GINA SICILIA - UNCHANGE
PRODUCED BY COLIN LINDEN
Ever since her acclaimed 2007 VizzTone debut Gina Sicilia has been known as a uniquely talented blues and soul singer, soon expanding her range to cover all sorts of American Roots music, working with producers including Dave Gross, Dave Darling, Glenn Barratt, Cody Dickinson, and now Colin Linden. Colin enthuses: “Gina – pure blues, old world, old soul, new sound… Every day was a fresh take on sharing joy, heartache and redemption.”
As soon as they started pre-production, Gina and Colin discovered a mutual affinity for classic Gospel music, setting the tone for the sessions. The album features a few classics by the likes of Sam Cooke and Reverend Gary Davis, as well as a variety of more contemporary styles, but all the tracks embraced the deeply emotional delivery and the sometimes understated, sparse ambiance that allow Gina and Colin to shine through. VizzTone is thrilled to welcome Gina back home!

“The pinpoint focus and darkly-hued character of Gina Sicilia’s vocals are all that are needed to carry this minimally enhanced session along its compelling, highly atmospheric path through soulful terrain of varied nature”.
– Duane Verh, Roots Music Report
“For her 10th album, Unchange, Gina Sicilia has returned to the VizzTone Label Group, where she established herself as a commanding singer and songwriter rooted in but not limited to the blues. It quickly becomes clear that this return is not a retreat. The 10-song set reveals an artist who is still challenging herself to move forward, staying true to her vision without repeating herself.”
— Nick Cristiano, Rock and Blues Muse
“Sicilia takes it to church with Colin Linden at her side and their mutual love of gospel and roots. This record sounds like you feel on a really raw Sunday morning at 3 a.m. Blistering and not at all what you'd expect.”
— Chris Spector, Midwest Record
“A honey-toned alto powerhouse who’s now based in Nashville, Gina Sicilia displays old-school sensibilities on her latest disc in her budding partnership with Colin Linden… this disc finds Gina at the absolute top of her game.”
– Marty Gunther, Blues Blast Magazine
"Gritty soul and blues singer, Gina Sicilia, always stays one step ahead in her songwriting and music."
– Richard L'Hommedieu, Making a Scene
