SINGLE REVIEW: CLAUDIA FENOGLIO “19 AGAIN”

Inspired by the coming-of-age music and artists, “19 Again” has a weary, laid-back mood, exploring a vulnerable, youthful feeling. At the edge of a change in narrative, when you consciously make the choice that no longer resonates with the past or others, the theme of leaving something behind yet being completely alone facing the new challenges can be overwhelming.
“19 Again” exposes the nerves and the pulsing veins to their most vulnerable and captured the beautiful, poetic moment of becoming. Earthy guitar and intimate vocal; vague and smooth backing vocal feels like it’s there but it’s not. Its rich, balanced vibe brings you into a lazy afternoon of a live performance in the drowsy ears, circling in the dreamful, ethereal soundscape.
Claudia Fenoglio dives a little deeper into Deja Vu and memory in “19 Again.” The vivid, visual component in its lyricism immediately triggers our memories of other senses, interacting with touch, smell, feel through the little, specific details.
The fear of going through something traumatic and overwhelming again is a powerful thing. It almost puts you right back into a pastime where the hurt and loneliness are still soft and vulnerable.
