Selva

Description

Italian singer-songwriter Marta Del Grandi returns with her new album *Selva*. The album was primarily written on the road and in Berlin, and when it came time to record, Marta turned to her old stomping grounds in Ghent, Belgium. Co-produced by Bert Vliegen (Sophia, Whispering Sons) and featuring a quartet of musicians who have been collaborating with Marta since 2015, the sessions resulted in an avalanche of creative ideas and one of the most relaxed experiences the artist had ever known – perfect conditions for her growth as a singer-songwriter. Beams of light permeate every track on Marta Del Grandi's album. Vocal drones overlap, creating a cathartic collision of soft and crisp textures, as if to guide us hand in hand through the Italian artist's universe. This project is blindingly ambitious, and the result is there to prove it: 12 songs of ethereal and sprawling pop, vibrant, immense, and perfectly illuminated. The album is a clever succession of refined pop tracks that unfold effortlessly, combining emotional complexity, divine organic arrangements, and a sci-fi finale. She presents herself with the ambition of offering a whole new universe, her own ecosystem, where the strength of her voice alone is the pillar to lean on.
