I played "Timbalero" .. and the dance floor response was really good… After hearing your voice and Timbalero, I believe in your success.."

Sorella What You Do To Me (4:45)
Producer: Michael Castaldo
Writer: C. Virola
Publishers: Seminara/C/FV, SESAC
MJM 7275 (CD Single)

Highly videogenic female duo is ready to invade crossover radio airwaves and dancefloors with this lively pop/dance twirler. Diva wailing is in ample supply here, as are youthful harmonies and slick retro-disco keyboard references. One of several notable moments on the act's fine "Symmetry In Motion" EP.

Sorella in Motion. MJM recording duo Sorella recently performed during an in-store promotional appearance at HMV records in New York. The act is trekking across the country in support of the album "Symmetry in Motion" and its first single, "What You Do to Me." Pictured, from left, are Carla Virola and Lisa Marie Virola.

"Sorella" means "sister" in Italian, and Lisa and Carla Virola are an attractive example of that special relationship. These two harmonizing songstresses have put together a four songs EP CD that harkens back to some of the tastier dance music to come out of the late '80s, with the '90s spice that Michael's capable production has highlighted. Playing off each other's wonderful voices, the two girls create a sound that is most pleasing. Then again, I'm a sucker for good harmonies anyway, but I'm sure that all would agree that these two ladies have a real gift. Carla is the lyricist and songwriter, and the girls share the lead vocal duties. At press time I learned that Sorella's "What You Do To Me" received a most favorable review in Billboard magazine! Impressive! You go girls!
