Lovesick is an Italian band made up of Paolo Roberto Pianezza and Francesca Alinovi. Two multi-instrumentalists whose influences are deeply rooted in American country, rock ‘n’ roll and western swing from the 40s and 50s.

As well as their distinctive vocal harmonies, Paolo plays electric and acoustic guitar, as well as lap-steel, Resonator and Dobro. Francesca, for her part, plays a double bass to which she has added a brush pad, a kind of percussion inside her instrument that allows her to keep the rhythm with brooms. The duo is joined by Alessandro Cosentino on violin and drums.

‘Going Down’ and ‘Until I'm Done’ are the first two singles to be taken from ‘Remember My Name’, Lovesick's new album, due for release on 28 June 2024. A new single entitled ‘You And I’ will be released on 3 May. The album will be distributed in Europe, the USA and Canada. Recorded in L.A. in the late spring of 2023, ‘Remember My Name’ was produced and mixed by Fabrizio ‘Fab’ Grossi and mastered by Gavin Lurssen. Lovesick's songs have been released in Italy, Spain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, the UK, Ireland, the USA and Brazil, helping to raise their profile around the world since their formation in 2015.

Their live performances are enthusiastically received by warm audiences, as evidenced by their recent sold-out tour in cities such as Rome, Milan, Verona, Treviso and Bologna, their hometown. They have just completed a 20-date tour of the USA. This was their first American tour, and the enthusiastic response has been overwhelming. Lovesick have already supported artists such as Ben Harper, JD McPherson, Zucchero, Toquiño and Edoardo Bennato. They have also performed at major festivals across Europe, sharing the bill with bands and artists such as The Offspring, Social Distortion, Walter Trout, Fu Manchu, Secondo Casadei Orchestra and Ten Years After.

Their extensive presence on social networks has also attracted the attention of a number of audiovisual production companies. As a result, Paolo and Francesca were chosen to take part,both as actors and musicians, in the film ‘Speravo do mori prima’ about the footballer Francesco Totti, which was released in cinemas and on Amazon Prime in the USA and Europe. Paolo and Francesca will be

repeating the experience in a series about Oriana Fallaci, due to be released worldwide in 2024. To date, Lovesick has independently sold almost 20,000 copies of their albums in Europe, the USA and Asia.
