Tommaso Tam is an artist in the broadest sense. I'll start with that.
Tommaso Tam is from Udine, I'm told, and he plays in the band of the beloved Poggipollini (Captain Fede, the one from Ligabue's "Bologna e Piove", ndr...), but he has very little to do with the latter.
In the sense that he may well be a singer-songwriter like them, but unlike them, he doesn't have their "normality," if you catch my drift... "Al capolinea" was pointed out to me as a single, as nonconformist as it gets, because you haven't heard "Solo un brutto sogno", where you can hear the voice of a maniac threatening someone.
Tommaso Tam knows how to alternate Beatlesque moments then repent, rethink and make us rethink, throwing himself back into a parody of good old Bugo, which admittedly isn't always successful.
I appreciate it nonetheless, some passages are of high caliber, others much less so, at times it descends into the grotesque, but overall the record (released by Videoradio) flows well.
A note on the title, perhaps excessively daring, egocentric, and presumptuous ("Misogenio"), but I believe I've nonetheless captured the character, self-ironic and ultimately much more genuine than many flaunted new pseudo-idols of ours. Passed.
