{"product_id":"ducci-michele-sive-cd","title":"Ducci, Michele - Sive (CD) |","description":"‘SIVE’ is a lovingly crafted collection of heartfelt songs by Michele Ducci, focusing primarily on piano and Michele’s soft, soulful vocals.\n\nMichele Ducci was the ‘M’ in the electro-pop duo ‘M+A’, who released two albums on Monotreme, the second of which, ‘These Days’, earned the band a place in The Guardian’s ‘best new bands of 2014’ list and saw them win the Glastonbury Emerging Talent Competition and perform live on the Pyramid Stage, as well as at the Venice Biennale.\n\nThe duo then formed a new project, Santii, which involved several Hip Hop artists including Rejjie Snow, Mick Jenkins and Music Producer Supah Mario (Drake, Young Thug), releasing two EPs on Italian label Sugar Records before going their separate ways.\n\n\"I went back to the house where I was born and where I first started playing. After the pandemic I had practically no instruments anymore except a guitar with three strings and a pianola. I needed to make a record that I had never been able to make and that I had always dreamed of making. Something very essential: with the piano and the voice.\" A set of demos emerged, which he sent to Monotreme Records, with whom he had enjoyed working in the past.\n\n‘SIVE’ encompasses a range of styles, from the dreamy singer\/songwriter tones of ‘Feelings’, ‘Here You Are’, and ‘Nonesome’ to the uptempo pop of ‘You Lay the Path’, RnB-infused ‘Just Because’ and percussive Beat poetry of ‘Hic’. Album opener, ’River’, is a poignant ballad that winds along like its title, opening with the quiet intimacy of hushed vocals and piano and detailing the time he desired to leave the music world behind: “They call my name but I’m a river”.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel: Monotreme Records\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCatalog Number: CD-MONO-228\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ducci, Michele","offers":[{"title":"- ALT\/INDIE *NEW*","offer_id":45077107409011,"sku":"ANC5FS-W0LC-AU","price":13.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0500\/7837\/files\/alt-indie-new_PRWzi.jpg?v=1780859208","url":"https:\/\/www.lovevinylrecords.com\/products\/ducci-michele-sive-cd","provider":"Love Vinyl Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
