Francesco Tricarico

Italian singer-songwriter from Milan. Debuted with the single "Io sono Francesco" (2000); the self-titled album that followed achieved platinum status and established his childlike, autobiographical lyrical voice.

Reviews note his Milan origin, the 2000 single "Io sono Francesco", a platinum-selling self-titled debut album, conservatory training on recorder (mentioned in reviews), and a small cameo in Leonardo Pieraccioni's film "Ti amo in tutte le lingue del mondo" (mentioned in reviews).

Two DeBaser reviews emphasize Francesco Tricarico's poetic, childlike songwriting and autobiographical themes. The self-titled album is praised as a coherent, possibly masterful work; Frescobaldo nel recinto is seen as a stylistic evolution that some feel lost naturalness. Both reviews discuss childhood, loss and musical imagination.

For:Listeners interested in Italian singer-songwriters, poetic/autobiographical lyrics and inventive pop production.
