THE REVIEW
Elisa has reached her fifth album and with this one, she gives her best, gifting us 10 gems meant (I hope) for the rest of the world... the internationality of these songs is also due to the presence of Glen Ballard as producer and co-author, who has worked with Alanis Morissette in the past and recently with Anastacia.
I should mention that in this album, there are no songs that overshadow others, they are all beautiful. Some have a harder sound, like the single "Together", while others are chilling ballads like "City Lights" (listen to it alone in the dark of your room, and at the chorus, a tear will surely fall).
This time I can only say: "Elisa is Elisa", she has acquired such artistic maturity and identity that I can no longer compare her to Morissette or Björk.
I recommend this album because it's worth investing 20 euros for a CD that exudes emotions from every single track and will certainly keep you company for a very, very long time.
PS: The cover you see is just one of the 10 included as a booklet. Remember to buy original CDs, guys!

"Once again, the little singer from Monfalcone has managed to enchant and mesmerize with her soothing voice, poetic lyrics written from the heart, and her great, indeed very great interpretation."
"'Together,' with its compelling chorus, becomes a clear warning message for the American people, who should protect themselves from the powerful oppressor Bush."
By e-bow
"Pearl Days is not the rock album one might have expected, but Elisa intended to return to the pop-rock of her origins with all the maturity and experience she has gained."
"The most impactful track is probably Joy, a song with a catchy refrain that seems to want to give the words the value of a mantra."
By hypnosphere boy1
An interim album, certainly poetic and intense, with openings to new insights but not yet focused on the new artistic direction.
Talent requires the test of time, and from 'Cure Me' and other hits enough years have passed.
