R.Y.F. is the solo project of Francesca Morello, an Italian singer and guitar player based in Ravenna, Italy. R.Y.F. tries to give voice to all diversities, to queer community, to non binary people and to all fabulous creatures.

 

Born following a dazzling baptism in the mesmerizing sea of Stromboli, in Sicily, Deep Dark Blue, her new album, is an album of suffering and healing which confirms R.Y.F.’s destabilizing power. According to her: «Sometimes I experience moments of great suffering, in the last two years caused by my wife’s health problems. I was “broken inside” and I didn’t know if I would be able to go back to the way I was before. Deep Dark Blue tells how I felt and how I would like to rebuild myself. I still talk about the freedom to love, but I also felt the need to talk about suffering, and I tried to do all this with irony, in the most joyful way possible. And it worked. That’s why this is also a healing album».

In Deep Dark Blue there are also some important guests, underlining R.Y.F.’s rise in her international career. They are Moor Mother, Skin (Skunk Anansie) and Alos (aka Stefania Pedretti, formerly OvO and Allun), united by feminism, queerness and political activism, to get precious artistic affinities stronger in these hard times of new repression that we are experiencing.
