Italian singer songwriter Marta Del Grandi returns with 'Selva', her most intricate and shimmering effort yet, a refined devotional suite of astute pop that flows effortlessly, uniting emotional complexity, divine organic arrangements with a sci-fi finish.If her debut 'Until We Fossilize' showed all the qualities of Marta's unique approach, tip-toeing between Laurel Canyon dust, Lynchian etherealism and dramatic Morricone scores, 'Selva' delves deeper into the undergrowth, showcasing an ambition to deliver a whole new universe, her own ecosystem, where the strength of her voice alone is the pillar to build on.Beams of choral light radiate and permeate each track, with layered vocal drones creating a cathartic collision of sharp and soft textures, as almost to guide us hand in hand across Marta Del Grandi's enchanted universe. The ambition is blinding and the outcome is here to prove it 12 songs of sprawling ethereal pop that is vivid, immense and fully illuminated.1. Mata Hari2. Eye of the Day3. Chameleon Eyes4.
