Francesca Morello<\/strong>, aka\u00a0R.Y.F.<\/strong>, ha released\u00a0her new album\u00a0Everything Burns<\/em><\/strong>, out on CD, vinyl and all digital platforms on\u00a0September 10th, 2021\u00a0for\u00a0Bronson Recordings<\/strong>, led by the singles\u00a0Cassandra<\/em><\/a>,\u00a0Normal Is Boring<\/em>\u00a0(feat. So Beast),\u00a0Not Going Anywhere<\/a><\/em>\u00a0and the\u00a0new\u00a0Don’t Panic\u00a0<\/em>with a new video directed by\u00a0Simona Diacci Trinity premiered on Clout<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Thematically, R.Y.F\u2019s\u00a0Everything Burns<\/em>\u00a0is a radical confluence of\u00a0rage and joy<\/strong>; sonically, it is a pressure-cooked combo of\u00a0dance and punk<\/strong>. The fourth album from the solo project of Italy\u2019s Francesca Morello,\u00a0Everything Burns\u00a0<\/em>refuses to be confined by genre or emotional extremes, and is instead the synchronistic coexistence of opposites. It is music you could dance or destroy a room to, a cathartic balance of suffering and jubilation\u2014an electropunk disco steeped in\u00a0queer, feminist subversion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis album is for people who feel uncomfortable because of what they are\u2014because other people tell them they are wrong,<\/em>\u201d says Morello. Queer and nonbinary and speaking directly to an audience of the marginalized, Morello combines \u201cfiction and reality\u201d to imbue individual feeling into mythological battles, inviting listeners to see themselves in an ever-important and painful human struggle for survival and acceptance. \u201cI want people to know you are never alone, even if you feel that way sometimes.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Everything Burns<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0electrifies R.Y.F.\u2019s anti-patriarchal position with unrelenting support for the underclass and a defiant hope in the future the people can build together. Pain is weaponized, and vulnerability is redefined not as a weakness, but a threat to the ruling class. The result is an explosive testament to the power of community and unguarded artistic expression. \u201cEverybody has a role to play,<\/em>\u201d says Morello, \u201cMy message is my voice.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Everything Burns<\/em>\u00a0is R.Y.F.\u2019s first foray into\u00a0electronic music<\/strong>, and an homage to a period of explosive creativity and inspiration. With the pandemic forcing musicians off the road, Morello found herself at home working less with a guitar and more with synthesizers and drum machines, instruments she had long admired in avant-garde bands like Moor Mother and Special Interest.<\/p>\n

Frustrated by the government\u2019s lack of support for artists and seeking a creative community, Morello auditioned at the internationally-acclaimed theater company\u00a0Motus<\/strong>\u00a0(MDLSX, Panorama, NELLA TEMPESTA),<\/em>\u00a0and began writing songs to pitch the group\u2019s new production\u00a0Tutto Brucia<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, based on Jean Paul Sartre\u2019s adaptation of the Greek tragedy\u00a0The Trojan Women<\/em>. At the same time, Morello\u2019s label, Bronson Recordings, called to ask if she was working on an album. \u201cI said no, but I am working on this other thing,<\/em>\u201d says Morello.<\/p>\n

Morello advanced in the theater and began work on the album she would name after the english translation of the play,\u00a0Tutto Brucia\u00a0<\/em>(\u201cEverything Burns\u201d). She wrote every note and lyric in two weeks and completed the recordings with Andrea Cola (Sunday Morning) and under the supervision of multi instrumentalist and musician\u00a0Bruno Dorella (Ronin, OvO, Bachi da Pietra)<\/strong>\u00a0in two weeks more.\u00a0Mix and master of the record were then realized by\u00a0Maurizio Baggio (The Soft Moon, Boy Harsher)<\/strong>.\u00a0\u201cIt was really fast and really special. For the first time in 20 years, I finally felt free to let everything inside me come out,<\/em>\u201d says Morello, \u201cThere was no plan. It was like a work of inspiration that was burning inside of me.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

R.Y.F. continues her celebration of the marginalized with the electro-experimental banger and transfeminist anthem\u00a0Don\u2019t Panic<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 an encouraging tribute to the strength and difficulty of coming out, chosen as brand new single.\u00a0The line \u201cYOU HAVE NOT BEEN TAKEN BY ALIENS\u201d \u2014 repeated to the effect of a strobe-lit hypnosis or post-punk affirmation\u2014alludes to Morello\u2019s experiences growing up non-binary. \u201cI felt like an alien,<\/em>\u201d she says, \u201cIt was traumatic. I wasn\u2019t happy for a long time.<\/em>\u201d When Morello finally left her small hometown at age 30, she felt like her \u201cmind was cleansed\u201d of the lies she was told, opening herself up to better understand and embrace herself. R.Y.F states: \u201cDon\u2019t Panic\u00a0describes what you feel when the coming out seems impossible when you feel trapped and powerless. Hey!!! You\u2019ve not been taken by aliens!!! It is all fine!!! That\u2019s my message to support my big queer family out there<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n
