Charlie Risso

Charlie Risso moves through shadows and light, blending dark folk and dream-pop into hypnotic rituals of sound and emotion. Her new chapter unfolds with Bad Instinct — recorded and produced with Mattia Cominotto at GreenFog Studio — a first glimpse into her upcoming album, where her dark-folk vision expands toward a deeper, more cinematic form. The forthcoming record will also feature Brian Lopez (Calexico) on selected tracks, while her previous album Alive (2024) — created in collaboration with Hugo Race (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Dirtmusic) and released through T3 Records — established her as one of the most distinctive voices in the European cinematic scene. International media have praised her singular intensity: Psychedelic Baby Magazine described her work as “a mesmerizing collection of powerful ballads”; Female Voices (DE) called it “a cinematic sound universe where poetry and melancholy dance together”; and Bluesbunny Music Reviews (UK) noted its “rare emotional gravity and cathartic atmosphere.” Ethereal yet grounded, Charlie Risso sculpts silence into devotion — a haunting presence that turns vulnerability into ritual, and darkness into light.
