Hello folks of the Debaserian community, it's been a while since I last contributed to this magnificent site that allows us to cooperate for a better musical world.
Today I propose a review of an album that, according to sales charts and evidence are evidence, is selling a lot: "Ti brucia," which collects the 12 unreleased tracks performed by the finalists of the talent show.
The 2008 edition of the reality-talent-school "Amici," wonderfully hosted by Maria De Filippi, was nothing short of tumultuous, yet nonetheless exciting.
In summary:
- the arrival of a new vocal coach: the excellent Luca Jurman
- the division into teams (white-blue), for the students who, thanks to the charts, found access to the evening show and the lineup of the commission's professors.
But let's get to the album in question.
The first track of this work is performed by Roberta Bonanno, titled "L'ultima bugia," a singing class student who has always shown a beautiful voice thanks to 8 years of vocal training.
The lyrics by Bungaro are disarmingly beautiful:
"Ti strapperò da me, da queste notti
che mi parlano di noi
eviterò le vie, le nostre compagnie
mordendo le lenzuola io mi convincerò....
un'altra vita, qualunque vita sia
è solo un cielo spento, un'ultima bugia."
The album continues with "Start" by Pasqualino Maione, a technically well-prepared student, but with a tone that lacks a bit of individuality. A flaw that could jeopardize his potential music career, even though Pasqualino has shown in the evening phase of the program to be a real "stage animal" with hilarious impersonations and performances in musicals that would make more established actors envious.
The lyrics aren't great and fall into the category of "cazzeggio" songs: those to be sung at the top of your lungs in the square purely for a healthy and never trivial desire for joy.
"Start e parte la vita,
è un'altra giornata
e chi vivrà, vedrà.
Tu forse non lo sai,
ma non è finita,
tu vedi l'uscita lontana,
per noi."
All this leads us breathlessly to "Famelica," a track that brilliantly highlights Cassandra's vocal range.
Part of the lyrics for those interested in the entire song.
Non sarò io di certo la zanzara
Per ravvivare le tue notti insonni
O la tua mosca nei giorni di calura
Capro espiatorio dei tuoi affanni
Capro espiatorio dei tuoi affanni
Se tu vorrai
Se io vorrò
Per una notte la tua mantide famelica sarò
For the sake of brevity (but only for that), I'll omit the description of Giuseppe's unreleased "Per sempre tu" and "Ora che" by Marta, Simonetta, and Cassandra.
But it's impossible to overlook Marco Carta's single, the winner of this edition "Per sempre," a very beautiful track that suits his gravelly voice, which is literally spine-tingling, masterfully educated by Luca Jurman.
The chorus then immediately gets stuck in your head, and you find yourself singing it continuously
"Per sempre per sempre
mi chiedi se è così
ma io non lo so
Per sempre da sempre
si vive d'attimi
e di emozioni
Da sempre per sempre
ma adesso siamo qui
Per questo stringimi
non voglio perdermi
proprio adesso no
e neanche perderti"
Let's continue this journey with the sweet "Splendi" by Marta Rossi.
The song is among the most valid, although objectively the level of this album is high, demonstrating how the show leaves nothing to chance, providing students with high-level teachers for a program of sure media impact and quality.
In my modest opinion, however, Marta's voice doesn't particularly suit this piece
"Splendi
illumina il mio cielo
e brilla come una stella
la stella piu' luminosa
piu' di qualsiasi cosa
tu"
"Assassina mia," on the other hand, echoes rather evidently (using an understatement) "This Love" by Maroon 5. The track, to be honest, isn't very beautiful but is somewhat saved by Marco Carta's voice, which definitely impacts more positively than Giuseppe and Pasqualino's.
It practically competes for the title of the worst track of this good product with "Storia d'amore vista da fuori," a not too successful duet performed by Roberta and Pasqualino.
Also noteworthy is "Il migliore degli inganni," a song performed by the sweet Simonetta Spiri, a singer with remarkable interpretative skills and vocal qualities that perhaps deserved a better unreleased track. Nonetheless, the lyrics are acceptable and offer some interesting points for reflection:
"Ci sono i bianchi e ci sono i neri,
ma non è il colore il colore,
a far vibrare un cuore"
In conclusion, definitely an appreciable album and a rather enjoyable work.
Recommended.
