I am a huge lover of music that rock or soothes your soul Fabrizio Brugnera is a composer whose compositions have me captivated. So his announcement about a brand new single was sure to generate excitement and I’m happy to report that this latest release is another great instance of his work. This time, Fabrizio is joined by the gorgeous voice of Elvya. I asked him about how the collaboration was born.
Fabrizio: ” Elvya found me through my single ‘Blot’, she sent me a message after hearing it and loving it, showing willingness to work with me, after listening to her music I instantly connected with her style and interpretation, I knew a collaboration with her was going to work and be fun, musically speaking from the compositional aspect everything fell into place”.
If you’re not familiar to the music of Fabrizio I strongly suggest finding his song, ‘Blot’, which was released earlier in the year, and re-released by Joyzine. For those who want to know more about Elvya I’d suggest you to search for her incredible music, including her album of 2015, ‘Untold Stories’,which is stunning, along with her 2022 single “Traveler In Time’. I inquired with Fabrizio about his most recent track, ‘May’ and how it came to be.
Fabrizio”Everything began from an arrangement I made earlier in the year. The piece was unreleased completely arranged with the intention of being instrumental, but was on hold because I was feeling like there was something that was missing. Elvya was a part of the composition by recording vocal lines. We then played to the tune back and forth till we came up with the structure and final arrangement. “May” is about cherishing the beauty of nature and friendship in the purest sense. Honoring the smallest wonders like the honey bees collecting honey or the sea crashing against the shore. In the end, the song is transformed into a party and a gathering of souls from all over the world and to share the joy of life ‘.
So what do you think? Is “May” an individual project or is it part of a bigger concept that is in store for the next?
Fabrizio”We’re sure to would like to think this is the case! It was a trial to see to see if we could work together and I believe we’ve got the answer. There is no way to rule out the possibility, but we took an measured approach from the beginning. In essence, we’ve been focusing on ‘May’up to this point. We are definitely looking forward to record more music in the future. ‘.
So, let’s get to the latest single, which opens with a smooth tribal drumbeat and a gentle string arrangement that lasts for eight bars before Elvya’s beautiful vocals come into. The first time I heard it, I thought to Mike Oldfield and his amazing collaborations with female vocalists because the music and vocals seamlessly blend Fabrizio’s perfect orchestration with Elvya’s precise , atmospheric vocals. Both the music and the vocals are comfortable to listen to and immediately transport listeners to a place of peace and serenity. The acoustic harmony between two highly talented singers is perfect and the production of Fabrizio is precise, just like the last time.
As far as collaborations go and collaborations go, this one is a great example and I’m excited to see what other collaborations Fabrizio and Elvya are able to create in 2023.
