irene is "Grand"........2002-05-05

I thoroughly enjoy this cd and have played it many times since I
bought it a few months ago. It has a variety of tempos and
backing intrumental sounds, but it is all good. A great voice
and lots of enthusiasm eminate from the cd.

Great stuff!.......2001-08-21

I first heard Irene on a web cast of an Italian radio station. The song was ýPer fare L'amoreý. I liked it so much I bought this CD. I'm glad I did! She sings with great passion in a sexy voice (with a face to match). I speak only a little Italian and understand it less, but this does not stop me from thoroughly enjoying this CD.

The track listing on my CD is slightly different than the listing above. I have: 1. Per Fare Lýamore 2. Tutta Diversa (Come Mi Vuoi) 3. Sconvolto Cosi`

The remaining songs are the same from ýLa Tua Ragazza Sempreý to ýCose Da Grandiý. Then I have a hidden song that I assume is ýSilenzio Slowý. If I listen to ýCose Da Grandiý (which is track 15 on my CD), it ends after 5:27. Letting it continue to play, ýSilenzio Slowý starts at 7:13 on the same track.

Fabulous.......2001-07-23

I was introduced to Irene Grandi by an Italian friend and I am so very thankful that he did! It is a real shame that the only people to read this review, or buy her cds, will be those who have already heard of Irene. She is one of the most popular Italian artists, and has an amazing voice, a pop voice with a hint of gravel! Very sexy.

I dont speak Italian, but her music is so catchy, innovative and interesting that it doesnt matter. I defy you not to sing along - even if you DONT speak Italian!

This is either a great introduction to Irene's music, or a great cd to complete your Irene collection.

Irene proves equal to the top female artists in the world........1998-08-03

Irene Grandi's "Per Fortuna Purtroppo" is her third, and arguably her best album. Virtually unknown in the United States, she is "all the rage" in Italy. On this album, Irene blends her beautiful and passionate voice with influences from her native Italy, as well as the worlds of rap and soul to create an album that is at once both high in energy, yet refined. The album is both sweet enough to bring a tear to your eye, yet also rocks to cause you to get up and dance, play "air guitar", or "air drums", if you prefer.

You certainly don't need to speak a drop of Italian to appreciate her songs. It is true what they say about Italian being the most beautiful language in the world. Irene even sprinkles in some English lyrics into several of her songs to help you out!

There are ten songs on the album, and my favorites include the Rap/Rockin' #4. "Primativa" (Primative) which combines Irene and Dre Love, the Pop titl! e song, #1 "Per fortuna purtroppo" (For Fortune Unfortunately) and a very breezy Caribbean/on vacation sounding (I think of the white chalky beaches and blue sand when I hear this song) #6 "Otto e mezzo" (Half past Eight).

However, because Irene has a voice of an angel, my absolute favorite Irene Grandi songs are those songs which let her range and passion shine through, including, #3"Che vita e" (What life is), #5 "E possibile che noi" (It's possible that we), #7 "Fai come me" (You do as me), and finally, #10 "Un bagno in mar" (A bath in the sea), which brings a tear to my eye every time I hear it, just because...words cannot describe how beautiful this song is.

Customer Reviews:

Giving justice to the name "Grandi".......2001-06-02

What a stunning surprise! Irene Grandi is quite comparable to Carmen Consoli; however, she spans further in different directions. With the help of the undeniable Vasco Rossi on Sanremo's "La tua regazza sempre" and collaboration with Sheryl Crow on "Limbo," Grandi belts out some memorable songs. Her voice is distinctive and creative and most definitely memorable. "Eccezionale" will have you singing its corus on a regular basis and "Sto peggiorando," with its Jovanotti-ish hook, is definitely worth repeating a couple times in a row. This album will attack your senses in every way possible.

SIMPLY THE BEST!!!!.......2001-04-04

I love Irene Grandi, she is definitely the BEST female singer EVER! Carmen Consoli, Elisa, Mietta, and Laura Pausini are all great Italian singers, but IRENE GRANDI IS PERFECT!! She proved it by recording this great album!!!!All the tracks in this album ROCK!!!

Irene at her best.......2000-12-22

Having had the pleasure of seeing Irene perform live in Italy during her Verderossoblu 'tour estivo 2000', I will say that she has returned to her roots of pop/rock, as opposed to more of a 'funky' beat in per fortuna purtoppo album, and it definitely works for her. This album is solid from start to finish, combining her great voice with acoustic/electric guitars, drums of course, keyboards/synthesizer, and some special "phase" sound effects. All songs are keepers, and there is a nice balance between pop/rock songs with an "edge", to songs you'd be best to have someone special nearby. Irene's slower tracks can evoke a little emotion/passion if you're not careful. Tracks #1 & #2 (title track) are nice little pop/rockers along with #8 & #9, but my favorite tracks include #3-Tutta Diversa (Come Mi Vuoi), a mellow song that let's Irene's passion come through, and #6-Limbo, a sexy song with some special phase effects. True to her form, irene saves the best for last, and puts perhaps her most compelling song of the album as the last track (#11-Rido Senz'anima) to keep you hooked. If you're not familiar with Irene, I'd almost recommend starting out with track #11, then track #3 to get you warmed up before starting at track #1 for a great journey through the album. As I indicated in a review of a previous irene album, you don't need to 'parlo italiano' to throughly enjoy her CD! As a side note, "on stage" she combines a bit of the sweetness/beauty of Meg Ryan with a lot of energy, and a touch of Courtney Love edgyness, if you can imagine that. Her voice, energy and vocal range is something special to see/hear.

Fantastico!.......2000-12-18

Having been turned on to Irene by Italian friends back in the first album era, she has maintained my interest by releasing increasingly strong material. I don't speak Italian (or any language other than English for that matter!) but she has an incredibly sexy voice, and the songs are very melodic, enabling even I to sing along to! This album is perhaps more 'guitar' orientated than her previous albums but her vocals accompany the instrument so well! It is difficult to decide which album is best! All are fantastic but this is slightly more edgy. As for the lyrical content - I have absolutley no idea!

questa hay, un imprezione..........2000-12-15

I heard this in Italy this spring and absolutely fell in love with it. I don't speak Italian, but I do speak Spanish and found listening to her very enjoyable as well as the language. It's very pop/rock and her vocals are superb! I really don't know much about the Italian pop scene except for those who record in Spanish (i.e. Nek, Laura Pausini, Eros Ramazzotti, etc.) but I really enjoyed Irene. I would love to hear her earlier work and can't wait for a new release. My favorite track is #2.

Powerful sound on a debut album.......2001-01-25

Self-entitled debut album for Irene Grandi, a 31 years old girl from Florence, Italy. She started her career in 1993, with "Un motivo maledetto" (A damned melody) performed life at the San Remo festival, in the newcomer section. A year later, she is back in San Remo with "Fuori". Critics and public welcome her warmly enough to convince her record company to release a whole album. Since then, she became one of the most respected singer in Italian pop-rock scene.

Two major names worked on this album: Jovanotti (one of the most famous Euro-rapper) and Eros Ramazzotti (a living myth). The first wrote the song T.V.B (acronym for "Ti Voglio Bene", that is "I Love You"), the latter co-wrote "Sposati! Subito!" (Get married! Now!). Nine good tracks that go from pop to soft rock to (almost) rap, and one forgettable cover: "A natural woman". Some of the lyrics are very funny and inspired (like in "La cucina", The Kitchen), and in general the tone of the album is powerful and happy. It makes a good disc to wake up in the morning.
