«Dalia is to me the intention and also the fear of perceiving your own weakness, the moment you can finally name it and face it, letting your loved ones help you». Italian singer-songwriter Sara Battaglini, with Federico Pierantoni (trombone) and Enrico Ronzani (piano), unveils human fragilities in her debut album “Dalia” (the Italian word for Dahlia), out May 17th on Auand label.

With either suspended tunes or stories made of sounds, the trio softens any corner to put music at the core of every track, through a deep work of mutual listening and exchange. «Dalia is a flower that expresses positive values – Sara Battaglini says – a feeling of sincere and genuine gratitude towards someone who supported us in times of instability and weakness. This concept album is about a path: rejecting solitude and suffering, and deciding to start again. To me, this is a personal journey to talk about myself, my shadows and my strengths, through images and stories».

With the firm intention to treat her voice like an instrument, her singing accompanies and interlaces with the other musicians: «No line is above the other: each track has been conceived or arranged in order for all of us to have a crucial but not prevailing role. We aim at always leaving enough room to express ourselves in every shade, including insecurities». A commitment that also involves double bass player Stefano Senni, appearing as a guest in two tracks.

Created in a jazz frame that dances with songs, through Italian or English lyrics, but also with purely instrumental tracks and contemporary music, “Dalia” does not rely solely on technique or music skills: the human side and the honesty of this story are clear in every episode, especially “Conchiglie” and the delicate, dark final track, “Closing”.
