2011 saw a lot of young prospects, and among those prospects were Cinzia Ricci. A lot have called the Italian born songstress the biggest success story of 2011 following her very successful debut single Italian Hearted which is attacking the charts and surged to number 2 a few weeks ago just under Electrodeaths 'When Your Heart Is Not Open'. Although the single served as her debut a lot of people remember Cinzia. First for having a hot rivalry with boy band the Stat Nerds in 2010 and then aligning herself with 'The House Movement'. All these big openings for the star seem to hit walls and not much was really looking good for Ricci's career as a singer.

That didn't stop her however, she quickly returned back to her home country and back to the United States, and the United Kingdom as well as doing club dates all over Europe and her biggest break came in 2011 when Cynthia Sanchez signed her to Shooting Star Records, and then Monk On Fire Music label heads stepped over SSR and demanded a 50/50 deal and the contract was inked and the rest was history, Italian Hearted is doing great on charts and it brings us to now.... Are there anymore walls that Cinzia is going to run into? We don't think so.

Ride of a Lifetime is the next release from the very talented and hungry underdog that was written by herself and produced by George King and brings us through the beauty of Euro-Pop and Trance music. Its start off in a slow, shy, lullaby esque beat that eventually builds up into a full blown Trance expedition as Cinzia sings in a beautiful and high soprano vocal range, singing about her ride through fame, sort of like a ride of a lifetime. She sings about how she has finally reached her own greatness, and that she has finally started accomplishing all the feints that she wanted and how she was made fun of as a girl with an Italian accent but now look at her, she's having the ride of a lifetime.

Pretty inspirational right? What we like about the song is that its soft, its a quick, yet a ballad heavy trance song that shows off the best of Cinzia's vocal chords and emotion and many artists of today couldn't sing such a tricky and high vocal ranged song. Ride Of A Lifetime outshines Italian Hearted in our eyes because it has a deep message behind it and could light up radio airwaves as well as the dance floor with the unforgettable production by George King. The music makes you feel uplifted and happy, and that's the tone of the song, matching perfectly with the songs message.



The song goes to a new high after Cinzia belts away a long and almost 8 second F5 soprano note followed by another build up into a blast of trance and europop sounds that seemingly go on until the end of the song.

Cinzia once again shows us that all the hunger she's feeling is spilling out onto her music she's hear to stay and shes hear to stay with a message! What do you think? The song is available this Sunday!!!
