Nina Zilli, real name Maria Chiara Fraschetta was born on 2nd February 1983 in Piacenza, Italy. 'The Man Who Loved Women' is her latest single and was released earlier this year. I often hear it played on the radio and decided it would be a good choice for this week's Sunday Song. This song is taken from her first album which was released in Italy in February of this year. Sempre Lontano - Still Far.
The single, taken from the album was her entry at the 2010 San Remo Festival for which she won the most votes in the New Generation section of the festival, from journalists in the Award entitled 'Press Radio and TV Section Next Generation'
An artist I think we will be hearing a lot more of in Italy. I wonder if you will agree.

I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend.
Hey, great song. Already I'm missing listening to the Italian radio stations as we drove along so good to hear that.
ReplyDeleteIt's always interesting to hear what music is popular in other countries :)
ReplyDeleteI love your Sunday post. You have great taste in music, and it is varied.
ReplyDeleteWarm wishes.
She has a lovely voice. I have to admit, though, that I heard this song a few times too many this past winter! ;-)
ReplyDeleteJenny- I hope you will regularly enjoy this Sunday Song feature that I participate in then.
ReplyDeleteRachel - Yes, I agree, although we get a lot of English Language music here.
Kimberly - Thanks Kimberly, my tastes are very eclectic :)
Saretta - Well I know what you mean, but I thought it was a good idea to share a really well played song with others from around the world. Do let me know if you have any particular Italian favourites that you would like me to share in the Sunday Song post.
OOH I LOVE this! I might download this to my ipod. I think this is now my favourite song from all of your Italian songs so far Lindy Lou!
ReplyDeleteSorry it has taken me so long to visit. I have been a bit sick with a cold and I have taken a part-time position as senior English teacher for a term at my kid's school. I am totally exhausted!
Oh well, I have just made some pesto pasta for dinner and then I am going to bed! Hope your weekend is wonderful.
Best wishes,
Natasha.
PS Thanks for following Maddy's blog! She hasn't had time to post anything for a while either as the school term has already kept her very busy.

Natasha, Thanks for calling by. I am amazed you find the time at all with such popular blogs to maintain, family life and now a job as well. Sorry to hear you have been feeling unwell, hope you feel better for the weekend. I am so pleased that you enjoy my Italian song selections.
ReplyDeleteSee you again on Sunday.
Take Care Linda x
