Strength is a duet and official single by recording artists Cinzia Ricci and Sabina. "Strength" will be released on April 13th, 2020 from Sabina's upcoming studio album "ELECTROHEART", an album which is set for a April 2020 release date. "Strength" is the 3rd official single from the album and was written by Drake "mister_b" Zaslavsky with production from mister_b and The Wolverines. "Strength" also marks the first release from Cinzia Ricci in over five years.

It's certainly been a while since we last heard of anything musically from Cinzia Ricci, aside from the surprises we got at the last Fan Choice Awards. For ones who do know, Cinzia Ricci has was able to achieve super star status as one of the main prospects of "The House Movement" in 2011 all the while becoming the big breakout star from the group of electronic based artists. The others, DJ Night who produced for Desiree, and DJ Cloud for Cinzia. They all experienced some type of success with Desiree Shapiro even branching off to do other types of music but has since been quiet.

The true star was Cinzia Ricci, who before then was founded by record label Shooting Aces and after leaving the label the Italian sensation signed with then label, Shooting Star Records and stayed with the label until they closed. With the label, Cinzia Ricci certified herself as the proclaimed "Queen Of House" churning out hit after hit. Starting with Italian Hearted and going on to release numerous hits including Ride Of A Lifetime, Fist Pumps From Florence, The World Is Mine, and You Can't Stop Me Now just to name a few. Cinzia's debut album "What You've Been Waiting For" was massive and really catapulted Cinzia Ricci. Cinzia Ricci and DJ Cloud famously broke up in 2012 for reasons we still do not know of as of today and Cinzia continued to go on strong without him by her side. After Burning Desire, Cinzia reverted to making festival appearances and posting sporadically across her social media's.

While Cinzia stepped away from the spotlight, Sabina emerged as another Dance artist able make a name for herself. Sabina was instantly compared to Cinzia Ricci due solely to the fact that Sabina also worked with producers closely linked to Cinzia (DJ Cloud and The Wolverines). Instead of the girls using this as a point of conflict, they instantly became friendly with one another after Cinzia meeting eachother in the studio one day in 2015. Cinzia had just penned the song with mister_b after it was intended to be a collaboration with Cinzia and Magie, however, Magie had stepped away from music and Cinzia decided to go ahead with the recording of the song when she saw Sabina in a studio in Miami. Cinzia and Sabina posted a selfie together that same day and reached out to Sabina to work together. Cinzia had initially wrote the song with mister_b some years prior and Cinzia gave Sabina the record for her album as Cinzia "didn't have plans to release it". Strength was initially recorded in 2017 but was re-recorded in 2019 with additional mastering from The Wolverines and additional adlibs and vocals from both Sabina and Cinzia.

Strength is the perfect song to really catch everyone's attention while offering inspirational lyrics especially during this time dealing with a world health pandemic. It's a song about finding that inner strength in ourselves with lyrics that help in finding empowerment and optimism . It's fresh, captivating and calls the attention of the listener right away. Soon as silky beats start off, Sabina wastes no time starting the track off with silky vocals. The beats are bouncy, tropical, and light yet sharp in tone. The production during it's chorus features drum and horn instrumentation and a repetitve, catchy chorus that sees Sabina and Cinzia singing inspirational lyrics blow for blow with one another. Cinzia takes over the track for the second verse of the song. Cinzia's has a raspier tone then Sabina's and their differences in vocals makes for the perfect mixture when they trade vocals with one another. Cinzia sings the second half of the song and they share the fast paced, suspenseful bridge before the girls sing the final chorus together.

S T R E N G T H

Weight on my shoulders
I walk slower
Marks of all that I’ve experienced
No hard feelings
I keep on dreaming
I learnt how to be resilient

I don’t complain this life
And I wouldn't change the past
I don’t live with regrets
I won’t complain my life
And choices I made

We all make mistakes
So don’t complain your life, my friend
You’re here to stay
We share the pain
Don’t complain your life, dear friend
Don’t lose your faith
Where’s your strength?
C’mon, where’s your strength?

(Beat Drop)
C’mon, where’s your strength?
C'mon, find your strength
C’mon, where’s your strength?
C'mon, find your strength

I was blind of sorrow
I was hurt and alone
I was lost in denial
But in the darkest hour
We find the missing power
We know we’re capable

I won’t complain this life
And I won’t change the past
I won’t live with regrets
I won’t complain my life
And choices I made

We all make mistakes
So don’t complain your life, my friend
You’re here to stay
We share the pain
Don’t complain your life, dear friend
Don’t lose your faith
Where’s your strength?
C’mon, where’s your strength?

(Beat Drop)
C’mon, where’s your strength?
C'mon, find your strength
C’mon, where’s your strength?
C'mon, find your strength

Yeah, life is so hard sometimes
(Life can be unfair to our eyes)
Life can be unfair to our eyes
But life is unique
Life is only
(Unfair to our eyes, life is so hard sometimes)
Don’t lose your faith
Find your strength


We all make mistakes
So don’t complain your life, my friend
You’re here to stay
We share the pain
Don’t complain your life, dear friend
Don’t lose your faith
Where’s your strength?
C’mon, where’s your strength?

(Beat Drop)
C’mon, where’s your strength?
C'mon, find your strength
C’mon, where’s your strength?
C'mon, find your strength
