5.0 out of 5 stars A standout debut of musical influences, soul and talent, November 30, 2002

This review is from: Rojo Relativo (Audio CD)

I first heard of Tiziano Ferro on Spanish radio and from MTV España; two of his videos (Alucinado and Perdona) are in near-constant rotation. I was instantly hooked on Xdono (Perdona in Spanish), a catchy tune that sounds suspiciously like the chorus to Craig David's "Can't Be Messing Around" off his debut album "Born To Do It." But Tiziano is no copycat--he wrote his own lyrics and music to every song, an impressive feat for a 22-year old. Tiziano joined a local gospel choir in his hometown of Latina, Italy when he was 16, which instilled in him a love for Afro-American music, which "Rojo Relativo" ("Rosso Relativo" in the original Italian) shows off very nicely, along with great mixing and slick production values.

The thirteen songs are a mix of R&B, soul, and gospel in Spanish, Italian and English. Some tend to be more uptempo ("Perdona" and "Xdono", "Las Cosas Que No Dices," "Primavera Nunca Fue,") with softer, slower ballads in between ("Alucinado," "Y Mas," "El Confin"). Tiziano really shines when he belts in a soulful, almost gospel voice on "Boom Boom and "Soul-dier"--indeed, his English diction is better than some native speakers. The rapidfire lyrics, catchy rhythms (the aural equivalent of breakdancing on some of the fast songs), and beautiful slow songs (including my personal favourite "Alucinado" ("Imbranato" in Italian). Fans of Craig David, R&B, and neo soul should enjoy this fine debut outing by a rising star.

This North American EMI release comes with three bonus tracks: "Imbranato" (Italian version of "Alucinado"), a radio edit of "Alucinado," and a killer salsa remix by D-Menace of "Alucinado."
