Chiara Civello Biography

Total Page：16

File Type：pdf, Size：1020Kb

Chiara Civello was born in Rome, but as soon as she turned 18 she left for the United States to attend Berklee College of Music in Boston and soon became the first Italian artist to record for Verve Records. Her first album was produced by Russ Titelman, who discovered her in NYC. A great result of the Boston-NY days are the 10 songs of her recording debut Last Quarter Moon (Verve 2005), seven of which written by her and three in collaboration with other artists, including the great ballad Trouble, written with Burt Bacharach. Her debut granted her with a first world tour, making her hit the Japanese and Italian charts. The second album The Space Between, produced by Steve Addabbo and Pete Rende (Universal Jazz and Classics, 2007), showed us in an intimate-acoustic setting, another aspect of Chiara’s music. 13 songs such as Un passo dopo l’altro, Night, and If You Ever Think of Me, make us feel we can get really close to her. The third album, 7752 (Universal Jazz and Classics 2010), marks an important new step in Chiara’s career: a geographic move to Brazil. Produced by latin pop producer Andres Levin, 7752 featured a great cast of musicians like Jaques Morelenbaum on the cello and strings arrangement (Tom Jobim, Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Ruichi Sakamoto), Mark Ribot on guitar, Mauro Refosco as a percussionist (Thom Yorke, David Byrne, Red Hot Chili Peppers) and Anat Cohen on sax and clarinet. In 2012 Chiara took part in the Sanremo Festival, the biggest Italian TV musical event, with a song written with Italian/Spanish songwriter Diana Tejera. That gave the title to her fourth studio Album: Al posto del mondo. The same year the song Problemi/Problemas interpreted by Ana Carolina, already soundtrack of the Soap Opera Fina estampa, won the Multishow prize for best song of 2012 in Brazil. 2013 consolidated Chiara’s presence in Brazil, due to a long series of performances in a very intimate Live Show called Solo+ (Sola ma non troppo). With Canzoni, her fifth studio album, Chiara Civello, for the first time stands out in the unedited role of “torch singer” and interprets the Italian repertoire like we never heard before. .

18iaspm.wordpress.com 1 2 18th Biennial IASPM Conference Contents Dear IASPM Delegates, It is with great pleasure that UNICAMP (Universidade Estadual de Campinas) will host this important academic event aimed at the study of popular music. With the subject: Back to the Future: Popular Music in Time, the Conference will gather more than 200 researchers from countries of all continents who will present and discuss works aimed at the study of sonority, styles, performances, contents, production contexts and popular music consumption. IASPM periodically carries out, since 1981 – year which was founded – regular meetings and the publication of the works contributing to the creation of a new academic field targeted to the study of this medium narrative modality of syncretic and multidimensional nature, which has been consolidated along the last 150 years as component element of the contemporary culture. We hope that this Conference will represent another step in the consolidation of this field which has already achieved worldwide coverage. For the Music Department of the Arts Institute of UNICAMP, to carry out the 18th Conference brings special importance as it created the first Graduation Course in Popular Music of Brazil, in 1989, making this University a reference institution in these studies. UNICAMP is located in the District of Barão Geraldo, in the city of Campinas – SP. This region showed great development at the end of XIX century and beginning of XX century due to the coffee farming expansion. Nowadays it presents itself as an industrial high-tech center. Its cultural life is intense, being music one of the most relevant activities.

Chiara Civello Returns to the US with “Eclipse” Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) Chiara Civello Returns to the US with “Eclipse” Monica Straniero (April 08, 2019) The artist will present Eclipse, the sixth album of her luminous career, that began with jazz improvisation and continued following the thread of contamination. IN LINGUA ITALIANA >> [2] After four years, Chiara Civello, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Roman native turned citizen of the world, returns to the United States, the birthplace of Jazz, where she received her formation as a singer and musician. April 16 at DC’s IIC [3], April 17 at Boston’s Regattabar [4]. These are the dates of Chiara’s American Page 1 of 3 Chiara Civello Returns to the US with “Eclipse” Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) tour, during which she will present Eclipse, the sixth album of her luminous career, that began with jazz improvisation and continued following the thread of contamination. Her enthusiasm and excitement, Chiara reveals, hasn’t changed since, little more than a teenager, she first appeared on the stages of the East Coast. Eclipse is produced by Marc Collin [5] of Nouvelle Vague [6] and features covers and new songs made in collaboration with artists such as Francesco Bianconi, Dimartino, Cristina Donà e Diana Tejera. It’s an homage to classic italian songs and to the soundtracks of films from the 1960s and 1970s. The artist’s international pop roots and Collin’s French-Touch (who inserted electric basses and synths in the album) blend with perfection, creating a refined work, minimal and vintage, that in no moment feels cheesy.
