There are no words to explain Tiziano Ferro's latest work. Yet, a few words need to be spent for one of the best Italian albums the discography has produced.
Tiziano Ferro is an excellent, celestial singer-songwriter who, with one of the most beautiful voices ever heard, gives us 11 pieces of heart and songwriter's music. The first single "Stop! Dimentica" does not need much praise, just one is enough: "captivating". The entry track "Tarantola d'africa" is splendid!
"Ti scatterò una foto" is a masterpiece to listen to over and over again, a ballad of this kind is among the most beautiful Italian songs ever heard. Truly remarkable is "Ed ero contentissimo," where Tiziano's unparalleled voice with many nuances reaches the soul. "E fuori è buio" is an extraordinarily beautiful romantic ballad. It's impossible not to listen to it more than once "It's just that. . when you don't return and it's already late and outside it's dark there is no solution, this house smells of you". "E Raffaella è mia" is a song dedicated to the national Raffaella. Then there's "La paura che. . ." where Tiziano's vocal talents are even more remarkable. The track "Salutandoti affogo" is beautiful, a ballad with pop nuances.
The duet with "Biagio Antonacci" in "Baciano le donne" is the song I like the least. "Mio fratello" closes this authentic masterpiece. Indeed, because "Nessuno è solo" is an absolute masterpiece, comparable to the Beatles' albums in a certain sense, since it’s an album from which 11 singles could be drawn. This time Tiziano has truly outdone himself, giving us fans a record that is a real gem, probably the most beautiful by Tiziano, although it's always difficult to rank superior category products.
Masterpiece!
The album is very acoustic, sometimes reminiscent of sixties or ’80s atmospheres, it is dominated by acoustic guitar and rarely by electric guitar.
True genuineness is the suitable adjective for the songs; truth and simplicity are the only things people who are lonely need.
"The album’s most fitting adjectives are 'true' and 'authentic', all with the significant vocal abilities that Tiziano has always demonstrated."
"Tarantola d’Africa is a jewel for its lyrics and music, with a truly well-crafted and airy arrangement."
It is so explicit, without barriers or façades of convenience, revealing a guy who is not just a pretty face with a beautiful voice and a rogue smile, but also a person full of fragility and insecurities.
If there’s one thing this beautiful album is full of, it’s the sense of loneliness.
Rating: 2 out of 5 – a letdown from a major artist.
Listeners expecting something groundbreaking may be disappointed.
