You & I
YOU & I
Copyright © 2020 Lorenza Wildcard
Staring at these cards, I did not choose.
Holding up my breath, not to go loose.
Even in this place, so dark and strange without you by my side,
I will never burn it down.
You and I, my old friend,
we've never been apart
but now I walk alone,
cutting my own path, with tears and smiles from miles away.
You don't get to say, "I will always love you".
Walk me down the aisle twice, so it hurts more.
And because you broke my heart without goodbyes
your "forever", was a lie for a while.
You and I, my old friend,
will never be the same.
You wear a mask a lot.
Tell me, was it worth your while to be somebody else?
You and I, yeah-he-he
heh-heh-heh
Heh
You bought three wedding bands, in case your hand changed.
Judging all the ones, who fell before.
Did you hold my hand because you meant it, or was it all an act?
Did you ever have me in mind?
You and I, my old friend,
We’ve got two tales to tell, but none that match at all.
I wish you all the best there is,
but this is where it ends.
If we were to meet again someday.
And if you were to think, that I looked strong,
please don't ever think that that's what I became because you left me,
but I thank you, now I am free.
You and I, my dear,
we’ve had it good you know!
But now that I am alone,
I can chase my dreams without the fear you'll disapprove.
You and I, my dear,
we’ve had it good you know!
But now that I am alone,
I can chase my dreams without the fear you'll disapprove.
You and I, my dear,
we’ve had it good you know!
But now that I am alone,
I can chase my dreams without the fear you'll disapprove.
You and I, my dear,
we’ve had it good you know!

NEW MUSIC GENERATOR’S UNSIGNED CHART
WHERE IT WAS AT NUMBER 1 FOR 20 WEEKS!
The Pitch: the story behind the music
“YOU & I” is the creation born out of the need to voice a woman’s emotions as her marriage broke down irreparably before her eyes and to help others going through the same grief. This is the uplifting and empowering story of a woman who, despite her sorrow and finding herself alone through lockdown, discovered a talent she did not know she had. Lorenza Wildcard is a new and promising singer-songwriter whose music speaks to all the lost and broken souls out there inspiring them to take back control of their lives, grab chances with both hands and follow their dreams.
Musical style & lyrics
“YOU & I” is a classic pop ballad with a modern feel. It is pure storytelling at its best where emotions dictate the bpm as the story unfolds. This is a song that does not bow to standard song writing techniques. “YOU & I” speaks to the many broken hearts whose confidence and self-belief have been shaken to the core. With powerful lyrics, gritty vocals, and beautiful harmonies, Wildcard’s authenticity and truth leaps onto the music market as a breath of fresh air.
Artist bio
Lorenza Wildcard discovered her talent during lockdown. Following the sudden and intense rupture of her relationship, she decided to put her feelings on paper as a way to process her emotional turmoil. With courage and intuition, she transformed her raw emotions into the honest lyrics and melody of “YOU & I”. Just twenty-four hours after writing her first song and recording her vocals accompanied by guitar on her mobile phone, she was approached by producer Ettore della Campa who loved the song and saw the potential in her heartfelt vocal style. Together they decided to head in the studio to record it professionally and that lead to the beautiful recording and arrangements that can be heard on the finished track.
Lorenza Wildcard’s quotes
Wildcard’s message is simple: “I wanted to tell my story and share what I went through in the hope that it would reach, help and empower other women who are in a similar situation. I have learnt that I am not alone and a breakup is not going to shake the foundations of who I am, because I am many things and not just a partner. I have grabbed my chances with both hands and I have cut my own path in search of my very own realization.” – Lorenza Wildcard
Her words are also filled with hope for anyone who has dreams: “This whole experience started by chance and it has been great fun, but I have made it my choice to be where I am today by being true to myself and working hard to get better, and perhaps that also brought me luck.” – Lorenza Wildcard
“If you’ve hung up your best clothes as well as your dreams and turned into a couch potato just because you are settled and older now, think again: you ain’t dead yet!” – Lorenza Wildcard
Endorsements

“Just before the pandemic Wildcard suffered personal heartbreak and although she had never done anything music before, wrote a song about it. An inspiring and promising young artist” – Women Making Waves – Cambridge 105 Radio
“A talented musician! An uplifting and inspiring story” – BBC Cambridgeshire
Gigging and performing new material
Following the success of “YOU & I”, Wildcard decided not to rush back to recording in studio in order to dedicate more time to writing new material and performing. Having received overnight national exposure, it was important to her to earn her place in the music scene as a well-rounded performing artist.
Wildcard’s style and vocal range has evolved and her genre expanded from pop ballad to a grittier indie pop with lashes of rock and blues hints. It’s distinguished by catchy melodies with outstanding and memorable performances.
Wildcard is now back in studio while currently being promoted across Europe, USA and Australia as well as gigging and performing new original material with her backing band, including: My Army, Call the Devil, Wasting my time, Love & Cuss, Fallen for you and My worth.

PRESS RELEASE
“WASTING MY TIME”
LORENZA WILDCARD’S SPANKING NEW SINGLE: FUN, FIERCE & SASSY!
RELEASE DATE: NOV 10, 2023
Available to stream and download on all major music platforms including iTunes, Spotify, Amazon Music, Deezer and Tidal.
WILDCARD: A FORCE OF NATURE!
LORENZA WILDCARD IS AN INTERNATIONAL SINGER-SONGWRITER RECOGNIZED FOR HER SONGWRITING, MUSICAL VERSATILITY AND ARTISTIC REINVENTIONS.
THIS IS AN ARTIST WHO’S BRILLIANCE AND ABILITY TO EVOLVE IS KEEPING US HOOKED AND HER FAST DROPPED SINGLES ARE A TESTAMENT TO THAT.
SUCCESS IS NOT A COMFORTABLE PROCESS AND WILDCARD IS SHOWING US THAT SHE IS NOT AFRAID OF BEING HERSELF WHILE CROSSING MUSICAL GENRES.
WITH A STRONG, POWERFUL AND GRITTY VOICE SHE DELIVERS GREAT MUSIC. DISARMINGLY HONEST AND UNAPOLOGETIC, SHE CONTINUES TO SWIPE THE MUSIC SCENE.
HER APPROACH TO INTERACTING WITH THE PUBLIC IS FRESH AND EXCITING WITH AN ENERGY, AN ENTHUSIASM AND SINCERITY THAT ARE CONTAGIOUS.
THIS IS A TALENTED, SMART, WITTY ARTIST WHO IS CLEARLY WORKING REALLY HARD, BUT ALSO, REBELLIOUS AND WITH A RELAXED COOLNESS, WHICH HAS CREATED AN ELEMENT OF ALLURE AROUND HER IMAGE.
The Pitch: the story behind the music
Lorenza Wildcard is a strong and prolific artist who took back control of her life from a narrative that got away from her, showing resilience and an openness that is disarmingly honest when talking about raw emotions and her vulnerable side. But this is also an artist who does not want to conform nor comply. With each of Wildcard’s releases we are witnessing a growth and an evolution at both a personal and artistic level. While embracing her newly discovered talent, she is showing us her fun, rebellious, confident and sexy side while continuing to speak candidly about her personal life experiences.
It is for this reason that there is an element to her fan-base where they feel like they are growing together. It does not come as a surprise that her releases are very carefully chosen to allow for her fans to come on a journey with her, almost as if they were reading her diary. Aware of this, the artist is known for regularly posting behind the scenes, planting easter eggs in her art works and dropping cryptic teasers on her posts. It is clear Wildcard is having fun with her success as well as using her limelight to promote empowering messages.
While with “ You & I ” we felt Wildcard’s sorrow and with “ My Army ” we felt uplifted and empowered, with “Call the Devil” and “Tequila (all I wanna do is dance)” we have been shown a more confident and witty side.
“Call the Devil” is about pushing boundaries while testing societal rules and beliefs about how one should live their life. It’s about being rebellious and a little daredevil, albeit never loosing site of values or slipping too far.
“ Tequila (all I wanna do is dance)” is a sexy and powerful song about a confident woman who is comfortable with her image and who does not seek validation from others. She is feeling great and unapologetic about dancing on her own, promoting self-acceptance and sending out a message to other women to follow suit.
“ Wasting my time ” is Wildcard’s latest single, released just 6 weeks after the drop of 2 singles that topped several indie charts worldwide. This is an energetic, fun rock song that will resonate with anyone that has had to deal with dating time wasters. It’s fast paced, catchy and with witty lyrics which turn tables on narratives.
With Wildcard’s latest releases we are shown a more rebellious side of this exciting artist, who is capable of delivering audaciously witty and sassy lyrics wrapped in catchy melodies. The message? Incite new and old gens to take back control of their lives and narratives, to be fierce, independent and perhaps a little wild, unleashed and unrepentant too.
Musical style
In a relatively short span of time, Lorenza Wildcard has become one of most exciting voices on the music market and in the last year we have seen a whole new side of her.
Wildcard has definitely gone a long way from the classic pop ballad with a modern feel that is her debut single “ You & I ” (2021). With the release of her follow up single, “ My Army ” (2023), we saw her move towards a more energetic and upbeat pop, rock, Americana sound defined by lashes of rock riffs with folk and blues hints.
With “Call the Devil” we are immediately gripped by hard-hitting drum beat that carries thru the entire song injecting it with a rock blues sound. There are lashes of electrics guitar riffs, funky bass beats, folk violins and a gritty voice that ripples with sensuality and confidence.
“Tequila (all I wanna do is dance)” is a proof of Wildcard’s undeniable ability to reinvent herself. The 100 BPM with a hard, masculine synth dance beat, sultry voice oozing with seductiveness and catchy lines, make it hard not to dance to.
Wasting my Time is an energetic, fierce and sassy rock song with a beat that makes you want to bounce around. Gritty, sexy, playful vocals deliver bold and witty lyrics. The beat is fast and married to a melody that is extremely catchy with great guitar riffs, funky bass beats, a hard beating drum and quirky violins.

Lorenza Wildcard discovered her talent during lockdown. Following the sudden and intense rupture of her relationship, she decided to put her feelings on paper as a way to process her emotional turmoil. Just 24 hours after writing her first song and recording her vocals accompanied by guitar on her mobile phone and sharing it with just four friends, she was approached by music producer Ettore della Campa and weeks later flown to a recording studio where her debut single “You & I” was produced.
Following the unexpected international success of her debut single, Wildcard decided to fully embrace her singing-songwriting career. With no musical education but with great intuition and a knack for making music, she put together a support band and started gigging.
Wildcard took residency at Headline Music Studios (UK) in 2023, having found a great producer in Piers Mortimer, who has collaborated with a wide range of musicians including established legends like Deep Purple and the Jamiroquai band as well as emerging unsigned artists. She is expected to release a more singles thru 2024.
Philanthropy & social activism
Wildcard is an advocate for feminism and women rights, supporting the need for changing narratives about women. She is a keen advocate for women’s self-awareness and self-acceptance and for normalizing discussions about feminism within fashion, a tool used by women to decide who they want to be and how they want to look in order to communicate and express that identity to the world. She is a supporter of animal welfare and environmental issues and donates to several animal charities. She is also the founder of “Wellness & Purpose” an online platform with free resources aimed at helping people lead a happier, healthier and financially secure life.
