Marcio Novelli is a pop rock artist that is set to release and EP, The Reimagining, Vol 1. on March 31. This EP will include reworked songs from across Novelli's discography, turning them into acoustic numbers and adding new life to older songs. 

"This EP is something I've wanted to do for a while – stripped down versions of my songs that closely resemble the mood and style they embodied when I first wrote them. While my albums tend to take you on a bit of a roller-coaster ride of emotions representative of the mood fluctuations I experience in a day, this EP is what it sounds like when my day fades to night – I put the kids to bed and pick up my guitar to soothe my restless soul and melancholic heart.

I first hit the studio in October 2014, picking back up in Spring 2015, completing all acoustic guitar parts and vocals. After a year and a half of putting the project on the back-burner, I returned to it in Autumn 2016 and breathed new life into the songs by composing piano and string arrangements for every song which elevated the recordings from simply acoustic versions to something entirely new that can stand on its own. I completed the EP during a long break in production on my new album when I was reconsidering whether or not to continue making music. I can now say that this process reignited my love for music and reminded me of the reason I write songs. "

“Doctor, Please” was first featured on It's Not An Excuse, It's A Reason and is my favourite song I wrote for that album back in 2011. It illustrates some of the most consistent struggles I've experienced over the years in my battle with mental illness. I really enjoyed stripping away the exuberance of the original recording to expose the emotional heart of the song. The video is laced with subtle dream imagery and represents the inner conflict we all have with something we can never quite grasp – the deepest depths of our being. Just as the song has been stripped down and reimagined, I had the idea to
recut and reimagine the original music video to represent the EP's theme that everything old is new again.
