On Tuesday, October 7, 2008, Giada Valenti will release And I Love You So, a brand-new recording from Perla Entertainment. With this new CD, the Italian singer and songwriter plans to bring her sophisticated music and European style to fans worldwide.

Giada Valenti’s sound is a contemporary blend of adult pop with jazz influences – imagine a female version of Michael Buble with a taste of Italia. Recognized for her special voice and great stage presence, Giada is often compared to Peggy Lee, Diana Krall, Connie Francis, and Norah Jones. In Italy, they say she sounds like Mina and Ornella Vanoni.

Although Giada is an accomplished songwriter, she decided to record the works of other great composers for And I Love You So. “The songs I chose are so close to my heart that I almost feel like they are my own,” she said. “These songs are timeless, and so are love, music, and romance,” said Giada. “I hope my CD can be the soundtrack to good times in the lives of others.”

The album begins with a sweet rendition of “And I Love You So,” a song penned by Don Mclean and made famous by Perry Como, which is followed by the passionate “Io Che Non Vivo Senza Te,” an Italian classic that has also been performed by the likes of Dusty Springfield, Elvis Presley, and Smokey Robinson.
