 SwingNation Records and the VizzTone label group are very proud to announce the release of GINA SICILIA‘s new CD, Can’t Control Myself.
Young Philadelphia songstress Gina Sicilia exploded onto the scene in 2007, as her debut CD, Allow Me to Confess, was met with joyous acclaim by fans and critics alike. She was heralded as a distinctive new voice in the Blues, as well as an insightful songwriter and interpreter of neglected classics in the Rhythm & Blues canon. In 2008 she was nominated for “Best New Artist Debut” at the Blues Music Awards in Memphis, Tennessee, just as her sophomore release Hey Sugar proved her also to be a legitimate contender in the worlds of Classic Country and Americana.
With her new 2011 release, Can’t Control Myself, Gina broadens her stylistic palette, infusing even more Soul and Americana into her bedrock influences of Blues and R&B. This CD features seven new Gina Sicilia compositions, as well as three choice covers borrowed from Bobby Bland, Stevie Wonder, and Ike & Tina Turner. Gina’s singing and songwriting continue to break new ground, showing remarkable depth, power, and seemingly unstoppable growth. Can’t Control Myself was produced and engineered by Gina’s label mate, the insanely talented VizzTone/SwingNation artist Dave Gross, who also played every instrumental track on the record except for trumpet, sax, and one lap-steel track.
The genre-defying Gina Sicilia continues to smash pigeonholes into kindling and redefine the boundaries of soulful music.
Can’t Control Myself is now available in stores as well as the usual online outlets and Digital Service Providers, and autographed on our website! |
