Annalisa I had never seen nor heard sing live (I met her two minutes, the time for a handshake when he accepted the award for Best Video of the PVI emerging artist of 2011). I discovered it to "Friends of night," and I was impressed because it was different from the other singers in the competition. Not screaming, not crying, not squirming: was composed of discrete, "modern". Best of the songs that he sang, he sang new songs, up to the songs that played when he sang songs already known. A promise already partially realized, wishing to be carefully monitored (no offense) a repertoire better than what had been available so far.
"No offense," I say not to you, but to the authors: the people of profession and worthy of respect, as Federica Camba, Dario Faini, Andrea Amati, Roberto Casalino, Francesco Campedelli, people in this third album is almost Annalisa all this with his own compositions - but apart from a few exceptions, they are not to sign the songs more interesting and "new" to "I can not dance."
The absolute best is "The First Time", a delicate and intense comp signed by Ermal Meta, La Camilla Fame. Meta is also the author of "I can not dance" (one of the two songs presented in the race in Sanremo by Annalisa, the one that has been eliminated), "you and I we" and cosigner (with Faini) of "Shoot my love" substantially , to my taste, the most interesting songs on the disc. The other, well, "Sparks", Faini and Antonio Galbiati, is a very good writing - vaguely Elvis the period 1974/1975, "The pink garter" and stuff like that - that Annalisa sings with confidence and the right of aggression that there is evil, "Alice and the blue" seems a little something less than the repertoire of Arisa (by the way, here and there the voice of Annalisa brings to mind that of Arisa - and you know that as a compliment) and the similarity back in "All the other people," written by Annalisa with Pino Perris, which is the remake of a song, "The Other People", written by one Annalisa before starting his solo career. "In my own way I love" is a very old song from the plant: it could come out of a Sanremo sixties, which in itself is not a defect or a limit, but it forces Annalisa singing as Anna Identical - which is not beneficial. It's ok "I'll be back to love", signed by Casalino with Nicholas Verrienti, but I get the impression that it is saved arrangement and interpretation, could have become one of the songs scream of Emma.
About arrangement and production: the novelty is that nut Parisini, which had produced with Nicolò Fragile "Nali" in 2011 and had produced only "While everything changes" (2012), has given way to David Graziano, musician and Turin former drummer of Africa Unite. It should be remembered here that Graziano is the life partner of Luciana Littizzetto, host of the Festival of Sanremo 2013, and do so with a suggestive wink: I did, because it's my job. But Graziano is good and has packed a good job - putting much of her, as I understand it.
Annalisa sings of how you can not tell that well, is in tune, expressive, capable of giving color to the sentences. And here I imbalance: if he - or if those who guide him leave to do - get rid of the remnants of his coming "talent", and wants to become a point of reference for young authors less aligned (the previous album were, to say Two songs Giulia Anania, that the new generation is one of the most promising pens), it could become the new Fiorella Mannoia which the Italian scene so desperately needs. I wish him, and I hope so
