La voce umana

THE REVIEW

I liked this album from the Intro with the words of Jean Cocteau and the voice of Anna Magnani attempting to save love through a final phone conversation. It continues with 7 tracks that tell the search for human contact, too often superficial today: the ability to express oneself and the desire to find oneself again in “L’invenzione del Blues” and “Maria Maddalena”, the will to break both physical and mental barriers in “Berlino est” and “Piove a Nagasaki” and finally the joy of coming together in “A te” and “Lido di Venezia”. Musically, it reminds me of the more romantic Bluvertigo, which alternate the priority of words with the strong presence of electronics, yet always keeping a singer-songwriter melody that sticks in your head for days. I believe it is an excellent debut, even with good production, and that this singer-songwriter still has much to say. The cover is also very evocative, featuring him and his wife suspended over the sea of Lido di Venezia where this album was born.
