Eugenio Montale
I’ve walked down at least a million steps with your arm in mine, and now that you’re not here, there’s emptiness at every step... 5 is too little, almost offensive. more

Franco Simone
Balancing between light music and singer-songwriter songs, he has never carved out his well-deserved space. To me, he will always be great. more

5 for life. Masters. 'Anima mia', 'Un'altra donna', 'Preghiera', 'Innamorata'. 5 for life. And I'm not trolling. more

Ivan Graziani
Probably the most underrated Italian singer-songwriter of all time, musically a rock soul, lyrically poignant, and occasionally playful. Ivan forever. more

Cliff Martinez -The Neon Demon
Soundtrack of the eponymous and latest film by Nicolas Winding Refn. I have a deep appreciation for Cliff Martinez and place great value on his collaboration with Refn, and this particular case is no exception, where I consider Martinez's musical contributions central to the structure of the film, serving as a backbone or, better yet, something as essential as the plot and the content of the scenes. However, listened to outside of the film, this time Martinez's music has convinced me less than on previous occasions and less specifically than what he has done in collaboration with Refn before. There remains something that a fan of synth-wave or kitschy ambient and electronic music can certainly appreciate. more
Beck -Morning Phase
An ideal continuation of ''Sea Change'' but in an even more intimate version with sounds and lyrics that are even more fluid, in the highest sense of the term. Deep and psychological. A concept album to listen to when you want to be with yourself, in your best moments. more
Algiers -Algiers
Self-titled debut album of the band from Atlanta, Georgia, released via Matador Records. Received very positively by both music lovers and critics, I listened to it belatedly, a year after its release, without knowing exactly what to expect. In practice, I would say it is a kind of experimental neo-soul. The sounds are dark and nod to gospel while paying homage to a certain post-punk tradition, even if it lacks the violence and sexy drive that bands like Gun Club or Birthday Party might have had. I like the idea, but the result is not exceptional. Nevertheless, it remains an interesting album that, being easy to listen to, can work well for any type of listener. more
Spain -Carolina
Josh Haden and Spain's previous album, 'Sargent Place', left a very positive impression on me despite a lukewarm response from both the public and critics, leading to Haden's decision to completely overhaul the band by changing nearly all the performers and musicians. The result of these changes is 'Carolina', which can be described as an impeccable album in terms of purely technical aspects and arrangements, but it evidently lacks those 'punches' that somehow shake the listener. Nevertheless, it's still a good album, let's be clear: a confirmation of the great style and class of one of the bands that perhaps have received fewer accolades than they truly deserve over the past twenty years. more
Shane Black -The Nice Guys
We are in Los Angeles in 1977, and a private investigator (Ryan Gosling) and what could be defined as a downright bruiser (Russell Crowe) are investigating the disappearance of a girl, soon finding themselves caught up in something that involves the worlds of gangsters and pornography, as well as politics and the justice department. It’s a fun comedy more than a true thriller or action film, and it’s precisely in its comedic elements that its strengths lie. Great, as long as it stays appropriately light-hearted and doesn’t aspire to become something different, otherwise it risks feeling too familiar, seen too many times before. more

Mariama Bâ -Le chant écarlate
Mariama Ba was a political activist and one of the most prominent intellectual figures in the Senegalese cultural landscape of the last century. Always at the forefront, particularly in the battles for the emancipation of Senegalese women, in this small posthumous novel, she tells the story of an evidently impossible love affair between a black Senegalese man and a white French woman. While the story starts from positive premises where the meeting of the two cultures seems possible through love, the ending—so tragic and laden with despair (yet unexpected)—shatters this enchantment and brings the reader back to the harsh reality of the facts. Which is the harsh reality of the facts where each person fails to see beyond their own nose and to go beyond their own cultural and social limitations. more
The Beatles -Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
The second masterpiece of the Beatles, not their best. I don’t know what the hell goes through Rolling Stone’s mind to call it the greatest album of all time, but it remains a masterpiece nonetheless. "A Day In The Life" speaks for itself. more
