Francesca Tarantino - Truth Cannot Hide

​Francesca Tarantino

Truth Cannot Hide
self-released; 2024

​By Jamie Funk

Francesca Tarantino is a young passionate musician who revels in the world of rock. Her musical talent extends to singing, playing acoustic and electric guitar, She immerses herself in learning and mastering epic riffs, while also channeling her creativity into crafting original tunes. 

A little over a year ago Tarantino unveiled her debut single ”My Runaway," followed by the release of "Tragedy" in May 2023. The recognition for her talent came swiftly, as she was crowned the 2023 Female Artist of The Year on the internet station, Music Mafia Radio. Both "My Runaway" and "Tragedy" achieved the remarkable feat of reaching number one on the station's Top 30 countdown and Top 20 Rock chart. 

Tarantino’s latest is “Truth Cannot Hide.” After listening I thought this was for the most part a pop song that is built on a rock foundation. Tarantino more or less sings about broad topics but she uses some language that will be more relatable for younger people such as using the word “boyfriend.”

The song really goes for scale more than anything. It attempts to reach the highest peak it can maintain and is reminiscent of the rock opera days back in the ’80s. Tarantino sounds good on vocals but I got the feeling there’s more to explore for her here. There’s a subtlety I tend to hear with very experienced singers where that can get into different shades of emotion. Tarantino doesn't seem to be there quite yet but she has all the right foundation to build upon.

​This is a solid song overall and felt like it could be used in blockbuster type of movies. I look forward to hearing more from the artist who seems to just be getting started.
