Francesco Renga

Musician

Italian singer-songwriter, former lead vocalist of the rock band Timoria who launched a solo career and achieved Sanremo recognition.

Former lead singer of Timoria; launched a solo career with the album "Francesco Renga" (2000). He won the critics' prize at Sanremo in 2001 with "Raccontami" (mentioned in the reviews) and is publicly known for winning the Sanremo Festival with the song "Angelo". Publicly reported personal details appearing in reviews include a relationship with Ambra Angiolini and their daughter Jolanda.

DeBaser reviews present a mixed reading of Francesco Renga's solo work: strong vocals and moments of authentic songwriting sit alongside criticisms of commercial sweetness and uneven material. Early solo albums (Francesco Renga, Tracce) are praised for voice and emotion; later works (Camere con vista) draw sharper criticism. Overall the reviews chart a transition from rock roots to mainstream pop.

For:Fans of Italian singer-songwriters, listeners of 1990s–2000s pop-rock, and vocal-centric music fans.

 An introduction that tastes like confirmation, a point of arrival for a new beginning.

 Two years later, another Sanremo and another album, this one. Okay, many Timoria fans will slaughter me for this choice, but with this album, Francesco Renga's voice entered my heart.

 Now he’s no longer here; in his place is a jumble of sugary sounds and stupid lyrics in the style of "sun-heart-love."
