The Profile

Giorgia is an Italian singer-songwriter from Rome known for a powerful, soulful voice that bridges pop, soul and R&B. She rose to national prominence in the 1990s, won the Sanremo Music Festival in 1995 with Come saprei, and has since released acclaimed singles and albums including E poi, Di sole e d’azzurro, Ladra di vento and an MTV Unplugged set.

Italian pop/soul vocalist active since the early 1990s; winner of Sanremo 1995 with Come saprei; notable songs include E poi, Di sole e d’azzurro and Gocce di memoria; recorded MTV Unplugged in Milan with acoustic reinterpretations and covers (e.g., Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, the Pretenders), featuring guests such as Terence Blanchard; Ladra di vento includes tracks like Vento del deserto and L’eternità and marked a strong authorial and R&B/dance turn.

Three reviews tackle Giorgia’s pop-soul arc: a divisive Ladra di vento (bold R&B/dance turns, many ballads), a praised MTV Unplugged with elegant rearrangements and guests, and an affectionate nod to Senza ali and her Sanremo-era material. Consensus: stellar voice; debate centers on songwriting, arrangements, and consistency.

Notable Quotes

❝ An ambitious album, in my opinion too ambitious for someone like Giorgia, who confirms herself as a top-tier interpreter and a much more modest author/composer.
❝ This MTV unplugged shows that Italian pop music still has something to say, that one can be influenced by many musical trends without needing to sell out their identity, and thankfully, it's not just Pausini and Ramazzotti.
