The Profile

Alan Sorrenti is an Italian singer-songwriter (often described in reviews as Neapolitan and of Welsh origin) noted for an early progressive/psychedelic phase—especially the 1972 album 'Aria'—and later mainstream success with pop/disco hits such as 'Figli delle stelle' and 'Tu sei l'unica donna per me'.

From the reviews: debut 'Aria' is dated 1972 and is repeatedly framed as a prog/psychedelic peak with a long title suite; collaborators mentioned include Jean-Luc Ponty (violin) and Tony Esposito (percussion). 'Figli delle stelle' is dated 1977 and presented as a disco/pop reinvention and major hit. 'L.A. & N.Y.' is dated 1979 and linked to 'Tu sei l'unica donna per me'. A 2022 album 'Oltre la zona sicura' is reviewed as a return with nine unreleased tracks; the reviewer states Sorrenti is 71 at the time. Publicly verifiable: Alan Sorrenti is an Italian singer-songwriter.

Across these reviews, Sorrenti is portrayed as a Welsh-Neapolitan singer-songwriter with an early progressive/psychedelic peak in 'Aria', praised for extraordinary voice-as-instrument performances. Several writers contrast that era with his later disco/pop fame ('Figli delle stelle', 'Tu sei l'unica donna per me'), sometimes framing it as a commercial pivot. Other albums (self-titled, 'Come un vecchio…', 'L.A. & N.Y.', 'Sienteme…') are discussed as steps in softening or reshaping the early formula. A 2022 review highlights 'Oltre la zona sicura' as a forward-looking return rather than pure nostalgia.
