"Right Now is the complete opposite of bombastic, but its
resounding brilliance rings quite loudly. In "One" (U2), the sharp if
not acrid edge of Isabella Lundgren's voice combines with her languid
phrasing to legitimately suggest Billie Holiday, as Sotti's soft, liquid guitar adorns her sound in jazz and blues. In addition, Zucchero
gives sadly beautiful voice to Bono's lyric for "Someone Else's Tears."
This genuine and profound reminder of all the terrible beauty and
glorious pain in creation may be a difficult song for your ears to leave
behind. "In Europe, Zucchero is like Bruce Springsteen,"
Sotti explains. "The duet he did with Miles, 'Dune Mosse,' blew me
away. Seeing an Italian singer with my jazz idol always stayed on my
mind. I reached out to Zucchero when I was doing this album and he
suggested we do 'Someone Else's Tears.' It was a huge honor to say the
least." CHRIS M. SLAWECKI, allaboutjazz.com
