Album Notes & Community Reviews

A unique conceptual project recorded in Italy, this release intersperses the singer's cool, breathy vocal performances with romantic spoken-word interludes recited by Italian actors. The atmospheric arrangements further emphasize the cinematic, melancholic mood that defines much of her international catalog.
