Barbagianni are a two-piece synth pop band from Ireland who have recently shared their third single “Queen Of Verona.” The track features the vocals of Amy Naessens, a funky bassline, vibrant synths, and a grooviness that brings together the worlds of disco and 2010s indie synthpop.
It’s a track that instantly bursts out of the speakers with a colorful sparkling energy and vintage influence that soars with some impeccible production that brings it all to life with ease. It’s a finely formed track that feels like its from a band thats been around for a decade – not their third single. Traces of bands like Yumi Zouma and Mr Twin Sister come to mind, with plenty of room to forge a pathway of their own.
Speaking on the track, the band adds:
Our third single ‘Queen Of Verona’ brings us back to our roots, using funky basslines and sparkly guitars to lay down an electro-infused disco groove.
Working with Amy Naessens, writer of our last single ‘Out Of My Head’, we chose the setting of Verona, Romeo and Juliet’s fateful meeting place, as an opportunity to write our first duet. We brought in long-time friend of the band and our mixing engineer Gary O’Reilly, to offer up a darker take on Amy’s lyrics and explore the challenges young lovers face. The result is an upbeat yet melancholic dance track that echoes Robyn’s Dancing On My Own and Metronomy’s Summer ‘08.
