Giorgia

Giorgia is the first album by Italian singer Giorgia, released in 1994. Background Produced by Marco Rinalduzzi and Massimo Calabrese, Giorgia is the first official album by the prodigal Italian singer, Giorgia Todrani that contains 13 tracks: 9 original songs, a cover of Lucio Battisti's Nessun Dolore and two songs that she performed at Sanremo: Nasceremo, with which she won the contest Sanremo giovani in 1993; and E poi, the song that identifies her with the CD, performed at Sanremo in the Nuove Proposte section in 1994. The album sold 170,000 copies, a remarkable achievement for a debut album, transforming Giorgia from an unknown but eminent talent, to one of the biggest names in Italian Pop. It includes the brief but intense song Alba, based on a poem written by Giorgia and the music of Marco Rinalduzzi and Massimo Calabrese. The album is influenced by a black American type of music, mixed with the Italian style and the influence of Giorgia. At this time, Giorgia was starting to shape and create her experimental and perfectionistic style which characterised her career, becoming known as the style Clou which characterises music from that period and today.
