Guide Review - Vittorio
Vittorio admits that opera is his first love and insists on performing at least three opera's a year to keep his voice "well-oiled." However, this album allowed him to experiment with musical styles he experiences everyday. Combining his beautiful voice with modern hip-hop rhythms, he was able to create music that many people can appreciate. The album's theme is love (obvious, I know). You'll find songs sung in English, Italian, and Spanish. I am particularly fond of the first and second tracks - they really caught my attention and set the theme for the rest of the album. The first track showcases his dramatic voice and remarkable range, and the second crosses us over to the pop side without sounding kitschy. Also on the album is a duet with Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussycat Dolls, a version of "Maria" from the West Side Story, and a unique interpretation of Puccini's opera, Madame Butterfly. I'm not a big fan of this style of music, but I must say, I was quite impressed... I may have to re-evaluate my position.
