Description:
That classic and original song is born with a new lease of life! The long-awaited world premiere CD release of the long-forgotten original recordings. I can assure you that Neil Sedaka's taste in Italian is exceptional. The vocals, accompanied by a fluid orchestra, leap freely over the language barrier and pour down with rich emotion. This is a new door for the oldies, and we hope you will rediscover the other face of Sedaka in 1966, his blissful songs wrapped in love for Italy, his "second home," and at the same time rediscover how he sublimated the famous songs and standards. The confidence in this work that is shown at the beginning of the song, the cover of the famous song "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," and the moment when the song hits you in the heart, are just perfect. The title track M-7 and the standards M-9 and M-11 are also solid, but it is the perfect Italianness shown in M-3 and M-8, which are about Naples, that is another true gem of the album. The bonus tracks are seven carefully selected gems from the two previous albums, "Italiano" and "Italiano Vol. 2. All of these songs are also in Italian, and are so blissful that they surpass the originals of Sedaka's own hits (M-15 to M-18), plus Luis Bakalov's M-14, which is also a must-hear.Minoru Wakasugi (Music Critic, Writer): Writes liner notes for CDs, contributes to magazines and books, and is also involved in CD and DVD projects, with over 200 titles to date. His books include "Shibuyakei," which describes the rise and decline of Shibuya-style music, "Tokyo Reco-ya Story," which traces the history of record stores in Tokyo, "Urakuchi Ongaku," "Ura Blue Note," and "Dancing Age.
