Annalisa and her icons: from Kate Bush to Raffaella Carrà

In “But I am fire” Annalisa builds a sonic and visual universe that freely looks at icons that are very different from each other, but share a strong artistic personality. Among his influences, in our video interview, he mentions Kate Bushfor his ability to merge music and visual imagery in a theatrical and visionary way, an approach that in this album is reflected in the aesthetic care of the video clips and in the metamorphoses of the characters he plays. Then there is Raffaella Carràsymbol of emancipation and lightness, e Donatella Rectorfor the pop cheekiness and surreal irony that Annalisa brings to several songs. By Alice and Giuni Russo resumes the vocal refinement and melancholic intensity, while in some passages the artist even recognizes the echo of Celentano and Morandimodels of expressiveness and spontaneity. An important presence is that of Annie Lennoxa reference for the elegance of the sound choices and for the use of the voice as an emotional instrument, capable of moving from sweetness to power in an instant. All these nuances coexist in the album, where Annalisa builds a pop that plays with the codes of the past to tell the present.
