It's a golden moment for Greta Panettieri: a book that has just come out - the second , two radio programs , presence at international conferences and teaching at the IULM University of Milan and at the Conservatory. A whirlwind of experiences and emotions that led to the birth of the new and eighth album , Into my garden , to be published on 6 January 2023. Anticipated by the fascinating video clip of the song No more, presented in video première by Repubblica TV , Into my garden is the album of maturity, carefully composed, arranged and made during three long and intense years of work.
Seven original songs plus the cover of the Bob Dylan song I believe in you , with music and lyrics signed by Greta and her faithful producer Andrea Sammartino , who present themselves to the world as a tool to untie the knots of a contrasting and difficult to understand world interpret unambiguously and definitively.
Both in the recording studio and in live performances, Greta Panettieri accompanies her voice with the acoustic guitar. Around her a string quartet curated by the violist Chiara Ciancone and the classic bass, piano and drums trio with Daniele Mencarelli, Andrea Sammartino and Alessandro Paternesi, interventions by the guitarist Angelo Lazzeri and the trumpeter Fulvio Sigurtà who give the album a touch of electronics: five musicians with whom Greta has been collaborating for some time, and who complete her soul that has always been multi-stylistic and eclectic, which over the years has expressed itself at the highest levels and with innate dexterity between jazz, pop, R&B, Bossa Nova, adding distant echoes of classical music, ethnic and traditional music.
Of the seven new unreleased songs Greta writes: “ I tried to shed light inside myself, simplifying the writing to untie the knots I've been dealing with in recent times: reflections, sensations, sometimes conflicting but strong and clear emotions. I chose to reinterpret Bob Dylan's I believe in you as a message of encouragement for the new generations, Dylan addresses God, I ... I believe in young people."
The songs are, as always, very eclectic and different from each other: the style and the suggestions go through swing, afrobeat, contemporary R&B groove and pop, up to warmer almost country-folk sounds , with a common threadrepresented by the lyrics or by some melodic cells that are re-proposed in new forms within the songs.
If with the album Collection (released in 2020) Greta had declared a first cycle of music closed, Into my garden represents a beginning with a new artistic maturity. Recorded at 96,000 khz 24bit, so that it can also be listened to by those looking for high quality and definition sound, the disc bears the mark of the unmistakable work of Andrea Sammartino, artistic and life partner, who once again edited from A to Z the production, from the writing of the songs done together with Greta, to the sumptuous and sparkling arrangements, to the studio recording with the musicians, up to the crucial moment of mixing and mastering.
Greta Panettieri :“The composition of “Into my garden” began during the first lockdown and with Andrea we had just bought a microphone to record the sounds of the garden: rain, wind, birds - which every time we record they get on the balcony to chirp! - footsteps on the gravel...These sounds are present in the album and all the lyrics were written on the veranda where I definitely let myself be inspired by the suggestions of nature..."
The words find their voice between English and Italian: "Each language has its own personality, brings with it an emotion and a whole sound legacy that helps me write and express a certain idea or emotion. When I write I let myself be guided by the sound of the words. In this album I don't use Portuguese, a language with which I usually enjoy a lot, but only English which helps me to be concise, and Italian with which I can express the complexity” .https://www.gretasbakerymusic.com/
