Petrina
Press reviews

April 2014

AMADEUS

"Her most original album for compositions, lyrics and arrangements are In Doma, self -producted in 2009 and Petrina in 2013 for AlaBianca, both various, sparkling and changeable...

I suggest to buy them blind."

Franco Fayenz

December 2013

JAZZ 'N MORE (Germany)

"Her voice is plastic and highly expressive, her lyrics are much personal and rich of content, her musical style here shows up as a mature experimental rock, with a strong push toward jazz.  You will still hear of Petrina, also and perhaps expecially out of Italy."

Ruedi Ankli

September 2013

L'ISOLA CHE NON C'ERA

"If we should tell to whom Debora Petrina looks like, we could simply say that she damn looks like herself."

Fabio Antonelli

September 2013

GIUDIZIO UNIVERSALE

"A perfect combination of lyrics musicality and instrumental atmospheres, that in many pieces reminds of Fiona Apple."

Simone Pilotti

June 2013

MUSICA JAZZ

"Petrina confirms to be an artist with a deep substance, and her songs are many microcosms rich of details." 

Enrico Bettinello

May 2013

IL MUCCHIO

"With her excellent, eponymous, second album Petrina is intended to go even further. There where barriers of genre, language or thinking do not exist." 

Elena Raugei

May 2013

ROCKERILLA

"It's absolutely not rare that a classical training persuades to snub all that is out of the so-called erudite music's standards. Nevertheless this doesn't seem to be Debora Petrina's case."

Elio Bussolino

May 2013

SUONO

"Even when her voice becomes warmer, she maintains that nervousness which puches the skin, now like a pin, now like a sweet acupuncture."

David Drago

May 2013

SUONI E STRUMENTI

"This album causes interest, titillates the brain, is various and thrilling in the arrangements."

Stefano Bonagura

May 2013

RELICS-CONTROSUONI

"Petrina is a record that never gets boring and tremendously progressive (that genius David Byrne also had a hand in it), perhaps even too much for mere mortals."

Stefano Capolongo

Elena Raugei

BLOW UP

"Petrina is a mine of diamonds and each song sparkles with a different sheen. A great artist."

Stefano Quario

April 2013

LOST HIGHWAYS

"Petrina could be compared to that kind of novel that doesn't conclude, because it sees the only way to know in the multiple and in its exploration."

Catia Manna

April 2013

DISTORSIONI

"A unique and fascinating artist, as I said at the beginning. Infinite Love."

Ricardo Martillos

May 2014

L FATTO QUOTIDIANO

"In this second album Petrina puts in place all her musical colture, that is not only huge, but it's live and it pulsates, it's gas and sounding power of a mix in which the unplugged blend with the electric and with and electronic that becomes distrubing guerrilla, as the harmony -as the freedom- must be in the conflict."

Lello Voce

October 2013

BIGBOX

"Pianist with a  classic and contemporary strong training, Debora Petrina has established herself as a rock experimental and avantgarde songwriter, tags that are not to be taken serously, if we consider Petrina's light and playful approach."

Piero Chianura

September 2013

STRUMENTI MUSICALI

"First of all, there is her voice, powerful, ductile, much expressive. rich of hues. As her music: author-rock veined by chamber music and electronics."

Roberto Valentino

July 2013

IL MANIFESTO

"Impossible to be caged, her foaming spirit whirrs in Petrina (Ala Bianca/Warner) electro, rock, funky, prog, marching band rythms and jazz."

Jessica Dainese

May 2013

IL GIORNALE

"The best is that albums like this come to terms with music. To be listened."

May 2013

ALL ABOUT JAZZ

Margherita Zorzi

Ricardo Martillos

May 2013

Giuseppe Verrini

Gabriele Caruolo
