Marta Arpini was one of the winners of Keep an Eye the Records 2020. Thanks to this prize that powers the realization of a new album, Marta was able to start a new chapter in the story of her band, with a new wave of compositions and a different approach to the music's production. The repertoire is updated, reflecting Marta's artistic and personal growth process and her most recent inspirations. ​

Combining the different branches of her writing – the alternative pop and indie folk oriented songs and the jazz influenced pieces – Marta is giving her music a new garment; while the performing core of the project remains the quintet, sounds and orchestration are expanded and renovated, also thanks to an occasionally larger but flexible line-up.
