THE REVIEW

After eleven years from the last, splendid, album of the trilogy, Enzo Carella returns to the market, opening the second part of his career. Carella De Carellis offers half new material and half repertoire songs, precisely with the aim of rediscovering the old songs as well.

The album is released by Vincenzo Micocci’s It, which had already published Vocazione and Barbara e altri Carella, and will also publish the subsequent album in 1995.

The five tracks in the first part all seem to lean towards the initial phase of the artistic journey, which means a semi-funk style with an ironic interpretation and whimsical lyrics, always composed by the fellow Pasquale Panella.

The references to food are immediately present here as well, starting with "Aspetta e Spa", just as they were present in Lucio's Don Giovanni.

The best tracks turn out to be precisely the opening track and "L'occhio nero", slightly below are "Bubbà" and "La pappa del cuore", while "Pensa se una" seems to get lost.

Side B contains five classics from his catalogue, with occasional overdubs. The best ones are naturally "Malamore" and "Barbara", but personally, I also adore "Carmè".

What to say? An album that brings Enzo back on the scene, between old and new, but it will be necessary to wait three years to listen to a complete and superior caliber work.
