7th, Daniele Silvestri
It's not the artist, but the title of his debut. And honestly, despite being raw, and although not all the tracks are memorable, it flows very well: there are already huge sparks of talent in the beautiful "Voglia di gridare," but also excellent slow tracks like "Dove sei" and "L'uomo intero," and in between "Quanto è," a piece with interesting blues sounds at times. However, what truly makes this album stand out compared to all of Daniele Silvestri's others is how this project is set up: being a first album, it's much lighter than the subsequent ones; it's an album that, despite having beautiful pieces, doesn’t take itself too seriously, it doesn’t aim to develop songs with strong themes as it will mainly do in "S.C.O.T.C.H." This debut is a carefree record that begins with total self-irony in "Idiota" and continues in other tracks like "Datemi un benzinaio," "Paolo," and "Il flamenco della doccia," songs that already showcase our irony but here have even more room to breathe. It would be dishonest, however, to say that the album, in its entirety, is always at these levels: many tracks here are still just sketches that aren't particularly striking like "Non sono stato io," "Mi fido poco," "Amarsi cantando," and "Portami via," all songs that, in the economy of the album, neither add nor subtract; they are just there to add fluff to the tracklist, nothing serious but unfortunately present. Overall, this is a flawed album in many aspects, especially regarding the song writing, which is still very raw and not very impactful, but there are at least 4/5 pieces worth remembering and another couple that are pleasant, all in an album that, despite the lesser tracks, flies by beautifully, and 40 minutes and more feel like 20 minutes.
The meticulous rating: 8-
