New music for 2015 ..... I don’t know what accounts for the nine years that lapsed between
Carol Riddick’s stunning debut, Moments Like This, and her excellent follow up, Love Phases. But then too, I kinda do. It’s probably the story of funding issues and life issues. But mainly funding, or trying to muster up enough cash to ensure that Love Phases is a record that conforms to the Philly native’s creative vision. Admittedly, I’m just speculating.
Listening back to her 2006 roll out, I’m sure that plenty of Riddick fans expended all the patience that they could muster as they waited for the sequel, and their patience has been rewarded with the solid sophomore effort, Love Phases. This new project reveals that Riddick possessed the confidence in her ability as an artist to make the kind of subtle yet noticeable changes that always carry the risk of alienating long-time fans without any assurance that she will be able to replace them with new ones.

Papik (Itallian Band) is a musical project born from an idea of the arranger and composer Roman Nerio Poggi, author and producer ranging from pop to nu-jazz , from Bossa Nova to the Soul and that has worked among others, with Mario Biondi in album Handful of Soul as a co-author of the song Gig and I Love You More which appears as the author of the songs and Rebirth Monlight in July, is also an arranger in the song that gives the title track I Love You More . The choice of name Papik originates from a nickname given to small Nerio from the mother, that after seeing the scene of the birth of the baby in the film Papik of Nicholas Ray White Shadows, noticed the similarity between the two. In 2009 he published the debut album Rhythm of Life Irma Records that contains the single Staying For Good sung by Alan Scaffardi '.
