First it hypnotizes you then it takes you into a world without borders, a world in harmony ... the round melodies enjoy the mystery of a wonderful and engaging voice while the musicians, with great expressiveness, color them in quiet tones.
Super! Favorite track: In Quiet Tones.

In Quiet Tones In quiet tones, the breeze Sings past my quiet days of longing come to me, silently always in touch with the solitude that I seek of you ending with the softness that I'm...... Falling Running.... Just to the moment we once knew So silently... I wait for you All that I see is all I know For all just like... My thoughts rush through the open seas To find you... So close to me... Sing to me Like the morning rise Over waves of sunset nights Run with me To the never ending shores Live the life we once knew Of a song My song Our song This song So long Ago So long ago Always in touch With the solitude That I seek of you Ending with the softness that I'm falling... Running... Just to the moment we once knew Sing to me Like the morning rise Over waves of sunset nights Run with me To the never ending shores Live the life we once knew

Coming undone I'm so coming undone Like a ship without sails Tails unraveling gales Spinning in circles rounds and around Feeling uptight Knotted ball cos tonight This frisky kitten is playful Ain't like I'm ungrateful But big bull doggy knows that he wants to bite Whoa there son tiger don't pounce If she says she wants to play take that ball and just bounce Don't go off half cocked Trying to make the score of the century Nervous ticks starting to sweat Tangled up choking you're losing my thread Say you wanna hang and play records But I know that you're ready to break some I'm so coming undone Now you're gonna get stung Strung up tonight high and dry Man these stakes are too high I keep doing your bidding Honey who am I kidding I can feel your garot Now it's down to the wire Don't you ever give up Don't you ever get tired And meanwhile I'm losing what's left of my mind I'm so coming undone Now you're gonna get stung I'm so coming undone So coming undone Nervous ticks starting to sweat Tangled up choking you're losing my thread Say you wanna hang and play records But I know that you're ready to break some I'm so coming undone Now you're gonna get stung Strung up tonight high and dry Man these stakes are too high I keep doing your bidding Honey who am I kidding Cos I can feel your garot Now it's down to the wire Don't you ever give up Don't you ever get tired And meanwhile say I'm losing what's left of my mind Oh I'm so coming undone Now you're gonna get stung I'm so coming undone Now your gonna get stung Mmmmh I'm so coming undone Yeah yeah yeah yeah I'm so coming undone

AWAKE IN THAT SPACE Look how in love is the moon up above Sharing memories of fallen leaves and ancient streams of dreams Falling in love through some ancient release And the memories come flooding free for every heart to see Lingering thoughtlessly as the color rushes through my mind Wandering by continuously like a strum of a chord From a distant memory Feel how beautiful it could be Summer night and a dream float by listlessly Without meanings without hope Sentiments rush afloat What’s more is to be awake in that space between

Flown 06:13
FLOWN footprints on the moon a seed in the heart blooms either way treasures passes on wittingly let slip away grasping love flows away in space in vain lovely is the smile up on your face Sings a song of memories Wonder if you will stay So please find a moment to reflect upon Notions of a thought That we shared Sunny side of the fall Thinking just how it awakes Sudden hopes from a loving inside Yes you’ll say just how this Moment has slipped away And so days stretch out through the hours Touching fabrics of time Unwoven Seeping treasures Flown….

Playing Little Games Well your heart may sing A thousand melodies But I know just the one That you have sung for me Well it's known and it's sure That you're playing little games with me Left me lonely here Without a hope in sight Thinking that all this time You loved this little heart of mine Well it's known and it's sure That you're playing little games with me People may say all they want seeing how You enchant me with your charms and your smile And that glimmer in your eye How can I know that it's all just a game That you played While I'm falling So in love with you! Well...so it seemed that love had come to stay But at last all it was... Was just a little game that you played Well it's known and it's sure That you're playing little games with me Well it's known and it's sure That you're playing little games with me

DEEP IS THE NIGHT Deep is the night In the Silence of her mind Floating like lovers Through this river of time Can we begin to hold a dream altogether Without losing... I’m holding back from all that’s in your eyes Deep down it’s always searching for compromise Meanings don’t last forgotten dreams they are always Gently fleeting... For it’s known , for it’s wise And all this, I believe in the ways of the heart Can you know what love means Without stories to build on a dream? And everyday that will come Is a new dawn...

Life is unpretending Though it's only certain that hope Will sure to come when Seems to fall Take a chance Take a stance Letting go has never been so easy So know that your heart could be So wide At ease And know that your heart is sacred Sacred as the sounds above Sacred all the hearts that find Deep within your fallen mind Change is coming round Spinning you inside a coaster ride How can this secret change be Secret change inside Turning you around a coaster ride How can this secret change be found.

You comfort me so easily With your smile it's all it takes To fill my heart each waking day Hidden charm that's in your gaze You'll let me know Well that's how it is As hearts grow fonder through the years Won't you take me away On that sailboat to the stars Where the clouds dance so close To the moon in the night We'll be together like always for better We'll be together like always for better And together we can dance alone And understand all the hopes we've seen And it's only a matter of time before it begins You'll let me know Well that's how it is As hearts grow fonder through the years Won't you take me away On that sailboat to the stars Where the clouds dance so close To the moon in the night We'll be together like always for better We'll be together like always for better And together we can dance alone And understand all the hopes we've seen And it's only a matter of time before it begins

There is a sweetness in trying for your love An unexplainable feeling from above I tried to reach inside to realise a way A passage way I'll find to lead me back to your way Like a dove I fly To the stars so high A mystery so divine Take me to that place to a place real nice My life is yours for you keep me safe and warm There is this yearning in searching for your love Forever living A thousand rivers bend in time Caught in the meanings Coloured faith up on the line As cycles give in The caution slowly breaks the mind Like a dove i fly To the stars so high A mystery so divine Take me to a place to a place real nice My life is yours and you keep me safe and warm Hold on To the love that you once had Oh won't you hold on To the love that you once had Moments of pleasures forever ebbing at my heart Growing in circles Never ending cycles of time Living a life in love The hopeful slowly wears in time Taken for granted the simple wishes of this life

about

Fortressa's new engaging album of original pieces, highlights influences from having grown up both in the east and west. One finds the subtle blending of the different colors of the world supported by the sophisticated harmonies of jazz to reveal a touching, joyful story that is uniquely her own.

In this project entitled "Secret Change", shows supporting collaborations with some of the most versatile and innovative Italian jazz musicians, each bringing his own unique personality to the whole, while at the same time forming a unity of cohesion that supports the Singer. Songs like "Flown" and "A Passageway I Find" are written with force and the magnificent expressiveness created by the musicians only raise them to a higher level, bringing the viewer to a greater involvement.

Although each musician brings his best to this project, the focus is, as it should be, on Fortressa, whose voice with her airy qualities engages the listener. She prefers quiet and mesmerizing melodies, where other artists would choose a more forte approach. This technique is especially effective on songs such as "In Quiet Tones", a rhythmic waltz that allows her to fly over the rhythmic section with her lyrics and phrasing, or on "Playing Little Games With Me", a tribute to the great American songbook.

Fortressa fantasizes with the microphone, giving the story a movement that makes one think of a diver gliding over the sparkling moonlit waves; her sweet and smoky voice, at times sensual and dreamy, creates the experience of a narrative adventure in a stream of consciousness that floats on a delightful sea of ​​calm and passion.
