Veronica Fusaro – Looking For Connection (CD)

Looking For Connection is an album about longing, courage, and the need for connection—wrapped up in pulsating pop with an indie edge. The songs carry a sense of hope, lightness, and warmth reminiscent of the opening scene of a 2000s indie film.

These are thoughtful lyrics about one of the greatest paradoxes of our time: people are connected around the clock via their smartphones, yet feel increasingly isolated. Swiss-Italian singer-songwriter Veronica Fusaro talks personally about life in the postmodern era and the growing need for authenticity.

Musically, the album combines indie pop with rock and soul elements and funky arrangements that blend melancholy with joie de vivre. The single “Gold Rush” exemplifies this tension: a glittering, pop-oriented moment that uses the historic gold rush as a mirror for today’s urge for quick recognition. Songs like “Slot Machine,” “Little Too Much,” and “Jealousy” deal with overwhelm, self-doubt, and the emotional consequences of the obsession with self-optimization.

With “Looking for Connection,” Fusaro creates a space in which connection is not just a buzzword, but something that can be felt through authentic lyrics and melodies.
