Seen-yoh-ray Teetz-ee-ah-no, would you be so kind as to sing

"Eleven very entertaining songs -- one in duet with the best-selling Italian recording artist Biagio Antonacci (it works) -- make a worthwhile purchase. If you have listened to Tiziano's other two albums to date, the sound is similiar, though -- as stated here on amazon -- more mature. Some of them have a more electronic sound, but -- again as stated above -- the whole album cannot be characterized as "electronic." TZN's passionate voice is strong in each recording, from the laments to the aggressive dance-floor rhythms. Three songs fit the dance category: STOP! Dimentica, E Raffaella e' mia, and Baciano le donne. I'm generally NOT a techno fan, or a dance music fan (exceptions are the many classics like "Superfreak"). I love the Italian language, and, as I've stated in my other "reviews" of Italian recording artists, the lyrics are enunciated (studenti d'italiano!), passionate, and fun (despite the melancholy themes/tone of many of them). The lyrics are all listed, in Italian, in the accompanying insert-booklet. Tracks are:



Tarantola d'Africa -- Ti scattero' una foto -- Ed ero contentissimo -- STOP! Dimentica -- E fuori e' buio -- Salutandotiaffogo -- E Raffaella e' mia -- La paura che... -- Baciano le donne (feat. Biagio Antonacci) -- Gia' ti guarda Alice -- Mio fratello



And let the CD play through to the very end as you will hear a hidden track with a very young Tiziano (he dates the recording at 1987) practicing a song. Though charming, his voice doesn't sound very promising. I guess Ferro's success should be all the more encouraging to parents with budding vocalists.



N.B.: To find the lowest price, Amazon patrons must often be creative with their search techniques. Try artist name alone, artist and keyword in title box, even try a possible mispelling if you can't find what you're looking for. Data entry mistakes are inevitable when there are millions of products offered and pressure on staff to enter the info quickly.



NESSUNO E' SOLO (and the other two CD-albums (and some CD-singles) by Ferro are also available in SPANISH LANGUAGE versions here on amazon.com."

The Italian Renascence

"With his impassioned enunciation of the Italian lyrics and his very dramatic music, Ferro has succeeded in achieving in this album what the insipid American-dominated world of popular music has long waited for - an Italian Renascence."
