Rating: Zucchero, as we know, is somewhat the soul of Italian blues. A multi-instrumentalist and an extraordinary songwriter, this is his second album. It brings with it a collaboration with Randy Jackson, who also accompanies him to the 1985 Sanremo Festival where, coincidentally, on a track with slightly different sounds than the usual pop (okay, the lyrics aren't exactly original) like "Donne," he's heavily criticized. Yet today we remember it much more than many other songs (I avoid opening more parentheses). New rhythm 'n' blues music with soul touches also naturally accompany "Ti farò morire" or "Tu mi piaci come questa birra," written by Alberto Salerno. Of lesser importance, both commercially and qualitatively, at least in my opinion, are the songs written by Cheope and composed by Zucchero like "Oh Stevie," and "Jimmy Jimmy." Perhaps not fully in tune with the album's essence, but it remains worth listening to the poetry of Mogol in "Una delusione in più." In short, Zucchero radically changes his style with this album, resulting in significant criticism both from the Sanremo juries and the public, and indeed it was a commercial flop. But we all remember it as a historic and important album for the growth of a singer who, for better or worse, represents Italy better than many others.
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
01 Donne (03:35)
Donne du du du
in cerca di guai
donne al telefono
che non suona mai
Donne du du du
in mezzo a una via
donne allo sbando senza compagnia
Negli occhi hanno dei consigli
e tanta voglia di avventure
e se han fatto molti sbagli sono piene di paure
Le vedi camminare insieme
nella pioggia o sotto il sole
dentro pomeriggi opachi
senza gioia ne dolore
Donne du du du
pianeti dispersi,
per tutti gli uomini cos� diversi
Donne du du du
amiche di sempre
donne alla moda donne contro corrente
Negli occhi hanno gli areoplani
per volare ad alta quota
dove si respira l'aria
e la vita non � vuota
Le vedi camminare insieme
nella pioggia o sotto il sole
dentro pomeriggi opachi
senza gioia ne dolore
Donne, ooh
Donne,
Donne
Donne,
Donne
Donne du du du
in cerca di guai
Donne al telefono
che non suona mai
Donne du du du
in mezzo a una via
donne allo sbando senza compagnia
