First Music Article written by Jim Testa before the EP “The Real Me” came out:
It should be noted that Sinibaldi is a quadriplegic, in a wheelchair and tethered to a breathing apparatus since a drunk driver nearly ended her life when she was 2 years old. But if you ask Sinibaldi, that’s the least most remarkable thing about her.

Song Review About Storm written by Zachary Larson:
Overall Impression: With the intensity of thunderclaps and heavy rain, Storm by Antonia Sinibaldi bursts its way through the Alternative Rock airwaves. Overdriven guitars and a slow groove immediately set a moody atmosphere and serious tone. They maintain a strong rhythmic drive and clarity that serves as the backbone of this intense new tune.

It serves as a fine example of the expressive and uplifting powers music can have. While this tune does live in a grittier mood, it gives the listener a soundtrack for when times are tough and they need to weather the storm.

Review on Different Drum written by Andre Avanessian:
Overall Impression:
Inspired singer/songwriter Antonia Sinibaldi returns with her wonderfully upbeat cover of The Stone Poneys classic, "Different Drum", which is not only both an amiable and undeniably delightful rendition but is a cover that manages to effectively capture the essence of the original whilst still feeling very much like an Antonia Sinibaldi tune, a feat that most definitely deserves praise. Combining Antonia's warm and welcoming vocal presence, an energetic arrangement, and heaps of personality, this is a cover that many a broad music listener can appreciate and enjoy.
Strongest Point(s):
At the heart of every engaging pop tune is a personality-filled vocal performance that's able to effectively draw in listeners, and having prior experience with the works of Antonia Sinibaldi it comes as no surprise that this lovingly performed cover is brimming with both an exceptional amount of both heart and spirit. Evoking the gentle tonal qualities of original singer Linda Ronstadt whilst equally managing to inject her own distinct style and personality into the mix, Antonia gives a soothing yet commanding vocal performance that's able to effectively engage and contrast with the supporting instrumentation. The warm and uplifting nature of the original is thankfully retained whilst Antonia's delicate phrasing manages to gracefully glide over the momentum-creating percussive elements, melody-infused guitar, timbrally warm organ textures, and animated bass lines effortlessly.
Review on Story written by Andre Avanessian:
Strongest Point(s):
The song opens with gentle arpeggiated acoustic guitar, instantly creating an intimate and contemplative atmosphere. The singer's voice enters, carrying a hint of melancholy, instantly connecting with the listener's emotions. The lyrics weave a narrative of personal struggle, drawing the audience into the artist's world. As the verses progress, the instrumentation builds gradually, layering upon the foundation of the acoustic guitar. The drummer's steady rhythm picks up pace, injecting a subtle sense of urgency into the track. This serves as a metaphorical representation of the turmoil within the protagonist's heart as their story unfolds. The songwriter's ability to craft vivid and relatable imagery heightens the emotional impact of the track. Metaphorical language intertwines with personal experiences, painting a vivid picture that resonates deeply with anyone who has faced similar challenges. The varying degrees of intensity that the track shifts through really help give the lyrics an even greater feeling of meaning and impact, and the way dynamics are used to highlight certain key aspects of the track (Such as in the guitar and drum parts), really help to give the song its sense of contour, allowing listeners to experience a number of distinct and contrasting emotional states throughout their listening experience.
Review on Spirit Game written by Andre Avanessian:
Overall Impression: Spirit Game is one of the newest releases by singer Antonia Sinibaldi. Musically, Spirit Game features a gentle Rock groove with no shortage of emotional potential.

While Sinibaldi never reveals the spirit's identity, one can be certain that it is of great importance to the singer, who does not shy away from vulnerability or self-expression. Overall, Spirit Game is rife with thought-provoking gratitude, warm musical support, and authenticity.
