Ricaricare (Italian for 'recharging' is the soothing debut album of the exceptional artist Katika. Shaped by her experiences living first in the Italian Abruzzo, then in Vienna, it's no surprise her voice is full of a soul which easily mingles with the light ethnic instruments and smooth rhythms of this album.

Katika is blessed with an energy in her voice that makes me feel like this album could move mountains; it's full of powerful emotions and really makes me feel relaxed. A great pick for those easy-listen lovers out there.
