Sporting a risque album design featuring Loredana outside of clothes more than in them, Streaking introduced Italian audiences to her frank songs about love and hate (and all the gratuitous shots in between) setting herself up to be an Italian answer to America’s Betty Davis. Her debut, 1974’s Streaking, set the tone. Call her what you want: sexualized, crude, dramatic, and temperamental, but you couldn’t deny one thing - Loredana understood exactly how she wanted to make herself out to be. By the time they were teens, as Loredana admitted herself, frequent bouts with depression and sexual abuse had forced her hand, making her distrust much of any authority and to look outside her home for any kind of support to get her and Mia’s life heading in a different direction.Īs Loredana understood herself, she’d never fall into whatever category a “lady” should be. Growing up under the tutelage of two abusive parents - one physically/emotionally and the other distant and indifferent from suffering their father’s abuse, meant that as sisters they had to navigate a hard world together. Together with her sister, a young Domenica (and future Mia Martini), from the beginning they were forced to fend for themselves.

Loredana’s story began in Bagnara Calabra, a coastal city close to Sicily. My only wonder (which they’d probably share) is how in the hell did everyone else worldwide miss the finely honed range of her fuselage. I’ll agree with all Italians who place Loredana Bertè’s Traslocando as that perfect window into her world. Powerful and raw, it’s a voice just raging with all the power in her humanity.

In full flight, Loredana Bertè’s voice is just this guttural thing unlike anything else, searing quite anything within its range, making you stop and immediately take notice. Before the image, before the story, before the music, before anything else, what really gets to you is that voice.
