Sonic Diary is Released + More News on Costanza!
After an incubation period of over 5 years, Costanza is finally ready to share the pages of her diary with friends all over the world. As of June 17th, 2008 Costanza invites fans to download ‘Sonic Diary‘ from iTunes, eMusic and Amazon.com. The artist, who was last heard on a full length on Tricky’s 2003 album ‘Vulnerable‘, has been collecting inspiration from a wide variety of societal issues including immigration, dependency on medicine, longing in relationships and women’s rights.
The lead single from Sonic Diary, “Just Another Alien” has been made available as a free download on Costanza’s MySpace page, www.myspace.com/costanzafrancavilla, between today and July 8th, the date of the physical release of the album. At that time, ‘Sonic Diary‘ will be available through the artist’s web site, www.costanza.tv in two formats. Along with a traditional cardboard cased CD, fans will be able to purchase the new CD, along with the accompanying music videos, on limited edition USB drive.
When asked to describe Sonic Diary, Costanza explains,
“It’s a 15 song journal and includes tracks that made my diary during these last few years from the time I met Tricky ’til today in Brooklyn with the mermaids of the East River.” Along with new compositions, Costanza has included three fascinating reinterpretations of familiar songs, a stark, drum-driven take on Johnny Cash’s “God’s Gonna Cut You Down,” a passionate and angry take on Fugazi’s “Promises” and a heartbreaking ode to fallen Italian pop star Rino Gaetano in “Sale”.
To stream the album for free, as well as view the accompanying music videos, launch the Reverb Nation player here: STAND ALONE PLAYER! Acclaimed multimedia artist Peter Mettler provided the image mixing for the brand new videos for potential singles “Silence” and “Where Have You Been.”
