The new album by Andrea Poggio, the second, entitled The futurealready anticipated by individuals The new world and the most recent Words in mid-air.
An album in which the Piedmontese singer-songwriter played with classic and modern, mixing genres and worlds. As if to create an unusual bridge between Paolo Conte and the Dirty Projectors, between Franco Battiato and Chassol. And for this very reason we asked him to tell us what inspired him in the manufacturing process. Happy listening.
Velvet Motel
Eiichi Ohtaki
I discovered this song a few months ago, yet it’s one of those songs that I feel like I’ve known forever. It’s a perfect song, the way pop should be in an ideal world. I can’t say that it has directly influenced my record, but it’s a sort of common denominator of a whole series of listens I’ve done in recent years, from Haruomi Hosono, up to Sugar Babe and Taeko Onuki.
I Think the Game, Pt. 2
chasol
Chassol’s piano playing is an inexhaustible source of inspiration. Ludi it’s a beautiful record that I listened to a lot during the recordings of de The future. But not only that, I also think of the magic that Chassol has done up When I Get Home by Solange.
Goodbye Lucille #1
Prefab Sprout
I get chills just looking at the cover of this record, where these four small-town boys emerge from the mists of the eighties and the north of England. I’ve never understood the boundaries of blue-eyed soul and maybe I don’t care to understand them, but when I listen to this record I find certain Style Councils and many other beautiful things from those years there.
I’ve never been a Beck fan in the sense that I know Beck fans and I know they can reach a level of excitement that is foreign to me. But this is a piece that I feel is particularly close to the way I understand the music of the two thousand events. Produced by Pharrell Williams!
But who is it that sleeps with me
Nada
This is a poignant song and the most romantic soul de The future perhaps it has roots here as well. With that “but when the afternoon comes, I need a trip” in which Piero Ciampi is all. Perhaps it would be enough to say Nada singing a piece written by Piero Ciampi and arranged by Gianni Marchetti.
Listen to the future:
