Desire's colour
After little pop rock gems like Sleepin late included in her debut album Ambiguous (2004), Olivia Adriaco presents now her second record Heaven Seven (2009) looking for the eternal need of being reborn after a break up. Her voice is as sensual as her look and her tunes are full of desire. She wonders if love is a dream or a reality and creates a song from every doubt looking for the heaven seven, like everybody does.
A short Prelude of just fifteen seconds opens your new album. It gives us a bizarre atmosphere with an old clock sounding around and your voice as an echo surrounded by some crickets. Night comes first here. Are you a night soul?
When you create or play the style of our music, evidently your way of living is more next from the one of Lestat the Vampire than from the one of a Rooster......
Suddenly, a rough guitar sounds and your voice sings I’d sell my soul for a total control over you. Do you think control is compatible with desire?
Precisely no, that's the reason why I'd sell my soul for a total control, because desire just can't be under control.
Desire is the unknown , it arrives when we don't expect it, without explanation and goes back letting you speechless. You can't explain, desire is unexpectable. It takes you and you like an old socks ... And when you don't want to lose it , you have to find a solution, that's the reason why we have to sell our soul .... For a total control !
A powerful riff takes us to an Onion and the tears from a brutal break up seem to become some hope for the future. I found some peace again by myself here sung in a hard rock style. Why is so difficult to find peace of mind when we’re alone?
I think that we can find some peace alone, sort of a rest time between two tempests, but just for a short periode of time . Or you become the tempest yourself .
Nevertheless it's difficult to find peace when you miss someone.
But... Sometimes to be alone is necessary to find peace, it helps you to find deeply in your mind what's wrong with yourself....

A beautiful piano tune goes with you in Cool. Your voice is so delicate but warm and full of hope. Again painful from a not desired solitude emerges rejecting an ordinary iceberg always colder than he looks. What’s warmth for you?
Warmth comes to me with good memories of life whith someone . It's a warmth, a pleasure to think once more of them. At the time, whenPaul Ives wrote this lyrics on my melody, we were having so much good time together, he was my friend, my best friend....
A so good friend..... I thanks the Life !
Now, he is cool in a warm sheet of snow .

Red love, blue sky, green sea deep, technicolour dream...I got some colour to sell. First you sell your soul and the full rainbow here...What’s the colour of your mind now?
You have pointed your finger on it ....!
Love is a rainbow....Red like passion, blue like hopes, green like peace, black like troubles etc...
My mind , my heart and my life are full of colours !
Each colour is magic, it depends of you, how you decide to use it or to be use by. Anyway, each colour can have a positive influence on you, even dark colour.
Darkness can be deep and poetic.
Red love is also a wink to the french expression "Raide Love" meaning to be deeply in love with someone, kind of crush, falling in love at the first sight in a crazy way.
This song can be also a poeticly answer to Roxane.....Red is a colour giving a sulphuric lighting to Love.....is'nt it ?....
Passionately you sing call it heaven just a night with you. A red heaven is painted in my mind listening to this song. You dance in your Cinderella shoes and desire is floating around. Present is all we have?
Present is the conjugation of love ...It's better for love...Love is a secret.....Only Life can unveil it.... Wait and see....But keep it dark.
Unrestrained starts in a gospel style but quickly it becomes a hard rocker song about getting a new way because you cannot trust and risk the rest will become dirt. Why is so hard to break a relationship that has become just a jail?
Nobody knows....In all relationships we are the consentant prisonner, the jailer and the prison itself, all together.
We are in possession of the keys and we know how to use the l
Lock....
But outside is often terrifying.
You are free to stay or free to go, but in those two solutions, you have to do it unrestrained.
To be unrestrained is a way to be free.....
If I ask you about the future as a concept, what’s your answer?
Is the futur compatible with an idea of concept, still now ?
I have to call Major Tom for This....
Pray for earth....
Say good bye has a deep strange ending part in musical terms because its African influence mixed with electronic sounds. It’s an important contrast to the rest of the album becoming a kind of chill out. Do you use to enjoy with electronic dj sessions?
Our musical culture is very open for what is good.
Usually we play this song on stage, at the end of the show , to say goodbye. It' s always sad to say goodbye, and the way we arrange this song make everyboddy happy .
It's a way to say, save the Last Dance for Me....We will see each other very soon and that's the way we imagine to say googbye;
Finally, Janis Joplin or Barbara?
Without any hesitation : David Bowie.
