_“Music that remains timeless and in vogue with the current market. A maestro of
synth-pop and electronica… takes you to a place of reflection and euphoric celebration”_
~ **[The Manc Review](http://www.mancreview.com/2021/08/crazy-game-of-phobias-by-jata-gaetano-russo/)**

_“Uber-catchy keyboard intro… a very clever song, with strong hooks and songwriting
schematic. Particularly the refrain is noteworthy and JATA’s voice and vocal stylings
are strong and convincing”_ ~ **[Amplify Music Magazine](https://amplifymusicmag.com/premiere-indie-pop-artist-jata-shrugs-isolationism-on-crazy-game-of-phobias-single/)**

_“Flawlessly delivered with an important message in hand… His is a slick sound, 
put to an enticing backbed of synth grooves and an uplifting orchestral soundscape”_
~ **[Big Takeover Magazine](http://bigtakeover.com/news/VideoPremiereCrazyGameofPhobiasbyJATA)**

Italian singer-songwriter **[JATA (aka Gaetano Russo)](https://www.facebook.com/JataProjectOfficial)**
presents his debut EP under this moniker via [**Seahorse Recordings**](https://www.facebook.com/seahorse.recordings),
released on October 1.

With a sound influenced by Depeche Mode, Planet Funk, Almamegretta, Blonde Redhead,
Arcade Fire, Editors, Interpol and Block Party, JATA essentially reinvented his 
sound In the process of writing and recording this EP, exploring the use of electronics
and early sampling technique, in a mix of  pop catchy groove and harmonies.

Earlier, he presented the title track [**‘Crazy Game of Phobias’**](https://youtu.be/EV40vGLxXI8).
With a particular Depeche Mode-flavor, this is a statement on the phobia about social
contact that has developed throughout the current pandemic, lockdowns and social
distancing rules.

JATA explores one of the most negative effects generated by the pandemic – the phobia
people hav developed about social contact, stemming from the distancing rules and
lockdowns, not to mention constant media hype. His lyrics emphasize the need to 
reclaim our greatest and most significant human trait – the need for socializing
and contact.

Taking us on a captivating electronic journey between the 80s and the present day,‘
Crazy Game of Phobias’ is a sonic springboard, from which you can explore one or
more destinations of positive rediscovery, resilience, personal and collective rebirth–
inherent human traits that can be drawn to the surface through a path of sensation
and atmosphere.

**‘Crazy Game of Phobias’**

“The EP’s leitmotif starts with the current pandemic and the changes this new era
has brought to the world. With its huge global impact, this crisis has encouraged
me to think about how unstable and unpredictable our life is and how important it
is to have the right approach to change,” says **Gaetano Russo**.

The concepts of resilience, future vision and goals, personal growth and discovering
loved ones are issues presented from my personal point of view. As a  professional
coach and NLP professional practitioner, I take the view towards developing the 
human potential inside each of us, breaking a 3-year writer’s block during which
I had zero inspiration to write new songs.”  

On October 5, the full ‘Crazy Game of Phobias’ EP will be released and will be available
across digital platforms, including [**Amazon Music**](https://music.amazon.com/artists/B09C2FFQ27/jata_)
