Singer's new music inspired by the love of Wolverhampton and the man who brought her here
An Italian-Australian singer-songwriter, journalist and author who says she has fallen in love with the city of Wolverhampton is about to release new music partly based on her experiences of it.
Mama featuring Antonella by Antonella Gambotto-Burke has been mixed at Magic Garden Studios in the city which is owned by renowned music producer Gavin Monaghan who is also her fiance.
Antonella's most recent book 'Apple, Sex, Drugs, Motherhood and the Recovery of the Feminine' was excerpted in The Weekend Australian and a previous one in The Guardian.
She was first asked to sing with the Jesus and Mary Chain by Britpop luminary Alan McGee many years ago but turned him down as she was too shy.
Decades later, she was recommended to Monaghan, who runs Magic Gardens Studios and has worked with Robert Plant and Celine Dion, seen his own music featured in Peaky Blinders and Austin Powers.
