Valentina Giovagnini
L'amore non ha fine

Here it is, the posthumous album of Valentina Giovagnini, who tragically passed away in a car accident in January.

This album had been awaited for a long time because she, after her experience at Sanremo, for various reasons that I won't go into, had lost hope and the will to release a new album.

Through fan contacts via forums, seeing that she was still loved, she decided to fight on and try to release a new CD in 2009.

Then the passing, and as far as I know, both her family and her closest collaborators decided to continue with this project anyway, donating the entire proceeds from the CD to a non-profit association dedicated to Valentina Giovagnini, and the first funds raised will be used for the construction of a cafeteria in Nicaragua. For more information, visit the site dedicated to her.

The CD offers 12 songs plus 2 ghost tracks, a mature CD, with two songs already presented in 2003, which are "Non pingo più", a pop rock song with classic tango sounds, and the other, "Voglio quello che sento" where you can hear a Middle Eastern inspiration.

In general, the CD is, as it says on its site, "...twelve songs plus two very intimate ghost tracks that go straight to the heart. The classic and the electronic, the Celtic and the acoustic, the tango and the progressive harmoniously blend with pop..." and I would also add with a touch of rock.

An album more mature than "Creatura Nuda", and you can already hear it from the first song that gives the title to the CD "L'amore non ha fine", where pop, classical, electronic, and a veil of progressive merge with a new experience for Valentina, a duet with the tenor Aldo Caputo: EXCELLENT SONG!!!

An acoustic pop/rock ballad with "L'altra metà della luna"... The third song, "L'attesa infinita" is in my opinion the worthy heir to "Il passo silenzioso della neve", and it makes me notice that the production of this CD is indeed nearly excellent, each instrument, from the classical to the electronic, is prominently present.

Another acoustic pop/rock ballad with beautiful folk nuances is "Continuamente"... The fifth and sixth songs are respectively "Voglio quello che sento" and "Non piango più", which I already talked about earlier.

With "Bellissima idea", "La mia natura", "Non dimenticare mai" and "Nei silenzi miei" the CD changes form, an astounding voice, and musically we have a rock-pop genre, a comparison with her colleague Elisa is spontaneous and she manages to stand out in this comparison.

"Sonnambula" is the eleventh song, and here we return to an electronic pop ballad with a gentle voice.

Back to Ireland at the heart of this soft/rock song "Ogni viaggio che ho aspettato".

The two ghost songs "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen and the very famous "Somewhere Over The Rainbow", two beautiful, intense, moving acoustic tracks that demonstrate the completeness of this artist, I am speechless for these interpretations.

THANKS MAINLY TO THE FAMILY AND THE COLLABORATORS FOR THIS GIFT, as you have noticed, I have described this CD as if the artist were still alive and she is in the hearts of the people who want to remember her for the gift she gave us: her voice.
