Paolo Conte - Paolo Conte

The music of Paolo Conte has captivated audiences in Italy and throughout Europe for nearly two decades. With a craggy-voiced style that evokes a world of hallucinations, failed love-affairs, and long, solitary nights in a darkened bar, Conte casts a curious spell in music that is at times languid and smoky, at times reminiscent of the nightclub bounce of Django Reinhardty and the Hot Five. Originally from Asti in Northern Italy, Conte is known as a poet and painter as well as a musician, and draws on cinema, literature, and ordinary life for the imagery in his songs. Boasting a career highlighted with multiple gold records abroad, this self-titled album marks his long-overdue recording debut in the U.S.
