Meet German-Slovenian singer-songwriter Ramona Irgolic in Episode 9 of The Sensitive Man Podcast. Simon Lim profiles this attractive woman with cascading blonde hair, long legs and a svelte figure that makes her a head-turner. Complimenting her good looks, Ramona is blessed with a beautiful and truly melodic singing voice that’s crystal clear.  This research scientist turned singer writes her own songs not only from home, but anywhere when inspiration comes – even while waiting for someone at a McDonald’s restaurant. 

On this podcast, you will hear Ramona sing her own compositions including the reflective ballad “Like A Butterfly” and the reassuring mid-tempo “All Right Now” with its signature tada dum dum dum from the chorus.  “Come Get My Love” sung in English and Spanish was a song Ramona penned whilst on holiday in Portugal, and leads the listener to form a visual story in their mind.  “I’m Sorry That I Love You” showcases Ramona Irgolic’s voice brilliantly as if she was singing in a dance hall during the late 60’s to early 70’s – which unbeknown to her has a hint of the legendary Agnetha Fältskog.  The final song on this podcast “I’ve Got Seven Heaven” is a bright-sounding and uplifting track – the perfect song for driving along an expressway! 

Enjoy Ramona Irgolic’s music and her sharing on The Sensitive Man Podcast.
