Full Disclosure: The bits of the Italian language I can understand are those I picked up from my Grandma screaming at me when I was a kid.

Still, I love this album. It's pure and joyful pop and the language barrier doesn't really matter. I saw Alex Britti perform on New Year's Eve 98 at the Forum in Rome. The crowd went crazy for him and after I heard the song that is track 2 on this album "Solo Una Volta" I knew I'd be buying the album the next day. I did and I don't regret it. Alex performed with just acoustic guitar when I saw him, but the arrangements are nicely fleshed out here. There are at least 5 songs on this album that you will end up singing along with even though you don't know what you are saying. Give it a shot. In a lot of ways he's stylistically close to Jovanotti (see the Soprano's soundtrack vol 2).

Correction: The song the other guy who reviewed this is talking about "una su un milione" is not on this album. It is on La Vasca. Buy that too.

UNA SU UN MIGLIONE BY ALEX BRITTI IS ONE OF THE MOST REALISTIC SONG I EVER HEAR ,IF YOU DO SPEAK ITALIAN OR UNDERSTAND IT ,YOU `LL SEE AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THA T HE EXPLAIN HIS LOVE BUT IN THE SAME TIME IS TELLING HER THAT NO MATTER WHAT ,SHE ALWAYS BE THE ONE FOR HIM, AND ALSO HE LET HER KNOW THAT SHE NEEDS TO BE PATION WITH HIM BECAUSE HE IS LEARNING ,HE LOVES HER,AND HE CAN`T DO WITHOUT HER
