Mario Biondi - A Catania bald is the new star of the third millennium

After years of playing Mario Biondi arrived in peak sales don "I love ou more-live"


Alessio Brunialti - (from "Free" 22/12/2007)

... Mario Biondi, or by "and who is he" a " we hope to host him in Sanremo "in just over a year. Not that this cute bald from Catania velvety voice has not made her beautiful mess.

Indeed, it has too many years of local nightclubs and piano bar behind it, perhaps without much hope of being able to guess the right one, especially at a time like this, when success is difficult to measure in record sales because, very simple ply, not a cd if they sell more than enough.

Instead "This is what you are" has accomplished the miracle: it is a blockbuster perfect, simple, with a crescendo that makes it progressively more attractive, relatively easy to store and, as he said Charles Trenet, "quand on est à court d'idées on fait la la la la la" when no words enough to sing "la la la" and you're done. Not that everything has come to ride, indeed. Incision of the piece to its past explosion at least one year as Nick The Nightfly DJ accomplices and fellow Anglo-Saxons who were innanlorati a good song for all songs, even as simple stacchetto radio.

A Sicilian singing English

Moral: "Handful of Soul ", the disc created in the wake of that success, you have installed with unsuspecting security topped the charts and was able to make the company, launching as Biondi first new Italian star of the Third Millennium. Of course, does not sing in the language of Dante. On the contrary: the liner notes of his work s ono strictly in English and this might turn up their noses at boring theorists speak-sings-like eating. But shake the shoulders of an inferiority complex and provincialism, for once, "nun is sin."

Meanwhile, Mario, as they say, she takes off her great satisfaction. In concert at the Teatro Smeraldo Milan, as well all'affiatato High Five Quintet, where he distinguished himself the trumpet as a great jazz musician Fabrizio Bosso, in addition to the same "Nightfly" to do the honors, has been called on stage a great training, Duke Orkestra, direct master Beppe Vessicchio ineffable.

The result is "I love you more" double live album released just in time for Christmas. It may seem premature for an artist, after all, just emerged from anonymity, already made such proof, but certainly does not consider Mario Biondi, exactly, a star like all the others.

the footsteps of Barry White

and interpreter of music intriguing because it has certainly strong Afro-American heritage, including jazz, soul and rhythm and blues (in the oldest of the term), but there is also some ideas that pop him closer to those characters in the round that seem to belong to a past tense of showbusiness. And it is undoubtedly the hottest of the various Bublé which is approached by someone. The other comparison, because when you are short definition tends to approach to something known, with Barry White. Of course, even if both are mellow voices of the late leader of the Love Unlimited Orchestra had at least an octave lower in most. In any case, to emphasize that there is competition slavish copy it, there is a performance of "Just the Way You Are" by Billy Joel, workhorse for the 'great black vocalist.

Other classics? L 'unforgettable "Close to You" BurtBacharach, "Slow Hot Wind" by Henry Mancini, "On a Clear Day", the beautiful "I Can not Keep From Crying" Al Kooper, at least two pieces signed by the great Bill Withers, "I'm her daddy" and "Hello Like Before," a model so that even if, perhaps, less famous than Barry White, Luther Vandross, Lou Rawls and.

the headlines stands glaring absence: where the heck is "This is what you are"? Possible that if it is lost? Quiet: it is basically, as "hidden track", so popular that, in some ways not even need to write the title. And the public, without being praying, waving, singing "la la la." Honor all 'author, then, that this is Mario Ranno, then, that the same Biondi will be an excellent singer but also a very thick pen. What can I say? A Christmas present to the class.
