Fresh off her gorgeous soul pop single Lie To Me that has won hearts all over, earned her a slot at Glastonbury 2019 as well as a dream call to open for the legendary Mark Knopfler at the `Festival De Nîmes’ in France, comes her brand new single Rollercoaster an upbeat summer song with the affinity of an old Motown soul influenced pop record.
The 22-year old soul pop artist from Switzerland announced that Rollercoaster is off her new EP titled ‘Sunkissed’ that will drop this October. Veronica will also embark on her maiden India Tour this November in support of the new EP, performing intimate sets in select cities.
Says an elated Veronica, “I got so much feedback and support especially from India on my last release “Lie To Me‘, it’s really incredible! I can’t wait to drop the new single and then come perform in India!”
Veronica’s new single tells the story of the highs and lows of `love’. However, somehow the singer with the soul-soaked voice has managed to wrap these feelings in a song bursting with pure exuberance. She surprised herself with it, “I’m well aware of my tendency to write melancholic songs”, she laughs. “That’s why I am really chuffed to come up with something so cheerful.”
Rollercoaster with its sixties soul beat and a hint of Petula Clark and Dusty Springfield, was recorded in London with the legendary producer Paul O’Duffy whose long list of credits includes the likes of Marvin Gaye and Amy Winehouse. “I see my songs in images,” explains Veronica. “Paul was very quick to pick up what I meant and find a way to turn the pictures into sound.”
Veronica Fusaro has a brilliant year behind her. Last year alone she played 136 concerts and this year she’s well on her way to beat that. During the winter Olympics in Pyeong Chang, she was a massive hit at the House of Switzerland. She was one of the highlights of the musical program at the Swiss Music Awards. In June, she raced from a gig in the Swiss mountains on the Friday to perform in Glastonbury on the Saturday. Low and behold, the modern hippies at one of the biggest festivals in Europe loved her.
