Fanelly - Metro Stories (2021)

"The Metro has always haunted and intrigued me with its endless flow of people travelling from one place to the next, carrying their energies, emotions, and their stories. They are strangers that drift into our lives for just a moment."

It was during her daily commute in the city of Paris that Fanelly conceived the melodies and lyrics of the songs in this debut album, capturing her passing thoughts and imagined stories as she travelled through the sea of faces.

A creative work triggered and influenced by two tragic events: the Paris terrorist attacks in 2015 and the loss of her father in 2016.

"These events left me with a deep sense of loss, fragility, and the temporary nature of life. I explored these themes both musically and lyrically as I pondered the life, hopes, dreams, dramas and the secrets behind the masks of the metro commuters."

Recorded between Italy and France, with a line-up of new talents of the current French and Italian jazz scene, METRO STORIES is a touching emotional jazz-pop album, so personal, with pure arrangements and daily «heroes» in search of identity and truth…
