5.0 out of 5 stars A new album from Cesare Cremonini, July 16, 2005

Don't be put off by the busy and unusual album cover.

This is pleasant Italian pop music, all written by the talented and imaginative Cesare Cremonini, who also performs the lead and backing vocals, most of the keyboards, and some of the guitar.

The album ends with a nearly ten-minute work for two pianos called "Linda & Moreno," followed by an equally long and mostly wordless ghost track. Given my interest in two-piano music, I found this intriguing.

Lyrics are included, as well as dates and locations for an October, 2005 nine-concert tour, with each concert in a different Italian city.

This review is from: Maggese (Audio CD)

If you like Italian pop music, you will like Cesare Cremonini (lead singer of Luna Pop). His lyrics are slightly corny but are backed up by his obviously thorough musical training as evidenced by the less-than-obvious chord changes, instrumentation, and electronic sounds.

There is a lengthy piano piece at the end which is incongruous on an album full of commercial pop. It seems that with Cesare's fame he is able to take more liberties on his latest albums, and the out-of-place piano rambling along with the odd ghost track are evidence of this.

The songs themselves, though, are enjoyable and the album as a whole is well done.
