 The album title alludes to the spirit for the theme evidently binding all the tracks, but also to silence, and not just because of the opening track, but because there’s also singing in silence.

 Ilsilenzioelospirito is a sufficient work, sung and played with professionalism and some remarkable glimpses.

Eugenio Finardi's album Il Silenzio & Lo Spirito presents a spiritual and acoustic musical journey combining traditional songs, Leonard Cohen covers, and original pieces. The album demonstrates professional musicianship and some standout moments, though it falls short of exceeding expectations when compared to Finardi's earlier works.

 OFado surprises because a record ABOUT Fado was managed to be made, a unique episode deserving attention.

 Saudade, that truly untranslatable feeling into Italian, is really untranslatable even in musical execution, outside Portuguese contexts.

Eugenio Finardi’s 'Fado' is an experimental album blending Italian rock with traditional Portuguese music, featuring collaborations with notable artists. The work offers faithful yet restrained renditions of classic Fado songs, with a focus on musical cohesion. However, the review notes that the album, while surprising, falls short of fully capturing Fado’s deep emotional essence, especially the untranslatable feeling of saudade. The project is considered noteworthy but uneven in its impact. Listen to Eugenio Finardi’s unique Fado tribute and explore the rich cultural blend of Italian rock and Portuguese tradition.

 The title track, very beautiful in both lyrics and music, complete with a naturally "wet" video!

 Eugenio would define Sanremo as a "stupid contest by ignorant little Italy": well, who can blame him!

 "Eugenio would consider this Secret Streets an extemporaneous experience, and the following year he would release one of the finest albums of his entire career."

 "The album makes it to 4 stars due to the instrumental work (Lucio Dalla on clarinet) and successful international aspirations by a singer-songwriter who, being Italian-American, does not have the pronunciation issues that Lucio Battisti had."

Secret Streets by Eugenio Finardi is a transitional album marking his international ambitions with English adaptations of Italian songs. Featuring contributions from notable collaborators like Mark Harris and Lucio Dalla, it blends rock and blues influences. The album showcases Finardi’s dual Italian-American heritage with strong pronunciation and diverse musical styles, earning it a solid 4-star rating. Despite being seen as an extemporaneous experiment, it set the stage for his later acclaimed works. Listen to Eugenio Finardi’s Secret Streets and explore a unique blend of Italian songwriting with international rock and blues flavors.

 Roccando rollando, despite its title, does not fully convince and contains much less rock and roll than the title suggests.

 "Legalizzatela" clearly refers to soft drugs, outlining the difference between soft and hard drugs with a reggae rhythm.

Roccando Rollando, Eugenio Finardi’s fifth LP, is a partly successful continuation of his political series, featuring less rock and roll than expected. The album blends reggae and calypso rhythms with socially conscious lyrics, including themes on soft drug legalization and personal fears. Although familiar in its themes, the album marks a stylistic shift as Finardi changes his musical environment. Overall, it is appreciated but not as strong as his earlier works. Discover Eugenio Finardi’s unique blend of rock, reggae, and political lyrics—listen to Roccando Rollando now!

 Francesco has created his own style, which you may or may not like, or may tire of over time, but it is undoubtedly recognizable.

 I do not know how long the “Gabbani-formula” can last and please, and not end up, in its “originality,” eventually no longer original.

Francesco Gabbani's album 'Volevamo solo essere felici' continues his recognizable style with a blend of catchy melodies and playful, culturally rich lyrics. While some tracks stand out, like 'Spazio tempo' and 'Tossico indipendente,' others like the singles 'In rete' and the title track are less impressive. The album garners a modest 3-star rating, reflecting solid craftsmanship but some doubts about the lasting appeal of Gabbani's formula. Discover Francesco Gabbani's latest album and explore his unique blend of playful lyrics and catchy melodies.

 The album is refined, enjoyable, and never falls into the banal or trashy.
