Mifarma, the enigmatic alter ego of Danielle Alma Ravitzki, is set to make waves in the alternative music scene with her upcoming English-language debut album, "Mifarma." This New York-based artist, writer, and influencer has already made her mark in the Hebrew music world, with two albums released in 2013 and 2017. Now, she's ready to captivate a global audience with her most intimate and revealing work yet.
Ravitzki's journey into music began in childhood, with early photos and videos capturing her natural inclination towards singing. At just 14, she took her first bold step into the industry, approaching a family friend to produce her debut album. This early work featured lyrics from well-known poets set to melodies composed by various Israeli artists, laying the groundwork for her future as a songwriter.
As Mifarma evolved, so did Ravitzki's artistic vision. Her second album saw her penning all the lyrics herself, a practice she's carried forward into "Mifarma." The upcoming release promises to be a deeply personal and unfiltered exploration of Ravitzki's innermost thoughts and experiences.
"Mifarma" is a testament to female empowerment in the music industry. Of the eight tracks, Ravitzki wrote the lyrics for six, and all but one song were composed by women. This female-centric approach wasn't initially intentional but became a deliberate choice as the album took shape. The result is a powerful collection of songs that Ravitzki believes will resonate strongly with women, particularly in its themes of rejection and non-consensual act.
The album's production is a talent-laden affair, helmed by two-time Grammy nominee Carmen Rizzo. Ravitzki's path to this collaboration is a story of perseverance and serendipity. After moving to New York and struggling to find a producer, she was on the verge of abandoning her musical aspirations. A chance remembrance of an album recorded in Berlin with Earl Harvin led to a fortuitous connection with Rizzo, who Ravitzki credits with bringing her vision to life.
The album features an impressive roster of musical collaborators, including Shara Nova, Melissa Lingo, Piers Faccini, and more. Nova, in particular, has become a significant influence on Ravitzki, serving as both a mentor and a source of personal and emotional inspiration.
Ravitzki resists easy musical categorization. While she describes her sound as alternative, she draws inspiration from a vast array of genres, including classical, electronic, rock, pop, and rap. This eclectic taste is reflected in the album's sound, which blends alternative sensibilities with electronic elements. The tracklist for ‘Mifarma’ reads like a journey through the human psyche, promising a unique musical experience: Five Stages of Grief, I am Soil, Sumnabullist, I Left the Room Without My Hair, Rejection is My Pendant, The Bridge, Fix Me Up, and Sand Clock.
Each song promises to reveal a different facet of Ravitzki's soul, with "I Left the Room Without My Hair" and "Rejection is My Pendant" standing out as particularly vulnerable and resonant tracks. Both feature Ravitzki's own lyrics, written during challenging periods of her life and brought to life by the musical talents of Shara Nova and Melissa Lingo.
Mifarma doesn't shy away from the intensity of the content, describing the lyrics as hardcore and "in your face." The album tackles weighty themes such as broken hearts, physical violation, feelings of guilt, and trauma. Despite the heavy subject matter, Ravitzki believes that the universality of these experiences will allow listeners to connect deeply with the music.
Mifarma's unique background adds another layer of intrigue to her music. Ravitzki describes her alter ego as coming from "everywhere and nowhere," a sentiment that seems to be reflected in her global experiences. Her social media feed showcases travels from Paris to Delhi, hinting at a wealth of cultural influences that likely inform her artistry. This diversity of experience is evident in her musical output, which defies easy categorization and pushes the boundaries of the alternative genre.
While the release date for "Mifarma" is yet to be confirmed, Ravitzki hopes to share her creation with the world later this year. As anticipation builds, fans of alternative music and powerful female voices in the industry have much to look forward to.
‘Mifarma' promises to be a breath of fresh air in a music landscape often dominated by formulaic pop. With its raw honesty, diverse musical influences, and female-driven production, this album is poised to make a significant impact. As Danielle Alma Ravitzki steps onto the global stage as Mifarma, she invites listeners to join her on a profoundly personal journey of self-discovery, healing, and empowerment.
