Avant-pop star Caroline Polachek will begin work on a new album project "Desire, I Want to Turn Into You" in several countries (and tour with Dua Lipa), rethinking what the album cycle means in the process.

At a residence birthday party in Rome now not lengthy ago, Caroline Polachek heard a music that struck her deeply. “Ti Sento” (“I Hear You”), the 1985 single through Italian pop crew Matia Bazar, is height Eighties Europop kitsch: sparkling synth-pop paired with big, operatic vocals.

Polachek thinks a lot about divas (she loves Celine Dion for “how she exists as an icon, and how pure and comforting and stable that is”), and the overall performance via Matia Bazar’s singer, Antonella Ruggiero, grew to be a primary touchstone for her. “She’s simply giving everything, and the music climbs up greater into these different keys,” Polachek says.

“There is this feeling in her vocal overall performance that her eyes are gonna pop out of her skull, it’s so intense. It’s like she’s being electrocuted. That tune type of grew to be a flashlight for me in phrases of the place I desired to go and what I desired to try.”
