Three reviews chart Nathalie Giannitrapani’s rise from X Factor 2010 winner to a respected Italian-Belgian singer-songwriter. In punta di piedi won attention for its atypical single. Debut album Vivo sospesa leans soft-rock with elegant arrangements but mixed views on lyrics. Anima di vento sharpens into indie-rock, recorded at Abbey Road, with notable collaborations.
