NEW SINGLE NOT MY SONG OUT NOW

Not my song is the new single by Claudia Is On The Sofa, released December 9 on Riff Records (Italy) and Solaris Empire (Berlin).
 
Not My Song is the second of the two singles that tell the I'm not concept: "what I am not and what I don't want to be".
 
The first single The Match has been well received by international radios such as BBC6 UK and performed in international festivals such as Liverpool Sound City, by the Italian songwriter.
 
Not My Song is the ballad of the silences, of the unspoken words and facts never acted that create what we are. The artist says: “This is the song of those who no longer want to be told what they should be and what they should do. It is not a revolution; it is a fact”.
 
The song is composed by Claudia Ferretti and produced by Alessandro “Asso” Stefana (who collaborates with PJ Harvey and Vinicio Capossela among others).
 
"I am not a love song, I am not a wife and not even a mother. I’m not what you want me to be. But I’m sure that I'm not the worst at all" Sings Claudia Is On The Sofa.
 
The languid sounds of the mellotron creep in and emerge delicately in the warmth of the guitar, which cradles and warms the listener in the sonic journey of the sophisticated vocalism of Claudia Is On the Sofa.
 
An intimate dimension that was enhanced by Alessandro "Asso" Stefana, producer of the two singles, recording each instrument live, paying attention to the sound and the atmosphere in which to immerse the listener.

Director's notes by Cristian Filippini
I immediately imagined this song as a dialogue in the mirror with the unconscious that simultaneously represents one's inner self, but also every single person that Claudia could have been on a daily basis or that others would like her to be: a good wife, a mother, a caregiver.
Claudia in black and white, the unconscious and the "others", contrasts with Claudia in real and strong colors who becomes aware of what she does not want to be, with all due respect to those who will be disappointed.
Everything revolves around a drawn / watercolor mirror that represents the confrontation with oneself and the outside world, in a game of reflections with black and white and grainy shots shot by the author with selfies in which she mirrors herself in the world.
A video with magical and dreamy features to observe from the inside and outside, from the eye of a smartphone or a mirror, singing: "I let my nature be. It's not that hard or crazy to watch me even if I'm not your mirror ”sings Claudia Is On The Sofa.

new single the match out now

OUT NOW ON ALL THE PLATFORMS
The match is the first of the new singles by Claudia Is On The Sofa that together tell I'm not: what I am not and what I don't want to be.
“I wont be a good wife or a mother and not even a romantic love song. I know, I could even do better, but this is my match and it doesn't scare me”, she sings.
"I'm not a goddess I'm not a star and that's okay".

Born in silence, in the closed and at the same time infinite spaces of sofa music, The Match is a meeting and clash between the songwriter with an American heart and herself: "between me and me, between you and me, between what I want and what I can”.

The Video
Words, papers and thoughts collect what I was and what I am no longer. An aesthetic pleasure and discovery towards a landscape similar to true human nature, the "wild" one. An aesthetic story, but also ironic and playful in which reality joins the imagination with the drawings and watercolors by Manuela Samperi and directed by Cristian Filippini.
