SOMETHING NEW: ‘Out In Bold’ – Giovanna

A haunting vocal and production seems fitting for a frosty Monday morning, simply gorgeous, Giovanna is completely different to anything else that’s out there at the moment. If there was only one comparison it would be to the equally sublime Lana Del Rey.
What sounds like a simplistic construction of a song, upon further listens (and believe me, you will want to listen over and over) the layers compliment each other with Eastern sounding drum rattles and dark harmonies – including a piano loop and rolling bass which suggest experience and years older than Giovanna more than likely is.
A fresh and exciting talent and polar opposite to the loud, dance, dubstep etc we find female artists associating themselves with in the chart at the moment. This sound is subtle yet intense, and with an EP due in early 2012, it sounds like the year to listen out for Giovanna Marshall.
