RAFFAELLA ZAGO: “Open Your Heart” is my story. His first unpublished

Interviews

Open Your Heart is the second single and first official unreleased song by Raffaella Zago (out Friday 1 December).

The song, released by Groovin Recordings, comes after the acclaim received by the artist born in 1998 for his nu-soul reinterpretation of “Money Trees”, a song by the most praised rapper of the last decade, Kendrick Lamar.

“Open Your Heart” is my story – says Raffaella – I wrote it when my boyfriend and I broke up.

It talks about my suffering, his suffering and what it was like after the breakup of a beautiful love relationship that ended after six years.

It is the first song I wrote seriously, because the great suffering I felt led me to feel the need to write and tell what I experienced but also to be able to relive this great feeling, even if not happy, every time I sing it and I listen to it.”

“Open Your Heart” is a sentimental song in which the versatility of the artist’s voice stands out first and foremost, reiterating his nu-soul attitude and, at the same time, demonstrating a certain pop elegance. Raffaella Zago is the author and composer of her songs and worked on the musical production of “Open Your Heart” with Max Greco and a band of musicians who support her both in the studio and on live dates.
