    This is rich, rewarding, spellbinding music. It’s unequivocally original – whatever influences it has, it transcends in a way that makes you realise how much music in 2024 is the sum of its inspirations, reliant on reminding you of stuff you already know for its appeal. It’s also unequivocally fantastic.

    Sentir que no sabes is endlessly playful, Fratti using either her cello, or some out-of-nowhere sonic texture, to constantly colour outside the lines, conjure dramatic tension, and create real emotional resonance.

    Vocally, lyrically, and sonically, Fratti captures the way in which the micro and macro are forever colliding, shrinking, erupting, dissolving around us and, more pressingly, within us.

    Fratti delivers some of her most musically and emotionally rich work to date here, her dreamy voice and impressionistic Spanish-language lyrics adding an extra layer of magical realism. [Aug 2024, p.36]

    It’s all so assured, yet Fratti never returns to the same thought for long. It’s impressive for a musician who’s comfortable with her voice and instrument.

    Further enriched by the palate of Fratti’s cello and Tosta’s brass, Sentir… is an extraordinarily possessed, uncanny world of its own. [Aug 2024, p.83]

    Sometimes the music lingers too long in the in-between places, as though it’s not sure where it’s going. It probably doesn’t make sense for music that deals in ambivalence to be settled in itself, but some listeners may require a tiny bit more to believe in. [Jul 2024, p.50]
