Susanna Parigi passed away in December 2023, inherits a valuable discography, in particular her latest album.
It is not trivial and not even obvious to say that Susanna Paris was (and it will be forever) pure beauty. Disappeared on December 17, 2023, in the dismay of those who deeply loved her in its essence of musician, singer -songwriter and teacher, it leaves a human and artistic legacy of an invaluable value that, hopefully, does not go lost but recognized and protected.
Beautiful outside, beautiful inside, beautiful everywhere, in thirty -five years of career Susanna has traced a unique path characterized by talent, passion and truth, in awareness, respect and freedom of one's expression.
Susanna Paris made his debut in 1987 with the 45 rpm a ring of smoke engraved for IT; After the collaborations with Riccardo Cocciante, Claudio Baglioni, Fiorella Mannoia and Raf, in 1995 he published his first work produced by Vince Tempera which highlights his marked originality. In 1999, starting from the broken , he inaugurated the partnership with Kaballà who will continue in precious records such as differences , the insult of words , the secret language of women and finally apnea . Among these also a splendid free album to Enzo Jannacci ( the Saltimbanco and the Moon ) and another taken from the theatrical concert dedicated to the sacred ( from sound to invisible ).
Dear me, I am sleep , Susanna's latest work released in early November 2022 and produced by the Japanese Taketo Gohara , recalls in the title a quatrain of Michelangelo Buonarroti's "rhymes" who, to read it today, appears to be prophetic: " Dear M ' It is' sleep, and more to be stone, while the damage and shame lasts; Do not see, don't hear it is great fortune, but don't raise me, deh, speak low ».
Eight songs composed entirely by the Florentine singer -songwriter, an intimate, acute and wonderful concentrate of twenty -five minutes, in which it expressly addresses "to disoriented people, homeless, people who no longer feel belonging, who feel out of place by manifesting their exciting search in the Understanding what is there in this time that does not work and how to build sense ".
Very clear, direct, without frills words that enclose the substance of her continuous and permanent reflection translated into songs that is better to listen and listen with care and attention, each of which is presented by her through few and incisive lines. For the discs of Susanna Paris it is not necessary to find words or strive to find them.
Instead, it is a must pay attention to what he thinks by singing or what he sings thinking. There are not only sublime technique and thought, but there is a remarkable soul that supports everything. In a nutshell, perfection is shaved.
There is no best song, it is not possible to choose it. Each song is important, it should be internalized and assimilated, ground in the head and in the heart, where - stay certain - a dazzling and unquenchable light will turn on and shine.
"Singing is another thing,
you have to put your head,
intention,
substance,
I dare say intelligence,
even the soul is good
to know how to use it"
[from my God the singing lessons]
