Free Music Notes for The Best of Paolo ConteFree Music Review: Best of Hit: 4 StarsLike always Paolo rocks. If you like this kind of music.There are some great tunes on this CD. A must have for every italian contemporary fan.
Free Music Review: a reason to live Hit: 5 StarsI heard Paolo Conte in a restaurant and it was so distractingly GOOD that i asked the waitress who it was. Some of the production is a bit dated (i.e. awful drum samples on a couple of tracks), but overall, what a treat. His songwriting/harmonies are really interesting, but still catchy as hell. The real selling point is Paolo himself, though. He's like your wry uncle, cynical, yet affirming life rather than turning against it.
No need to understand Italian. "Sotto le Stelle de Jazz" is my hangover song of the year.
Free Music Review: Paolo brings european cabaret to your home Hit: 5 StarsPaolo Conte manages to create a whole atmosphere of an European, smoke-filled cabaret with a masterful combination of a raspy, weather-beaten voice and a very european music.
The clear standout is "Sparring Partner" - used to deadly effect in Francois Ozon's 2004 movie 5x2. This peice alone makes the whole CD worth its money. "Via Con Me", "Colleghi Trascurati" and "Sotto Le Stelle Del Jazz" are superb too.
Whether you are listening by yourself, enjoying with your loved one or in a light party atmosphere, this CD is sure to bring joy, nostalgia, melancholy and happiness in your heart - all at the same time, just as the odd and near-perfect blend of throaty vocals and wonderful - wonderful music.

Free Music Review: Great introduction to Conte's style Hit: 5 Stars"Sparring Partner," the haunting theme from Francis Ozon's film, 5x2, prompted me to purchase this CD. As my introduction to Conte, this collection of upbeat, lyrical songs (sung in Italian, of course) has been a hit with my French students. Track three, "Via Con Me," is featured on the soundtrack of the American film, "French Kiss," attesting to the atmosphere that his lively rhythms and deep voice create.
