Album Notes

Singer songwriter Kiara Bianco was born and raised in a very small town in the South of Italy. Her strong personality embraces an extraordinary natural talent and multicultural traits that reflect her small-town roots and worldwide travels. She has been exposed to international music since the age of 14 when she first studied and lived in Australia, and later in New York, Canada, Milan and London.

\"Kiara has caught our attention for her incredible talent as well as for her passion and her strong will in pursuing her musical career\", Michael Pergolani, music journalist and speaker for No 1 Italian Radio Station RADIO 1 RAI.

Her drive for music and her unmistakable talent as a pop rock artist have allowed her a successful evolution that resulted in her recently receiving national airplay on No 1 Italian Radio Station, RADIO 1 RAI, performing at top venues such as the Hard Rock Cafe, Barfly and Enterprise in London as well as the legendary New York City rock club, The Bitter End, where legends such as Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Tracy Chapman, Tori Amos have launched their careers and where Kiara recently performed for The New York Songwriters Circle, the premiere spot in NYC featuring up and coming as well as many legendary Songwriters for over 17 years including Norah Jones, Vanessa Carlton and Chris Barron (Spin Doctors).
Kiara has finished her Residency at the legendary Bitter End in NYC where she has performed every week for the entire month of April 08 and her summer festival performances on major Italian stages opening for Italian acts like Francesco Baccini and Avion Travel.

Kiara’s music is very personal, intimate and genuine, a crossroads between the melodies of the early Alanis Morissette, the throaty vocals of Joss Stone and the soulful touch of Annie Lennox.

Recensione CD
author: Antonio Caruso
[...]un progetto musicale che a me sembra molto buono. È chiaro che il vero singolo è “Anything around me” (mi è piaciuta molto anche la versione acustica); cattura l’ascolto all’inizio dell’album e la versione in acustico verso la fine dell’album è molto graziosa e pulita (personalmente apprezzo molto i brani acustici ma è questione di gusti). Il ritornello resta in testa. Fra gli altri pezzi quelli che mi sono piaciuti di più sono “Magnified” più rockggiante (mi ricorda vagamente i Lacuna Coil, secondo me è veramente un bel pezzo!) e “Right this time?” che richiama musicalmente più marcatamente il jazz-blues, ma senza essere troppo pretenzioso. Secondo me in questo pezzo la batteria potrebbe osare un po’ di più, ma poi rischierebbe di prevalere troppo... forse la soluzione migliore è, in definitiva, quella scelta in fase di produzione. “Wondering why” (che, per me, è una vera chicca!!!) crea attesa, suspance… è cantata e suonata perfettamente. Credo che fra i pezzi sia quello più meditato.Complessivamente si nota già al primo ascolto che i brani sono “pensati”, nulla (o veramente molto poco) è lasciato al caso, e questo rende chiaro che si tratta di un progetto valido e solido.

Live Review
author: Tobi Wan, director and playwright for the New York Theatre
"A powerful singer, proving herself both vocally with her throaty, sexy sound, and lyrically with her acerbic, biting songwriting. [...] Come out to see her performance so you can say you saw her before it was impossible to get tickets to her shows."
