NEW PRODUCTIONS

Mark Harris has begun preproduction in Milan on gifted singer-songwriter Erika Cecchini's first album. He says that not only does she have a beautiful brooding dark voice and stunning stage presence, but also scores of great songs just begging to be arranged with brilliant new ones springing up full-born every week; "looks like we'll have to do a 12-disc box set if she doesn't slow down... this stuff is all so gorgeous". Erika's musical background ranges from Northern Celtic and Provençal folk to modern sophisticated female rock balladeers, with thoughtful autobiographical lyrics rendered in a direct but always rich style.
