Yasmina & Bad Songs is an alchemy of jazz and electro-pop intent that gives life to elegant, refined and never banal sounds, applied to some of the most famous American standards and at the service of two original songs composed by Yasmina herself: from My Funny Valentine to Why don't you do it right?, from Come together to Night and Day. And many others.
An alchemy in which the warm and sensual voice of Yasmina, a singer with a solid lyrical foundation soon betrayed by an innate love of creative vocals free from stylistic boundaries, meets “Bad Songs,” a jazz trio that, with a solid classical foundation, has for years moved in the organic and ironic fusion of the various languages ​​of contemporary music.
This encounter, along with the addition of Toti di Maio, a whimsical yet unobtrusive guitarist, gives life to an album of great, timeless songs, with original, fun, and self-deprecating arrangements.
The first album by a band of artists and friends who play and create together in the name of a love that never fades, the love for music and all its colors.

The recording of this album can rightly be described as magical: a special chemistry immediately developed between the musicians and Marco Lincetto, and in just four hours on a Sunday afternoon, strictly live in the studio, this captivating album was born. It lacks nothing: astonishing dynamics, a refined and mellow timbre, and a soundscape carved from the rock of the 24-bit/88.2kHz recording used.
