Francesca Pichierri – “Cellule Stronze”

Hey everyone! Our close readers know how much I love Spanish and Italian music, so I have to tell you about this amazing release that I’ve been on repeat lately, Francesca Pichierri’s “Cellule Stronze”. Honestly, this is one of the most emotionally powerful pieces of music I’ve heard this year so far and I’m sure you will love it.

What Pichierri has done here is something truly special, but don’t let that heavy subject matter scare you away from the album which tells the deeply personal story of her mother’s battle with ovarian cancer. This isn’t just music about illness, it’s about love, resilience, and finding light in the darkest moments. I always love music that has meaning and makes you think about every word not just listen.

“Nel Dolore Cerca La” was the standout track and floored me. This is this beautiful downtempo synthpop ballad that starts with these meditative, almost ethereal sounds and then slowly builds into something that feels like you’re slow dancing in a dimly lit gymnasium. Francesca’s voice breaks into these raw, anguished screams on the bridge and it’s an emotional crescendo that captures pain and frustration in a way that’s both heartbreaking and cathartic.

You can hear her refusing to stick to one genre throughout the album. She’s always changing the sound to fit the emotional weight of each moment, building these intimate sonic worlds that suck you right into her family’s story. It’s also incredibly detailed in production – she even includes real conversations with her mother in the outro of songs which adds this layer of authenticity that makes everything feel so immediate and real.

After listening to this album, you need to follow Francesca on social media to keep up with what she’s releasing next because if this album is any indication of her artistic trajectory, 2025 is going to be an incredible year for her music.
