Album Notes & Community Reviews

Considered a peak within the Italian 'canzone d'autore' tradition, Fossati blends profound, intellectual poetry with highly sophisticated art-pop arrangements. The record elegantly integrates global rhythmic influences into a deeply moving, expansive adult-contemporary framework.
