"Album di duetti virtuali, in cui la straordinaria voce di Giuni è accompagnata da artisti quali Franco Battiato, Lene Lovich, Caparezza, Tony Childs ed il coro delle Carmelitane Scalze."

Lene Lovich:
“It was a difficult time for me. My dear friend had just died. It wasn't expected, so there was shock as well as sadness. I didn't feel like singing.

Maria Antonietta Sisini contacted me at this time, to ask if I would like to be part of the album, "Unusual". It impressed me that there was so much love and care for this project. I was still full of pain because of my friend's death, but I was happy to be involved in something positive.

I didn't know Giuni Russo by name, but I knew her voice. It was in my memory from the many times I had been in Italy in the 80's. Although we were not the same, I believe we were both trying to do something new with our voices. It was our natural gift that we used to communicate and explain ourselves to a world that would otherwise not understand us.

There were many talented artists involved with "Unusual". I was pleased to make the connection with MAB, the fantastic female black metal band. They were Italian but living together in a house in London. MAB were so much fun and generously patient in helping me to understand and pronounce the Italian words of my chosen Giuni song.

I felt an instant affinity with "Moro Perche Non Moro"". I wanted to sing together with Giuni's original vocal, because it was a unique opportunity. The sadness in my heart made my voice shake as I was learning the song, but Giuni's voice gave me strength. I more I sang it, the more I felt tuned in to the emotion of the song: "I die because I do not die".

I have listened to Giuni's voice many times. There is power, sensitivity, colour, and honesty in every song. I think that is very unusual.” (L.L.)
