Alice E Battiato - I Treni Di Tozeur

Review by Gregory Upshaw

Alice E Battiato's album I Treni Di Tozeur is a beautiful and haunting masterpiece that showcases the incredible talent of both the singer and the composer. The music is a blend of traditional Italian and North African sounds, creating a unique and mesmerizing sound that transports the listener to a different time and place.

The album's title track, "I Treni Di Tozeur," is a standout, with its haunting melody and evocative lyrics that tell the story of a train journey through the desert. Other standout tracks include "Cuccuruccucù," a playful and upbeat tune that showcases Alice's incredible vocal range, and "Nomadi," a slower, more introspective piece that highlights the beauty of the album's instrumentation.

Throughout the album, Alice's voice is a powerful instrument, conveying a range of emotions from joy to sadness to longing. Her delivery is at times ethereal, at times raw and powerful, always perfectly capturing the mood of the music.
