And then it’s said that rap isn't a great genre...
Francesco Bianconi - Il Bene (Lyrics Video)
Nothing, this album emotionally destroyed me.
Zorro
What was I saying?
10: Stai molto attenta
"Tell me in which comic you'll draw me, tell me in which ending you'll then wait for me." I couldn’t end it any other way. By referencing the dear world of comics. And with this, dear people, whoever wants to, share a symbolic piece of their romantic relationship using the hashtag #Nostalgiacavalla while listening.
9. La Fata
"Talking about women and their rights is indeed a very debated topic and should be approached with caution. But no one has ever done it like Bennato."
8. Personalità Empirica
"If we give in to the stops, it's hard to move forward."
7. Annarella
"An ending is less complicated than a beginning"
6. Ovunque proteggi
"Here, this is love. It’s not flowers, hearts, chocolate, beloved. It’s protection and commitment."
5. Samuele Bersani - Il Pescatore Di Asterischi (Official Video)
"Sometimes the world is strange and how artists attract each other." This phrase is mine. But damn true. Erbetta drew, I wrote. Fishermen of asterisks among the waves shaped like parentheses.
4. Radio Ga Ga (Remastered 2011)
"Immense piece of shit song. The success it had makes me feel sick," and there it was love.
3. Viaggi organizzati
"In the end, believing oneself to be free is not so different from not being free at all."
2. Pinguini Tattici Nucleari - Me Want Marò Back
"Oh, they joke about it, but there are really people like that in Italy." They were absolutely right. Nowadays, if I may say so, it's only getting worse.
After the review of T.R.E, I decided to do a little something nostalgic: NOSTALGIA CAVALLA, the 10 songs from "Erbetta" that take me back in time.
1.
Si No... non So (Comunque Ci Penso)
"Oh, if at your wedding (not necessarily with me) you start doing that, I'll beat you up"... I'd say there's not much else to add.
2. Everywhere Protect
After 6 long years of waiting, Vinicio released another great masterpiece. Everywhere Protect is an extraordinary album, a mix of genres and influences that make it enchanting (yet flawed) and at the same time dark. It all begins with a spiritual and driving piece like Non trattare, which probably contains one of Vinicio's most beautiful phrases (a donkey's jaw will defend your heart). Thus opens the first and most experimental part, where Brucia Troia swerves and shouts over almost hard-rock guitars, and Dalla parte di Spessotto cheers with that chorus featuring that band coming in. There’s so much to explore: from the Russia of Moska valza to Ancient Rome's Colosseo, with plenty of stops to admire L'uomo vivo and la Medusa cha cha cha. The second part consists entirely of ballads, where the melancholic Nutless, the heartbreaking Pena de l'alma, the mystical Lanterne rosse, the still heartbreaking Santissima dei naufragati, and the concluding and phenomenal title track stand out. In short, this album has a lot, indeed too much, going on, and the risk of Vinicio faltering at some points is high. Yet, nothing like that happens. On the contrary, Vinicio feels at ease even in musical territories never explored before (Moska valza, Brucia Troia), which is a tremendous merit because it’s what makes Everywhere Protect a unique album: experimenting with a clear purpose.
P.S.: Since it's hard to choose just one of these pieces to let you listen to, I decided this time not to pick the best song but a piece to be reevaluated, beautiful and unknown.
Meticulous rating: 10
The gem to rediscover:
