Ivana Santilli - TO.NY.
Santilli’s been riding her funkmobile to the soul shack ever since her formative days with Toronto’s Bass is Base. The singer-keyboardist deepened her groove on her first two solo albums, working with the likes of James Posyer (the Roots) and Stuart Matthewman (Sade). Her latest is more pop-oriented, bringing to mind both Alicia Keys and Stevie Wonder with sultry vocals and Rhodes organ. Still, Santilli keeps the funk cranked way up on “Always Better” and shows off her sexy side on the deeply soulful “Stay Here.”
