Gala — Music Videos

Gala is the stage name of Italian singer and songwriter Gala Rizzatto. Her music connects a distinctive, direct vocal style with dance-pop and electronic production. She is a solo artist, rather than the name of a band.

“Freed from Desire” introduced her music to a broad international audience in the 1990s. The album Come into My Life also includes “Let a Boy Cry” and its title song. Her best-known recordings rely on concise melodic ideas that remain clear against an insistent club rhythm.

The apparent simplicity is productive: a repeated phrase can become more expressive as the harmony and instrumental layers change around it. Listen for the balance between her relatively unembellished delivery and the momentum of the arrangement, a contrast that gives the songs their directness.
