Veronica Fusaro is the singer-songwriter with a powerful voice and distinctive sound. Born to a Swiss mother and an Italian father, she brings a unique blend of contrasting influences to her music, creating alternative pop infused with touches of soul and rock. Her debut album All the Colours Of The Sky(released in January 2023) reached number five on the Swiss charts and captivated both fans and critics alike. Out of over 500 performances, she has opened for Dire Straits legend Mark Knopfler at the Amphitheater in Nîmes, played at the Glastonbury Festival, at the Montreux Jazz Festival and she concluded 2023 with a sold-out concert at Kaufleuten in Zurich. With her strong stage presence and performance, she mesmerises her audience: raw, fascinating, and skillfully balancing the depth and playfulness of her music. The single Slot Machine is the prelude to her second album, set to be released in 2025.
Here’s Veronica’s most inspiring songs…
Vasco Rossi – Sally
I grew up listening to Vasco Rossi, so his music will always hold a special place in my heart. There’s something about this song, in particular, that gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. The lyrics are so raw and honest, the melodies are powerful yet tender. It’s one of those songs that instantly transports me back to certain memories and feelings, reminding me why his music has meant so much to me over the years.
Nina Simone – I Put A Spell On You
This song as well as Nina Simone herself are truly timeless. The arrangement is cinematic, filled with dramatic swells and moments of tension that feel worthy of a movie soundtrack. The orchestration feels very hypnotic. Definitely on my forever-favourites-playlist.
Redwine Supernova – Chapell Roan
I haven’t been this excited about pop music in a long time, but Chappell Roan has a way of tapping into something that feels fresh and electrifying. Red Wine Supernova brings a sense of joy and nostalgia that just makes me feel genuinely happy every time I listen. Her lyrics are fun and relatable and her vocals are great.
Are You Looking Up – Mk.gee
My guitarist introduced me to Mk.gee – and let me tell you, I am so glad he told me about him. I love his sonics, his lyrics too actually. Can’t wait to hear more!
Ribbons – Ryan Beatty
The first time I heard this song, I probably listened to it on repeat about 10 times. Something about it made me long for more and more, in a very comforting, beautiful way.
