Pacifico
Dentro ogni casa

Something different, but ultimately the always dear and never predictable Gino De Crescenzo. For the fourth time, he gifts us another of his masterpieces, albeit in a slightly less abundant manner (10 singles compared to the 13-14 of previous albums) but the result is excellent, and for this, he is forgiven :D.

For his fourth work, the artist was strongly desired by Sugar of Caterina Caselli, which obviously allowed for a better advertising campaign and for what the CD and its artist are, it truly deserves it. You almost immediately notice that the voice (the singer's weak point) is better compared to that of past albums, and this can only bring joy to his fans.

The album opens with the sounds of glasses and the melancholy sound of violins, and indeed the first piece is also melancholic, a mix of hope and regret. A well-executed orchestra accompanies the song at times, ending cautiously as it started.
This transitions to the second track, "You Look Like a Leaf," where once again (after King Kong) Pacifico uses spoken word in one of his songs. It's dedicated to a woman overwhelmed by melancholy. The song remains calm throughout, with a light drum in the background and a piano.

The third single ("Slow") strikes significantly, for its lyrics, its music, and the voice. Perhaps one of the most beautiful pieces Pacifico has written. The background sounds are well crafted, with guitar and piano particularly standing out. It's impossible not to be moved by each "slow slow slow slow slow...". It's a total of 4 minutes and 55 seconds of pure melody, and in this, the voice is an advantage for its author, as it manages to remain calm even when the song soars.

Perhaps it's the fourth track ("A Boy") that leaves one a bit perplexed. The theme is a boy who died in an accident and the astonishment of his loved ones and the people. The words are not trivial for this single either, but I believe it's hard to immerse oneself in the song, and perhaps for this reason, the song says little.

The fifth track is "In the Burning Fire of the Heart." Strings dominate until the first minute, then accompanied by a very light drum. The song retains the style used by Pacifico in previous albums (it resembles "The Swing" as a genre).

This transitions to the track that anticipated the CD, achieving deserved success on the radio: "You Who Are Part of Me." The lyrics are not very long, indeed, but for a radio song, you can only have this. What particularly strikes in the single is the entrance of Gianna Nannini, a voice appropriately chosen for the song, which has repaid in this world the successes that, in a recent past, our singer has provided her with the mastery of the great author who has accompanied him since the first album.

The following track, "Without Breathing," is similar in genre to the previous "From Afar." Two minutes and thirty-five seconds of pure relaxation accompanied by a trumpet and a piano, with the total absence of drums.
In the song that follows ("Coins"), the style varies a little. You notice it from the mysterious tone the song takes on from the beginning and the double voice offset by a few tenths of a second. It strikes by repeating, in the second half of the song, word plays that incessantly lead to words like "doors, gratings..." with a piano maintaining a certain level of anxiety in the song until the entrance of violins that seem to relieve the melancholic state.

Another pop piece is the ninth track of the album, "Summer Will Come," where our singer has used the unique voice of Malika Ayane (an Italian-Moroccan singer of recent revelation). Drums, piano, and a dreamlike text. A well-executed blend of music and words. Perhaps the ending is not very successful, with an abrupt halt that might cause some disappointment for those who wanted the song to continue. Still, it's not the ending that penalizes the song.

In closing is the song that gives the album its title, "Inside Every House." Pacifico ends the splendid work with dreamlike music. What stands out most to the ear are the everyday life words heard halfway through the song, leaving space for the listener's imagination. Surely with this song, he has fully achieved his objective, namely to give a snapshot of the lives of different people by entering "inside every house."

Thus closes this splendid fourth masterpiece by Pacifico, an author of lyrics among the most sought after and a person of great human, as well as musical, qualities.
I might be biased in recommending the album, but if you find the opportunity to listen to it or have some spare change in your pocket to buy it, it is worth it.
