Great arrangement, GREAT voice, beautiful packaging---when I bought Ms.Giordano's Prima Donna, I thought this was THE album to "DO IT." (Although her self-titled album 6 years ago was stunning, this is a KILLER...a masterpiece!) Then I realized it was only available in Japan and the much-needed hype is still absent. Anyway, here are my thoughts:
HIGHLIGHTS
-Our prima donna doesn't disappoint. The pop approach is still there together with the sublime arrangement. Vocal acrobats abound in UNA VOCE POCO FA and CHANSON BOHEME (Bonus track for Japan--does this mean it'll be released elsewhere soon?). Octave-jumping, staccatos and slurs are all there to mesmerize!
-Nessun Dorma gets an English version---GOING TO WIN. Sung in straight up diva attitude. The styling is reminiscent of Aretha Franklin's version at the Grammys a few years back.
-The most POP moment would be her O QUANTE VOLTE where her vocal cord turns into a rubber band, stretching the depths of Anita Baker to the high shrieks of Mariah Carey--in both Italian and English (towards the end).
-O SOLE MIO gets a tango makeover. Again the arrangement is just gorgeous---lots of strings and syrupy choral works in the background. Effectively charming!
-A diva on a mission----Filippa gets spiritual in a couple of her English tracks: TOUCH THE FUTURE and RIVER where she feels "dead and constantly reborn...my endless mission" or how she talks about "pure philosophy of giving." The first is a perfect spritual lullaby--something to calm your soul before drifting into dreamland. The latter is rather Enya-esue, both in overall sound and lyrics. Read between the lines and get enlightened, fans!
LAST THOUGHT, whoever's responsible for getting this record out, do something! She needs to be heard--everywhere...worldwide. This is a divine piece of art(classical purists may beg to differ but ART transcends genres, open your hearts!) Even the website www.filippagiordano.net is on hold. Meanwhile, if ordering it through the internet is your only way of getting this album, do it! Like I said, this is a masterpiece.
