Eva Carboni is a singer from the Italian town of Sassari, Sardinia. She studied at the Vocal Power Academy in Los Angeles under the guidance of her vocal coach Elisabeth Howard (who coached Sting and Lionel Richie, among others). Besides her musical adventures, she is also the co-founder of the Birdland Jazz Club in Sardinia. In 2019, she debuted with the album "Italia Square" and is now working on her third album, produced by Andy Littlewood (also on guitar, bass, and keyboards) and featuring Andrius Linsdell (guitar, dobro, resonator guitar), Pete Nelson (drums), and Mick Simpson (guitar). Eva Carboni's musical style is rock, infused with bluesy influences. It's a style that sometimes evokes the work of Alannah Myles or Pat Benatar. The Alannah Myles sound is immediately apparent in the opening track, "South Wind Blow." A sultry, undulating track, gently propelling with Eva's powerful vocals and Andrius Linsdell's biting acoustic guitar. This is followed by the vicious, angular rocking "Stony Ground" featuring Mick Simpson's fiery guitar. "In The Name Of The Blues" is electrifying with Andrius Linsdell's warm dobro. "That Devil Man" is then a biting, pumping bluesy rock number, followed by the sultry, abrasive "Independence Street." Eva closes with the power ballad "We Come Alive," in which Mick Simpson's screeching guitar plays a starring role. Eva Carboni is a powerful singer from whom we'll be hearing a lot more. A great album indeed!
