 Bad Girls is Donna’s last worthwhile record; the last one in which she collaborates with Moroder; the last one with the Casablanca label.

While marking the decline of Moroder and Bellotte's exclusive partnership, the album shines in tracks like 'Hot Stuff' and 'Dim All the Lights.'

 In Guccini, America is little more than a pretext, and this LP can be considered the account of that experience.

 Samarcanda just didn’t succeed, sandwiched between his two greatest masterpieces.

 ‘Per un vecchio bambino’ is a sweet, beautiful, and poetic track where the dad becomes a child.

This review discusses Roberto Vecchioni's album Samarcanda as a moment of lesser inspiration trapped between two masterpieces. While the title track remains famous, most songs are seldom performed live. The album includes fillers but offers some poignant autobiographical tracks that shine, making it a mixed yet interesting effort within Vecchioni's seventies work. Discover the nuanced layers of Vecchioni's Samarcanda—listen and explore the heartfelt moments behind its mixed legacy.

 Among strange references, it refers to an intellectual poet searching for values of goodness and purity in a perhaps idealized past.

 A Vecchioni with his back to the wall, with no more women to sing about, with a difficult family situation, thus a gloomy album, difficult.

This review praises Roberto Vecchioni's album 'Calabuig, Stranamore ed altri incidenti' as a complex and cryptic masterpiece. It reflects a period of personal transition marked by estrangement and emotional depth. The album demands attentive and repeated listening to grasp its intricate themes of love, loss, and idealized past values. Highlighted tracks include 'Il castello' and the title track, which provide keys to the album's overall meaning. It contrasts with Vecchioni’s more straightforward works, capturing a darker, more uncertain phase. Dive into Roberto Vecchioni's 'Calabuig, Stranamore ed altri incidenti' and experience one of his most profound and poetic works.

 Vecchioni is the most cheerful singer-songwriter, annoyingly optimistic, yet irresistible.

 It’s a 'city without women' that we set off towards this time, a city different from that of Vecchioni's already rich geography precisely because it’s without women.

Roberto Vecchioni's Montecristo album showcases his signature blend of optimism and melancholy through personal, poetic storytelling. The album explores themes of love lost and emotional resilience, with standout tracks like 'L'ultimo spettacolo' and 'Canzone da lontano.' It offers a mature, bittersweet reflection on relationships and solitude, maintaining Vecchioni's characteristic warmth and intellectual depth. Discover Roberto Vecchioni's poetic journey in Montecristo—listen now and feel the bittersweet emotions unfold.
