2nd place: Caramella smog
After the success of the best of "Che vita," Samuele could easily rest on his laurels and take a break... but instead, he’s working on another album where he completely reinvents himself. If Samuele was, until the early 2000s, a singer-songwriter with a veneer of lightness and optimism in his songs, with Caramella smog he becomes an observer of reality in its most controversial and sickly aspects. The sounds become much sharper, with the introduction of slightly more rocking arrangements and a tendency to experiment with something different. The horrors of the world are described in the lamentable Socio di minoranza and the more challenging and experimental title track, but there are also lighter moments like Il destino di un VIP or Salto la convivenza. There's the deconstruction of love in Se ti convincerai, the sickly twist of the media in Cattiva, fragments of hard, everyday life in Conforme alla CEE and Meraviglia, and of artistic life in Concerto, along with another musically experimental piece like Binario 3. But, as with every Samuele album, there’s an outsider, a track that somehow stands out even if it might not be as good as the others: in Samuele Bersani we had Giudizi universali, which was different from the rest due to its strong cynicism; in L'aldiquà there was Occhiali rotti, a cheerful march on a not-so-cheerful topic; in Manifesto abusivo there was a truly unusual Valzer nello spazio for our artist; in Nuvola numero 9 there were Reazione umana, Spia polacca, and Il re muore, which clashed with the lightness and joyfulness of the album; and in Cinema Samuele there was Il tuo ricordo, the only track more classically Bersanian on the album. And in Caramella smog, there’s Pensandoti, a sweet portrait of protection and affection toward another person set to a bossa nova rhythm. Despite the world crumbling around us, I remain here to support you, is the underlying message of Caramella smog: everything will fall apart, but we'll still be here.

Erykah Badu Tribute To Chaka Khan - Whatcha Gonna Do For Me

This graceful girl, equipped with a gargantuan megacespuglio extralarge, could even sing "Frère Jacques," which would still have my full approval.

Artistic, ça va sans dire.
