Tiziano Ferro
Nadie esta solo

BUT ALSO IN SPANISH NOOOOOOOO.....  

The National Tiziano turns to Spanish because, since in Italy he "sells little" (and I also wonder why), he has decided to make the Spanish version of his album since the Italian version wasn't enough. All sarcasm aside, reviewing this album is like reviewing the Italian version. The only note is that sometimes, Spanish blends better than Italian in some pieces, like in "Taruntula d'Africa" and "Y estaba contentissimo" (the Spanish version of "Ero contentissimo"). The album might be better compared to the previous ones, but this doesn't mean it's a masterpiece. It's an album for Italian, Spanish, and all other Latin teenage girls from ages 13 to 18, even if it's not fair to generalize. A good part listens to Lee Ryan & Co.. And my brother comments: - Minchia! And then...- But let's get back to the album in question. The duet with Biagio Antonacci is terrible, which even in the Spanish version remains in Italian, and from there on, it's back to the Italian version of the album. Perhaps after eight tracks in Spanish, Tiziano got tired of singing in Spanish. The other songs unwind as if you were watching "Three Steps Over Heaven," it seems that each piece is made to be inserted as a soundtrack in the "Italian cinematic masterpiece of recent years"  (a comment from a conversation with a friend of mine. What kind of people do I hang out with!!!!) Anyway, it's like listening to the same thing over and over again except for "Stop! Olvidate" and "Y Raffaela es mia" which are perhaps more original, but not brilliant.  The only two positive notes, or at least the only two songs I appreciated are "Y Esta Oscuro / E Fuori è buio" and "Despiendote Ahogo / Salutandoti Affogo".

However, after all these criticisms, I'd like to defend one of the best Italian products of MTV in recent years, he has a great voice. The experience and talent are evident but above all can be heard.  Another aspect that should be highlighted in my opinion are the arrangements; because this time they are really well done. This comes from someone who would like an orchestra to record with. Violins aside, even the guitar arrangements are well done; sure, they're not Malmsteen or Steve Vai, but within the ensemble of the songs, they are placed just right and even the other instruments are meticulously crafted.

In essence, an excellent album for the market and all the various MTV, All Music, and similar, it certainly won't let Tiziano Ferro's name get lost among the flood of wannabes that come out "more every day."  

Final curiosity and then I'll stop bothering you, I watched on Mtv.it the podcast of the Storytellers episode dedicated to him and I must say that in the end, the only good thing about this album and Tiziano Ferro's entire production is his voice, truly clear and warm.
