soul, and that of others.
02. The wedding song. Wild rock joins more classical music in a pop dance single that opens with Wagner’s “The Wedding March” played by a distorted electric guitar. Giordana and Martin recreate a perfect movie plot: a stag party so beautiful that it ends with a wedding farewell. Two feelings converge in this song: the verses, in fact, sing about the love for the loved one with whom one wants to get married, while the chorus suddenly changes rhythm and meaning and we see the singer-songwriter who finds herself in a taxi in Bali.
03. Close to heaven. A dance pop single written in the car by the artist during one of her many trips, often sources of inspiration for her songs. It’s an electronic beat that drags. Vocal chops and a bass full of groove blend into a melody that brings out the many nuances of the singer-songwriter’s voice. The song is a dedication of love, a hymn to the importance of feelings and how much they can lead to living a situation of absolute happiness and serenity.
04. Hard to breathe. A ballad of violins that combine perfectly with electric guitars and distorted drums. Love is often the only antidote to stem anxieties, fears, insecurities and uncertainties that too often take over our lives. Love protects, cares, makes you feel alive.
05. Our Love (feat. Sting). Giordana returns to her beginnings and takes up the poetic style, the artist’s first great love, already present in “Incognita poetry” (a song published by the artist when she was 17 years old) to create an emotional ballad, an Italian adaptation of the song “For her love” by British star Sting. With a melody created by piano and tablas and Sting’s voice that continuously harmonizes that of the singer-songwriter, the single sings of the certainty of love, an emotion that colors life and brings light into the darkest moments.
06. My treasure. A danceable beat with Latin sounds and a vibrant rhythm that recalls flamenco accompany the entire song in a hymn to happiness and the desire to feel good. In this single the singer-songwriter is inspired by her roots and takes up the sounds she heard with her grandmother of Spanish origins. The artist remains faithful to musical tradition and she uses minimal production, clean vocals, without any reverb.
07. That’s what time does when we are together. It is the most folk piece on the album in which time is the protagonist. In fact, the song opens with a ticking sound that marks the moments of a time that only the power of love can make eternal. Passion transports us to another dimension.
08. Memories. A completely rock uptempo that winks at the sounds of the single “lei She lei’s so Great” with distorted guitars, synthesizers and drums that forcefully impose themselves on the song. Here love takes on a completely different meaning: it becomes betrayal, suffering, a scream of pain, a melancholy memory.
09. Big eyes (feat. Diego Navaira). It’s a pop song with country vibes, a mid tempo made of acoustic guitars, synthesizers and an electronic beat. The warm and deep voice of the singer-songwriter intertwines with the sandy one of guitarist Diego Navaira, son of the American country legend Emilio Navaira, to talk about love as a path to happiness.
10. Take us home. The only song from the album already published (released in March 2024). A song with sounds and beats typical of the 80s over which a rock melody extends. Electronic drums and bass accompany Giordana’s voice which from the verse to the chorus makes an octave leap in a song that is a hymn to life, to the desire to get involved, to take risks, to start over and undertake a new path, with stimuli and new emotions.
About her, Martin Kierszenbaum he has declared:
“I have had the privilege of working with several extraordinary artists and Giordana Angi is no different as she, like them, has great talent and a well-defined identity. It’s an honor to write and perform with someone as talented and musically agile as her. There is a lightness and naturalness to the sessions that make collaborating with Giordana a real delight”
