Monica Giuntoli - Monica Loves Frank (2019)

"Monica loves Frank" was born as a tribute to Frank Sinatra, in which the nine tracks, carefully chosen from the less known and "inflated" repertoire of the American artist, take on a new "color" through a feminine interpretation. The undisputed star of the album is the voice of the Milanese singer, who, moving between the most melancholy and intimate moments and the most rhythmic performances, returns an intense and personal version of Sinatra's songs.

The album is enriched by the arrangements of Maestro Sante Palumbo, from the performances of the same to the piano and by Riccardo Fioravanti on the double bass and electric bass and Stefano "Brushman" Bagnoli on drums. "Monica loves Frank" was recorded and mixed at Indiehub by Stefano Giungato for Jasm Records and is distributed by Believe.
