It's obvious what my musical niche is. Hadn't I known of SONOIO prior to listening to Red, I would have thought the mastermind behind the solo project was a woman. Not because I'm a strong feminist or anything like that (although you can quiz me on my suffragette knowledge), but because of the incredible vocal range that Alessandro Cortini presents in his tunes.
Bells might ring with Cortini's name, having toured and recorded with industrial-rockers Nine Inch Nails in earlier years, as well as contributing to another two bands; Modwheelmood and Blindoldfreak. However, SONOIO (the name comes from the Italian phrase "Sono io" meaning "it's me") is Cortini's most recent project and - as the name suggests, he's been producing it solo.
