ALESSANDRO CIMINATA LOVERS

Rising Italian artist Alessandro Ciminata is back with yet another swoon-worthy tune following impressive singles ‘Wasted On Each Other’ and ‘Signs’. This time around we’re talking about ‘Lovers’, produced once again by Jack Gourlay and centered around Ciminata’s favourite muse - matters of the heart. With a reverby, spacious piano, the London-via-Milan songwriter searches the past in forlorn retrospect for the one who broke his heart, as yet he’s still pining over that unforgettable person. The raw recording accentuates the emotive quality of Ciminata’s accented voice and poetic words, “Your face says it all, / When I lose myself in your eyes, / Wanna be lovers tonight?” It’s easy to imagine this lo-fi gem executed in a live setting, and if you’d like to do more than daydream over ‘Lovers’ and happen to be in London on the 26th of March, then check out Alessandro Ciminata’s next headline gig here. - Hannah Thacker
