Maria has been a central figure in the UK electronic, classical and jazz worlds since moving to London from Rome. Closer is her next sonic evolution since the release of her debut solo album, Forest City. She has had music featured in the Netflix series, Elite, and has fans including Four Tet and Gilles Peterson.
Closer is a testament to Maria’s journey of self-exploration alongside a manifestation of her profound connection with music. It’s an indescribable feeling that compelled her to create the album. It transcended boundaries and traverses the spectrum of electronic music with unparalleled depth and clarity.
Maria speaks about Closer:
“It is about a feeling, a dreamlike feeling in motion, a feeling that we cannot describe, a dream I’m sort of walking through. Emotions/dreams/feelings that sometimes you can just imagine, a dreamlike world where we walk through to get to the core of ourselves a bit more, even if things are completely undefined and blurry. While working on the music there was this strong feeling: at times blurry and at times more defined; of getting, with every single note, closer and closer to the person I want to be. Free. Curious and consequently Aware, Connected and Closer to the people I love. There is so much noise in this world, I think being direct, gentle, light, open and connected is the key.”
