PRAISE FOR I’LL WALTZ BEFORE I GO:
“Lisa Brigantino doesn’t need excessive production – her voice is a
wall of sound all by itself. And as for variety, it’s hard to find an
album with more variety than I’ll Waltz Before I Go…Brigantino’s voice
itself is something truly special. It combines the brightness and
clarity of a precocious twenty-something, with all the range and control
of a woman with decades of practice under her belt….Nearly every track
is a standout…This is a stunner of an album.”
– ‘Round Magazine
“Throughout the thirteen tracks, Lisa seamlessly blends genres from
Folk to Americana, Country, Rock, and Old-Time, even incorporating some
Gypsy-Jazz for good measure. The album kicks off with the world music
flavored “Watching The Ducks,” which offers a serene metaphor for
falling in love brought to life by Lisa’s emotive vocals, guitar, and
percussion.”
– The Daily Country
“Lisa Brigantino is an American singer-songwriter, with her latest track I’ll Waltz Before I Go being
a wonderful folk tune in the traditional style. It’s quite a simple
track but that is certainly not an issue here, and we implore you to
listen until the chorus – the vocal melodies and chord progressions used
are simply beautiful in a haunting and addictive manner. We can’t stop
listening to it and we reckon our readers won’t be able to either!”
– York Calling
“Lisa Brigantino keeps on churning the goodness for us in her folk offering ‘I’ll Waltz Before I Go.’ The title track from the new album wants all of us to know that we all should live gracefully, and to the fullest that we can. Let’s smile and laugh and enjoy the life that we have. In the little moments we live the fullest. Don’t forget that. The new album is out now, from the Brooklyn-based songstress.”
