"A swirling, emotional journey from love to loathing and back again, this woman holds nothing back. I still get chills listening to 'meravigliosa creatura' - her voice and guitar are particularly raw and honest. The CD explores emotional landscapes from unaduterated passion to softer, more introspective songs including 'voglio tu profumo' and 'piangero'. The track 'Nina Nera' is a playful swipe at a word-paly on her name overlaid on a children's song. She writes, sings and plays guitar with fire, passion and guts. A true Italian rocker, but she's a consummate song-writer. Well worth listening to whether you're a long-time fan or first time listener. You'll be back for more."
