Sara De Sanctis – Serendipity
(Spotify)

“A sentimental journey taken by a sweet & soulful vocal accompanied by piano with a soft strings backing. Serendipity by Sara De Sanctis is a deeply melancholic play on denial. In that everything said is the opposite from the emotions actually experienced. A beautiful, clever song & a classy performance.”

-Nagamag.com

Artist shared few words with Nagamag behind this song inspiration"

"I am particularly attached to Serendipity. I wrote it at 5 am after a sleepless night, and the words came out easily. It's about remembrance and denial, it's about rejecting all those thoughts and memories that keep you awake at night. I started singing the melody before rushing to a piano to actually write it down. I remember that at that time I was taking a class in Sondheim's musical analyses, and I believe I was strongly influenced by his songs. One, in particular, was 'The Road You Didn't Take', where everything said in the lyrics is a lie. And that's how I thought about my lyrics." - Sara De Sanctis

Born in 1995 in Italy, Sara De Sanctis started playing the piano when she was five years old and became passionate about songwriting and composition during her teenage years. She achieved a Conservatoire Piano Diploma in Italy and in 2017 she graduated in Music at the University of Bristol, after having studied composition and conducting at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, USA. She is currently active as a pianist, singer/songwriter, and composer for media. Inspired by artists such as Aurora, Diana Krall, and Thom Yorke, her style can be defined as a mix of pop and jazz, and it is characterised by soft vocals, evocative piano melodies, and airy synths.

Richard Ford – Orfafardo – radio edit
(Spotify)

“A real laid back track full of emotional jazz improvisation. The material is so well developed that helps to structure the flow of incoming positive energy, which is emitted by a bright rainbow when listening to -Orfafardo-.”

“Настоящий релаксатор, насыщенный эмоциональной джазовой импровизацией. Материал настолько хорошо проработан, что помогает структурировать потоки входящего позитива, который излучается яркой радугой при прослушивании -Orfafardo-.”

-Nagamag.com

As an accomplished composer, producer, and bassist, as an Emmy-winning music editor, and executive music producer for film, L.A.-based Brit-transplant Richard Ford humbly maintains a resume of impressive accolades. He has worked with many Oscar-winning filmmakers on such films as Sideways, Argo, and Hidden Figures and, all this as a kind of second career after spending his early adult life as bass player for British music icons like Joe Jackson, Bram Tchaikovsky, and revered guitarist Bill Nelson. Basso Profondissimo 2, the album "Orfafardo" comes from, marks Richard's continued return to his bass-playing roots:

“I began to feel as though my music mojo was tapped at the end of the workday and didn’t have the energy or patience to be creative working on my own music. So, a couple of years ago I decided to take the basses out of the closet, and made it my mission to take some time away from film work to write my own material …I haven’t stopped since! After I finished the first Basso Profondissimo project, the muse of inspiration was still there, and I kept writing for what would become my next album, BP2.”

Raina Sokolov-Gonzalez – 40 Days (Spotify)

Raina Sokolov-Gonzalez – 40 Days
(Spotify)

“This is the perfect mood for all fans of neo-soul music. Classic jazz elements and blues lead vocals. -40 Days- is a reflection of the multifaceted talent to open the doors of perception of this magic spell.”

“Это идеальное настроение для всех поклонников neo-soul. Классические элементы джаза и блюзовый лидирующий вокал. -40 Days- это отражение многогранного таланта на открытые двери нашего восприятия данного волшебства.”

-Nagamag.com

Raina Sokolov-Gonzalez is a singer/composer based in Brooklyn, New York. Born into a family of musicians, music was Raina’s first language and it runs deep within her veins. Rooted in Jazz and R&B, the songwriter invites us into her unique sonic world with harmonic nuance and lyrical poetry.

Raina’s cross-genre style is built from the bottom up. With improvisation as a starting point for her songs, Raina draws on her emotionality and leans into her perception of the world around, uncovering hidden depths within daily life and articulating personal truth with vulnerability and bravery. Songwriting is her way of processing and understanding life in all its complexity.

Her latest single “40 Days” is a subtly complex story about a struggle to let go. Some of that holding is portrayed and experienced as strength, “I won’t let it go, let it strip all my pride”, a stubborn vigilance. Later in the song, that same holding takes form as an unhealthy attachment, “I fought for you when I knew it wasn’t right.” It’s hard to let go and it’s especially hard to let go of people who have hurt you, as backwards as that may seem. At the core of “40 Days” is the desire to let go, to be soft, to live in expansive harmony, and the accompanying choir embodies that desire. Community, shared truth and recognition set us free.

The single is a slow burn. Flickering with a tender tempo, the intro and verses keep us close; their delicate specificity is complimented by the fullness and warmth of the chorus and choir. Keeping intimacy at the center, the simplicity of the song demands a high level of craftsmanship and restraint. “40 Days” is entirely full and romantic in its sonic appeal. Captivating from the start, this New Yorker produces smoky, sensual vocals that glide over the track melting into a surge of passion and honesty.

With over 600k streams on Spotify and a budding global audience, RSG has packed rooms at prestigious venues such as Brooklyn Bowl, SOB’s, Rockwood Music Hall, MoMA PS1 and many others. Opening for artists such as Starchild and the New Romantic, Raina has a deep connection to the New York City music scene.

“40 Days” is the second single to be released off of the upcoming album IF THEY’RE MINE, due May 2021.
