Osanna
A Hosanna to the Hosannas, Palepoli above all, but to be known at least as far as Suddance. more

nicpagano3000: Jay Traccia 01 in Jay N/A - 4 january 1974

A delicate and highly refined arabesque. Two minutes and forty-five seconds of absolute vocal virtuosity. more
Little Simz
In my opinion, leaving aside Lauryn Hill, Simbi, despite her young age, can be considered the greatest rapper of all time.
Her music blends orchestral Hip Hop (with deep old school references) with Neo-Soul, Kuti-style Afrobeat with Jazz, and R&B sprinkled with Trap and Electronica.
With her masterpieces (particularly "Sometimes I Might Be Introvert"), she has brought a breath of fresh air, modernity, class, and profound truth to the genre.
What can be said about her live performances... An authentic stage animal!
Energy, temperament, character, personality.
GODDESS. more
Timo Tolkki
Guitarist not necessarily counted among the innovators, but possessing a decent technique in the power/neoclassical realm and a compositional orientation that, combined with the talents of capable bandmates, has produced some good genre albums, especially in the '90s. As happens to many musicians in the heavy metal area, he has always remained within certain boundaries, so if you like it, you like it, and if you don't, it’s hard to change your mind. How many hard and heavy artists can be accused of stylistic stagnation? Many too many... more

Marvin Pontiac
Between the U.S.A and Africa radiates this mix of Blues, Jazz, and Rock brought forth by the imaginary "Marvin Pontiac," born in 1932 to a Jewish mother (from New York) and an African father (Mali), and who died, hit by a bus, in 1977. Behind this fictitious project, skillfully crafted, lies the genius of John Lurie: actor, painter, and above all, the renowned musician, founder and leader of "The Lounge Lizards" (1979). With his deep, gritty voice, as dark as pitch, the puppeteer Lurie (amid marimbas, saxophones, shekeres, and trombones) weaves the threads of a vivid fresco of the desolate, nocturnal New York alleys, the infamous neighborhood bars flooded with whiskey, and, parallelly, the ancestral Mother Earth Africa. A masterpiece! more
Woody Allen -Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* (*But Were Afraid to Ask)
Not everything I would have wanted to know about sex but never dared to ask, but recommended for those who want to know about sex but have never dared to ask. more
Erykah Badu
It's difficult to express in just a few lines my immense and boundless love for my favorite artist, so I will limit myself to providing some evocative yet effective guiding coordinates for most.
Erykah Badu is undoubtedly the most important Black artist of the '90s, the boldest and most eclectic priestess carrying the banners of Neo-Soul.
Her music is an explosive mix of Soul, Jazz, Hip Hop, and Funk with a splash of Reggae and Trip Hop.
Her gaze at the past (Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan) never ceases to be oriented towards the future, to experimentation and innovation.
Shivers and soul vibrations that show no signs of diminishing with each repeated listen.
No. 1 Absolute❤. more
Annabel Lee
The haunting and melancholic Night-Club Jazz repertoire meets, in a dreamlike way, the evocative sweetness of Contemporary Folk. In dusty rooms with an ancient flavor, memories of Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Sara Vaughn, and even Beth Gibbons come to life. Dark Jazz, Contemporary Folk, Soul & Ambient. Deification. more

Immense artist endowed with great sensitivity, deep poetry, and heartfelt passion. Magnificent voice, beautiful soul. more
Premiata Forneria Marconi
In my opinion, they have always suffered for not having had a singer. I also prefer other Italian bands, even less famous ones. more
