Marsha Bartenetti, an award-winning singer, confidently steps into familiar territory with her new track, "You Gotta Be," and makes it all her own. Bartenetti's version of the beloved 1994 classic is both respectful of its history and very much in the present. This isn't a new version just for the sake of being new, but a careful reawakening of a message that still works.
Dori Amarilio made and arranged the song, which has a smooth, modern sound while still keeping the heart of the song's empowering message. The production gives space for emotion to breathe, which lets the vocal performance lead with purpose instead of too much. Every musical choice seems to have a purpose, which reinforces the idea that compassion and resilience are not just fads, but things we need.
The anchor here is Bartenetti's signature tone. Her voice is warm and clear, and it gives you comfort without sounding preachy. She is known for her ability to cross genres in search of great lyrics. She leans into sincerity and lets the song unfold naturally. Her restraint and confidence give her performance a sense of authenticity and lived-in quality.
"You Gotta Be" serves as a reminder of the importance of remaining graceful under pressure. The song gently but firmly talks to anyone going through tough times by using themes of perseverance, being real, and love as a guiding force. Bartenetti doesn't just sing the message; she lives it. Marsha Bartenetti's new release is more than just a soulful cover. She gives us a moment to think and feel good about ourselves, showing that a song that is based on truth will always be true, regardless of what time it is.
