Jovanotti- un cantante italiano

Jovanotti

One album of 13 songs is hardly enough to introduce Jovanotti — the stage name of Lorenzo Cherubini — to American audiences. In a career that has made him a superstar in Italy, Jovanotti has been an intellectual and a scamp, a rocker and a rapper, a poet and a provocateur, a cynic and a romantic. His songs have delved into myth, comedy, protest, reflection and romance. “The class photos don’t look like me anymore, though all my flaws are still intact,” he sings in “Mezzogiorno” (“Midday”), “And every scar is an autograph from God.” Jovanotti’s debut compilation in the United States, “Italia 1988-2012” (ATO), presumes Americans prefer three-chord, semi-spoken rockers. But it also glimpses some of Jovanotti’s other modes in songs like the orchestral waltz “Una Storia D’Amore” (“A Love Story”) and the new “Con la Luce Negli Occhi” (“With the Light in Our Eyes”), a chant cum rap, backed by the twang of a Brazilian berimbau, that envisions “an antique-future music” on the radio. There’s far more to Jovanotti, but this album is a start.
