CatPower A top twenty: N° 16
WHERE IS MY LOVE - CAT POWER

A top-notch singer-songwriter, driven by deep melancholy and alcohol. She hurts you, but seeks to soothe that pain. Chen Marshall, a vaguely "dark-folk" chanteuse, indie-rocker, has only the name of a fool, and possesses all the beauty of the underdogs from the start and the cyan splendor of the fog.

I already posted it and no one gave a damn, but above all I didn’t mention @[sfascia carrozze] (this time I hope I tagged him correctly, otherwise we banned the wrong one) that when he likes it he will also be a slave to tekno(casa)

7. The Clouds
After the colossal international experiment of ethnic music in the Genoese dialect with Creuza de ma, De André took many years for a new work. But the long wait was fully rewarded with the exceptional Le nuvole. An album where the experience from the previous album is blended into yet another concept album analyzing, on one side, the powerful and, on the other, the poor souls who perpetually live in the shadow of these figures. The record, however, opens in a very particular way, with the title track: a monologue recited by two ladies (one younger and one older) where the continuous movement of the clouds is described in a very poetic manner. After such a load of pathos, we move on to an interesting Ottocento, which, if we may say, encapsulates the meaning of the entire album, a very famous Don Raffaè (written with Ivano Fossati, who also contributes in A çimma), and a dystopian and heart-wrenching La domenica delle salme, where the moral and political decay of Italy is rendered with totally disillusioned clarity. The second side tackles lighter themes: everyday life stories of a hypochondriac man (Megù megùn), a cook who prepares a typical Genoese dish starting at dawn (the already mentioned A çimma), and a man who falls in love with a donkey (Monti di Imola, which for the joy of the de-sarder is sung entirely in Sardinian). Le nuvole once again testifies to De André's artistic growth, where he manages to find a balance between the experiments of Creuza de ma and his past production.
Meticulous rating: 9+

#CatPower A top twenty: N° 17
Cat Power - Free
Sometimes monochord, sometimes it pounds the songs, especially the covers, but she is a top-tier singer-songwriter, propelled by a deep melancholy, the pain of living personified, and alcohol. When she hits the right chords, without indulgence, it bites your heart, but she apologizes and tries to make it bleed a little less. Chen Marshall, "dark-folk" chanteuse, indie-rocker, who flies with wings of wax, has only the name of a fool, and all the beauty of the defeated from the start, along with the cyanotic splendor of the fog.
