Captain Boy is the alter ego of Pedro Ribeiro, a Portuguese musician and composer who sings stories that transcend time. With the guitar on his shoulder and a gritty voice, he departs from folk music to rediscover it in the fluidity of the 21st century’s music genres.
Announced in the beginning of 2019, through the single ‘Balloons and Melodies’, the new album’s release was accompanied by the publication of the video for ‘I Left My Shoes Outside’, a song about that discomfort that comes upon us when we need to be (sometimes, brutally) honest with the ones we love. Before ‘Memories and Bad Photographs’, there had been ‘1’, released in early 2017, and a homonymous 4 song EP, released in 2015.
Listening to Violetta Zironi one can immediately tell her talent for melodies and their power of taking her listeners on a journey.. She makes you feel like you're watching a movie directed and musically composed by her.
By moving between french chanson pop to songs that just feature her raw vocals in combination with just a guitar, then paired with classical elements for the big finish her music tickles all the senses and leaves you in awe.
