THE REVIEW
This album is wonderful! I can't stop playing it, and I hope it will bring this very talented singer-songwriter, already acclaimed by critics, to be more widely known by the audience that loves quality Italian music.
The violins that open "Nel mio Giardino" immediately make us hope we can enter this "garden filled with gold" and accompany us in listening to a refined and poetic album...
In fondo al mare nuotano i miei sogni, / pronti per risalire. / Si aprono nell'acqua come fiori / e in un istante / vanno verso il cielo. [...] In fondo al mare naviga il silenzio, / rinchiuso dentro a sfere d'aria. / Lo guardo allontanarsi e diventare / ...l'universo in fondo al mare.
The first three ballads take us to the rough and experimental "Triathlon" in whose remix we also appreciate Samuel from Subsonica, who never shies away from an excellent collaboration.
The rock of "The Truman Show" is only a temporary surge that gives way to movement and then immediately returns to being cradled by the marvelous "Dove sei tu" ... then continuing on to the last track making us eager to start all over again.
Se chiudo gli occhi / posso arrivare / a prenderti. / Mi allungherò sino / a dove sei tu. / L'autunno / si è fermato sui rami, / è immobile. / Io imparerò ad arrivare / dove sei tu... / ...qualunque sia la distanza. / Io ti verrò a cercare quando il buio tenta / di far risaltare la tua assenza.
In my opinion, this album makes you want to go back in the journey of this artist to her first two works "Tregua" and "Nido" to get a complete picture of this fascinating and charismatic woman best appreciated live.
