Additional Details ------------------------------ Product description: The hauntingly melodic title song (and first single) is already generating airplay, and there is a treasure trove of radio-friendly gems awaiting discovery here. Soulful ballads like "Get Love" and "Love Wins Everytime" nestle comfortably alongside more upbeat material ("This Little Universe," "All Illusions"). The Little Things was recorded in New York City with noted producer/musician Rob Arthur (Keri Noble, Jeff Arundel). Claudia wrote all the material, mostly in tandem with Rob. "Usually I would write the lyrics and Rob would arrange the music or chord structures," says Claudia. "It worked well, as having someone with different input can help open your eyes and mind." This dynamic duo had previously collaborated on DiNatale's first recording, an EP entitled My Life In 5 Songs. "There has been a lot of growth since then," she notes. "The lyrics have matured, and The Little Things is much more from the heart. It is a little more alternative, and the EP was more pop." Claudia got her feet wet with the EP, and now plunges in, head and heart first, on The Little Things. The development in her songwriting is even more impressive given that she is relatively new to the craft. "Prior to starting this project four years ago, I had never written a song," she says. "I was sort of thrown into a position where I had to write, but it came naturally. I am now pretty happy about my writing skills, and I can't wait to write even better music." With the release of The Little Things (via Fig Leaf Enterprise, Inc./Under The Radar Music Group), DiNatale has assembled a band and is looking forward to displaying her well-established prowess as a performer. This is indeed an artist to watch very closely.
