virtualitalia.com's pick of the month
111 Centoundici, Tiziano Ferro
The tracks are a mix of hip-hop and R&B, labeled the Justin Timberlake of Italian Pop, Tiziano is a rich young baritone vocalist surrounded with strong pop melodies. The songs on this CD have hooks with a slight hint of "Italian flavor". The music is appealing and exotic. The track "Non Me Lo So Spiegare" is a melody that will stick in your head due in part to brilliance of his vocal delivery. It's unfortunate that TOP40 radio in North America does not go out of the box and become more adventurous attempting to introduce this artist to the public at large. If you like to discover new music and be ahead of the game, then I strongly suggest that you purchase this CD!
