Unsecured CrediT Greatest Hits (Le Cose Non Vanno Mai come Credi)
Most of the foreign audiences relate Italian Female Pop to reigning diva Laura Pausini.
Giorgia, on the other side, is considered in Italy at the same level...maybe less easy in terms of pop access, but definitely more soulful and masterful when it comes to vocal matters.
So far she has not enjoyed a planetary success as Laura's although they started out roughly at the same time, but she is on the right way.
This collection pulls together most of her hits.
E POI is Giorgia's signature song along with a string of other friendly-radio hits, from the country-tinged sound of GIRASOLE and TRADIREFARE to the soul-influenced E C'E' ANCORA MARE.
Ballads are Giorgia's forte: DIMMI DOVE SEI, STRANO IL MIO DESTINO e DI SOLE E D'AZZURRO will blow you away.
There are some notable missing tunes, the splendid duet with Andrea Bocelli (which fortunately found a home on the guy's own greatest hits package...so maybe some of you may have already had the privilege to hear her voice), the moving 1995 ballad RIGUARDA NOI and the bouncy, summertime 1997 anthem IN VACANZA CON ME. And many more...
For the rest, you will encounter a velvety voice that many times has been compared to Whitney Houston's by most critics.
Apparently, if not by foreign audiences, Giorgia is loved by people in the industry abroad.
She duetted with Bryan Adams, Boyzone's former vocalist Ronan Keating (great duet on WE'VE GOT TONITE remake), featured in live appearances (can't get out of my head her rendition along with Michael MacDonald of ON MY OWN when he supported Cher's 1999 BELIEVE tour here in Milan).
Diane Warren wrote the music to Giorgia's lyrics on PARLAMI D'AMORE, and living legend Herbie Hancock played piano on such a dark track as IL MARE SCONOSCIUTO.
