Spanish-Italian singer-songwriter Barbara Falzoni has released her highly anticipated debut EP, RAW. This collection introduces audiences to her intense and evocative songwriting, covering themes of love, loss, mental health, and society through tracks like ‘Free Fallin’’, ‘Hundred Years’, and ‘Dust ‘n’ Bones’.
Barbara’s RAW is a multifaceted exploration of emotions, characterized by its atmospheric tones and dynamic range. In some moments, she embraces darker, smoky undertones, supported by raw guitar riffs and distant synth pads. In others, vibrant and energetic R&B anthems with catchy hooks are layered over sliding 808s and clean production. Her most emotive performances on the EP see her using her voice to reflect on deep feelings, breaking down barriers of despair, passion, and gratitude with powerful climaxes and a spellbinding vulnerability.
“I wrote this EP about my own life experiences,” Barbara shares.
Born in Switzerland and raised in Marbella, Spain, Barbara discovered her passion for writing at the age of eleven, using poetry as a means of healing and expression. At fourteen, she began taking singing lessons, eventually studying Music Business and Musical Theatre in Madrid before moving to London. It was in London that Barbara truly found her footing as a songwriter, continuing her studies in music production, composition, and performance.
Her debut single, ‘Fighting Shadows’, along with the tracks on RAW, were recorded and produced in Miami, Florida. Collaborating with a stellar team, including multi-Grammy-award-winning producer and songwriter Rudy Perez, sound engineer Andres Bermudez, and mastering engineer Bob Ludwig, Barbara has brought her vision to life. This new EP offers listeners a chance to connect not only with her music but also to share in a cathartic journey.
