She has a nice voice and she's quite cute to look at, but I wouldn't spend a single euro to buy one of her records... with this crisis! If there's been so much talk about her change of look and not about the album, there must be a reason... in fact, every time I’ve heard her mentioned, it was always for her antics, never for her music!!
If I were to describe Dolcenera's first albums as great albums, it would really be an understatement. She relies on skilled producers, but why has she never focused, at the same time, on writing BEAUTIFUL songs? That's what I wonder. Bah, her business.
Gustavo, I have a curiosity. How did you manage to keep the rabbit still with a roll of toilet paper on its ears?? And above all... why did you put a roll of toilet paper on its ears?? ;-)
Comment 22 has been elected comment of the week just passed. Given the exceptionally high quality of this comment, it has been decided to make an exception and it has been elected comment of the upcoming week as well! Warmest regards!
I’m quite proud of having used the word "commento" no less than 4 times in just two sentences. I believe my elementary school teacher would be quite satisfied with that as well...
Bravo, keep splashing in your love for all things foreign. Grow up a little instead of listening to any rotten crap that comes from the States or the UK and snubbing anything that comes from Italy by default. Dolcenera is not just some Pausini, but an artist who writes her own songs and has a decent talent. Here, the tone is sunny, positive, much more than in the past; the voice is still beautiful and the melodies, while not particularly original, are nonetheless effective and the arrangements are spot on. It’s a decent Italian album to listen to without too many expectations. A couple of interesting lyrics (far less "committed" than in the past), while the rest are just nice sentimental lyrics and nothing more. Best tracks: Date A Cesare, Come Un Sole Splendido. The rating would be a 3.5. P.S.: listen to this album instead of wasting time on insignificant groups like White Lies.
Welcome to DeBaser! A somewhat sparse review, perhaps simply because it's my first. ;) I think the album is nice: Dolcenera has changed her look, but she has kept her talent—neither mediocre nor exceptional, but honest, clean, and effective—which positions her as one of the best young mainstream singers today. I have always liked her since the first Sanremo and her dark look, and she has vast room for improvement: she's already quite good, and I'm convinced that over the years she can only get better.
I don't find her that despicable; if she put in some effort, she could come up with some pretty nice stuff in my opinion... by the way, the Sanremo piece, maybe because it reminded me of the dearly loved Nada, I quite liked it.
Mmm... well, in the photo she doesn't look bad at all, almost... I only remember the first piece she did, wait, how did it go, "siamo di qua siamo di là andiamo dove ci va..." that song was pretty cute.
This isn't about being foreignophile; name one, just one of her songs that's worth mentioning! I remember her for the heavily made-up eyes, the faux-damned attitude, the reality shows... then she tries her last card, mini-skirt and seemingly sweet girl attitude, well, now she will surely reach great success. Far be it from me to defend Pausini, but at least she’s been consistent! Nada? The only thing left of Nada is just a memory! If she put in the effort, she could write beautiful things, fine... but even my grandfather would have been a pinball machine if he had three balls!
3 encouraging points for the review (I see this is the first one). As for the album, I won't express my opinion since I'm not familiar with it, just as I am not familiar with the artist's new creative direction. The problem with these artists is, unfortunately, always the same: until recently she was the somewhat angry sister of Robert Smith, now she'd be the perfect stepsister of Eva from "Cesaroni"! But come on, come on! I hope the same hasn't happened to the music, which at least in the past was quite enjoyable, but judging by your opinions!
Well, Gaius, maybe Dolcenera will have made a decent album this time (considering that my "trick" was personally aimed at the things heard before), but it takes a lot to create two masterpieces like "Tutto L'Amore Che Mi Manca" and "L'Amore E' Fortissimo E Il Corpo No," in my opinion...
mmm, guys, I didn't say it's like Nada but that the song brought to Sanremo has something that reminds me of it. I didn't even say that I like this album (I didn't vote because I haven't listened to it, by the way) but only that I perceive that the Dolcenera in question, if she wanted to, could probably do much more. Cheers!
I understand attacking Marco Cartaigienica and the other clichés of Italian and world music, but going after Dolcenera too... I don’t see the reason. She has always shown herself to be a lover and connoisseur of great Italian music (just look at the stage name she chose), she is an excellent musician, she has a voice, she has stage presence, offstage she is a calm person, and she even writes very respectable songs... and yet the criticism comes pouring in. Well, I don’t get it. In fact, I vote to raise the average a bit.
So, purely out of partisanship and a sense of "camaraderie," I join the comments 5, 7, 19, obviously 22 and related 23, 24, 25, 29, and 30. You should have seen how once Vanoni, I mean Vanoni (!) totally tore her apart on TV. Of course, the "sweetblack" was on the other side of the host, silently taking it all in. (the sweetblack, not the host). Hehehe.
@ alia76: well, it’s not excellent yet, no, but I hope it keeps getting better. For now, it deserves three stars; in the future, it'll be a lot if it can maintain them... if it goes up, even better.
Here are the usual comments... Of course, you are all Sinatra and/or Streisand in here? You play the piano better than Willem Kempf, Rubinstein, and Hancock put together, I assume? Let’s not even talk about lyrics... I imagine Mogol would give you a serious run for your money? Then I hear phrases like: if he/she put more effort... those phrases give me goosebumps... Yes, because Italy is the only country in the world where a singer-songwriter must be committed, must reveal some hidden truths, some philosophical theories... When 90% of the foreign music that has always been praised talked (I’m mainly talking about rock) about breasts, asses, sex, and assorted nonsense... But can you imagine, huh? If it was Jimmy Page or Muddy Waters holding the guitar... WOW... Sublime pieces, poetry... Even though, when you look closely, it was about a shag in a '58 Chevy with red leather seats... But can you imagine? Because I ask myself? Why?? Dolcenera’s first albums are beautiful, played and arranged with great care.... She has a voice and grit to spare, no doubt about it... The lyrics? Well, I remember "Luminal" immensely, just to name one, or that one on the delicate theme of "pedophilia" where she literally tears the piano apart and lets out desperate screams to emphasize the topic... Dolcenera has an incredible voice, and just by watching any live concert you can understand it!! Yes, she has a flaw, it’s true... Being born in this country of fools... If she had been born in the USA, she would be next to Emmylou Harris and many others... Regards
At first, she pretended to be a punk girl, now she plays the femme fatale, but the result is so fake that it causes an immediate laxative effect; De André is still turning in his grave over the name that was stolen from him, she should be beaten up just for that. P.S. a tip for those who don’t understand anything about music: almost everything that comes out of Sanremo is SHIT, so stay away from it, especially from whoever wins...
@Cool: I respect your opinion, I agree that she has a nice voice, and if you were referring to me, I was just responding to a user who was claiming that she could have done more. Let’s be clear, in my opinion, even if she were to light a candle to the Virgin Mary, she couldn’t do more; otherwise, she would have already done it, right? Since she hasn't succeeded, now she’s reinvented herself as a sexy girl, no longer smashing pianos, but sensually winking from the stage... Now, dear Cool, while Waters and Page may have talked about breasts and asses, they gave so much to music that I don't think a comparison is at all appropriate. Bye.
for once I'm almost in agreement with the trout... maybe it's the age, but for me even without a bag... well, if they went into porn I’d pay my tribute
This morning, like every Thursday, I went out to the road, the dangerous and nasty and dirty and cursed road, to throw away old magazines and newspapers in the paper bin. It’s a big yellow bin, with a nice big black uppercase lettering that reads PAPER. I don't remember exactly, but it seems to me that last week there wasn't another sign above that one, and yet this morning there was, big, black, in uppercase: MARCO. What does it mean?
this site is becoming a dumping ground for trash. I’m not referring to the reviewer or the item being reviewed, but rather to those who criticize anything that doesn't suit their taste. You’re starting to seriously make me feel pity for you and even a little disgust.
Every person moves three PAlle: GUYS, ONCE I SAW DOLCENERA AT A DISTANCE OF ONE METER: But this woman is a dwarf with a head that's a television. Well.... She can't do porn like this, she's really a dwarf. She must be one meter and 45. Even heavily retouched like here, she still looks awful. TERRIBLE!
I always hold on, as much as and more than Bossi. Anyway, when it comes to sex, we can find common ground; the historical compromise is just a step away.
What is sad is that probably 70% of those present didn't even listen to it. This Dolcenera album is a concept about love; it doesn't mean she abandoned her commitment. The only choice I believe she made for commercial purposes was the change in look, but that doesn't seem like anything serious to me. In fact, I found it ridiculous before when she was acting all dark and moody. A lot of trash goes through Sanremo, I totally agree, but something gets saved. Even Luigi Tenco, who was also a victim of Sanremo, was a participant in Sanremo. Subsonica emerged from Sanremo. The song presented by Gazzè last year was a gem, and he is a valuable artist. The piece by Afterhours isn't bad at all. The funny thing is that people who trash Dolcenera might speak well of Alanis Morissette, who, aside from that one album that even she doesn't know how she wrote, has written only crap. The mark left by Page and others is determined by the fact that Page and others are native English speakers. Wake up, it's time. Or do you really believe that if a large part of the music we listen to comes from the UK and the States, it's because they manage to express talents that don’t exist in other parts of the world? I mean... uhaahahaha Sure, in these countries there’s now a kind of know-how in the rock field, but for the rest, the massive spread of Anglo-American music is simply due to the linguistic factor.
Well, we Umbrians are experts at minestrone :) Anyway, look, my intervention simply contains various responses to some inputs; if you read all the posts, you might understand better.
A somewhat short review, but well written. The album is nice, it will be forgotten soon, but it is overall pleasant to listen to and some tracks are quite successful ("La più Bella Canzone d'Amore che C'è," "Dolcemente Come Niente," and "Date A Cesare"). The arrangements are good as well.
