There is a small everyday image in the center of Single girlthe new single by Barbara Bert: that of a cell phone that lights up and then disappoints, because it is just an advertising notification. From there begins a reflection on time as a gift and on the freedom to choose who to dedicate it to. The song, published by Helimds Records, is in radio rotation.
Singer-songwriter from Carrara, Barbara Bert he signs a piece with a direct and sunny sound, born from a personal experience and built around the idea that feeling good about yourself can be a strength.
“Single Girl”, the meaning of the song
Single girl tells the story of an independent woman who chooses to put herself at the center of her own path, transforming loneliness into an opportunity for growth. More than an abstract message, the artist herself explains the heart of it in an interview:
“In 'Single Girl' I talk about that cell phone that lights up and disappoints you because it's just advertising: a moment that can also be negative or melancholy. But that's exactly where the reflection starts: you understand that your time is a gift and you decide who to give it to. Making people dance is important, but making people think is just as important, because you can dance even with a crumpled heart if that rhythm helps you find yourself.”
The result is a song with an immediate rhythm, designed to make you move but also to leave room for a thought. The single was born from the collaboration with the producers Ciro Mitolaof the independent label Helimds Records, and the DJ and producer Andrea Cecchini.
