tells you words and makes you say words. This is the song, sung poetry.
"Modern Music" (Columbia, 2008) is called the new work of the Genoese singer-songwriter, eleven songs by heart, tell stories, they whisper and talk about dreams of a world, yet perhaps too fast, a journey through different sounds, which run without a defined melodic continuity.
And it is 'modern' sound you hear, the 'classic' that is proper. His compositional geometry with wisdom through the canon of melodic rock. Modern music, indeed. Generally known, well socialized, pop (popular), with the "consequences" vocal, choral and the only revenue that modulate and educate the listening. The sax to do the coloring, the counterpoint, the organ of Riccardo Tesi, bagpipes and flutes make the trip, organized what is the body! Dance! Everything is there, 'always equal'. All you need to tell stories. What is needed then sing, that voice.

"Modern Music" tells of a world that is too fast, populated by beings rushed and lost behind an idea of \u200b\u200bthe future that could become dangerously tasteless, stupid self-centered, "junk". Talk about TV, gossip and media processes ('The land of the witnesses'), as well as the water problem and dell'incetta of water resources by multinational companies ('The water war'). Tell western dreams made from the east, dalontano, where the world is still immersed in the past ('Last minute'). It is about love. Newborn love, emotional turmoil with the stomach ('Miss America'), acquired up to love, celebrated and forgotten ('Love does not speak any more') that declared aa romantic ('Modern Music').
