This is his fifth album and it will surely add to his recognition as one of the most important contemporary Italian song writers and singers (although he was first 'discovered' in France).There's a marvelously poetic quality to the lyrics (which has helped earn him a comparison with Leonard Cohen), but you'll never pin down the music as Italian. Instead, there are stands of tango, jazz, rock, and folk that float through the compositions, ideas that seem to waft through the air rather that sit solidly, and that's part of the appeal. Nothing is musically fixed in Testa's world. The arrangements (by Peiro Ponzo) are nothing short of ingenious, brilliant little frames for Testa's words and rough, smoky voice. Their sheer sparseness heightens moods and fixes the focus very firmly on the lyrics.
