Read Monovision and can not pop into mind the song that launched him . But when the first part of the sound track The wall seems to have almost been 20 years since that Ligabue. The sound is scratchy and gritty , with a slight debt to American-style rock involved , and only the piano so much emphasis care arrangements shows a much more mature ( the same one that will come back in two musical interludes in the mid- album). What happens to Luciano da Correggio ? After a tour in the pop , he returned to his dreams of rock and roll ? Or his soul is now (with) divided between the two genres? Compromised , they would say perhaps fans of the first hour. More modern facilities, hordes of girls who have come to know in recent years. Ligabue not churned out a disc of unreleased for three years and the expectation around this his tenth studio album was really great. And so the expectations . That are not at all disappointed.
The first single from The salt of the earth , although not one of the most successful pieces of the singer, had given the impression of a breakthrough both in music and in the lyrics of the rocker . Just listen to the disc in order to understand that it is not. Those who had hoped for a return to the origins of that rejoice ( Born to live and Under the guise of rock'n'roll ) . Who has always loved his ballads have music for your ears ( and Forever We are who we are) . In short Luciano seems to have thought a little ' at all. There are also several pieces in that unmistakable style Liga , much criticized by detractors , but much envied by all those who can not imitate him ( The volume of your lies and Snow cares ) . It will not be his best work , but it's a good album . And, what is not obvious , it improves with each listen .
Many have thought before hearing Monovision , misinterpreting statements of the same Ligabue, a hard political (in the sense of politicized ) . In political reality of this record has very little (and thankfully ), but certainly a hint of anger and indignation that denotes an intention social . There is also space for two good songs Personal : The earth trembles , my love, dedicated to his Emilia after the earthquake of 2012, and What's left of us , one of the most poignant songs of the entire repertoire of the singer. Almost every piece will have space on the stage, many will work properly in the stadiums and also gain some respite . How many are up to the best Liga ? Matter of taste , perhaps, but even if the level is good, there seems to be a piece that stands out over the others. Certainly it is clear which is the only song not really successful. You are she is the only stumbling block to Monovision surprising fact has been chosen as the second single (a little ' too commercial in wanting to wink at teenagers) . But the album as a whole is well structured, balanced and greets everyone with a bell'arrivederci sad but smiling is also an appropriate closure of the ladder in live ( I'm always dreams to shape the world).
