GIORGIA'S RETURN WITH A RECORD, “G”
Giorgia appears very enthusiastic and eager to make everyone understand and feel what she worked on, what she chose to include and what the phrases and words of the entire project mean.
In the midst of all this, a hectic life between music, TV and home with her partner and son. We start right from here, from how you can manage all this:
“They say I'm very optimistic and positive but I'm not, but it's a period full of things. On the work front I'm a train, I'm away from home a lot and it weighs on me but my son, at 15, manages somehow. My partner also has his own rhythms so when I spend those 24, 48 hours in Rome I try to leave everything organized but I'm more worried about the cats. We have 4 of them and they never give up on me, I worry more for them than for the humans.”
Moving on to the album, for the first time you can't see his face on the cover. What does this choice depend on?
“This album is a first time, I worked in a way I've never used before. I was far from my comfort zone and even the cover photo had to be a first time, I and my work group liked it.
Being full-figured and faceless means going straight to the essential, which is also why it's called G. Friends call me G but it also means Thank you for all the support over these years.”
Among the various songs there is one that is much more international than the others, Between the Moons and the Dunes. There's Rosalia, Daft Punk…
“True, it's all there but there's also a Jacksonian quote and I was afraid to sing it at the beginning, but instead it was simpler than I thought. There's production and writing by Dardust, that of Jacopo Ettore and there are these evocative images of the desert, of the crosses, of the calendar, a world that I really like of images that belong to what I like.”
What songs were difficult to sing?
“Paradoxical, it seems singable and linear but there is a lot of breath work on the verse, with a very high special, and also Carillon but I like it so much that I completely dove in. Quicksand, too, has some complicated phases, but they all have something that made me discover different resources and different metrics than those I grew up with.
Carillon, in particular, is a dialogue with my childhood self. I didn't want to distort the poetry that came to me and I live it as if I were speaking to my shy, closed half, who dreamed but didn't dare say it and lived in his room. A bit as if these two sides of me now coexist.”
Let's move on to the feat with Blanco. Did you take Blanco's original demo again or did you re-record it?
“We only kept a couple of beautiful lines from Blanco, for the rest he sang the second song again. The special and the ending we kept his original, there is his whole way of interpreting and in addition there is my part which I changed because I wanted to maintain coherence with what I hope to have conveyed in these years”
