Una delle più belle del disco migliore di Elisa

Sheryl The White Crow

She is really talented songstress and multyinstrumentalist. She deserves as much recognition as the other Italian singers have.

Poseidon Neptune

dal minuto 2:30 l'apoteosi... per me c'è l'estate dentro... quella del 2000. In 30 anni di fissa musicale, la reputo la piu bella di sempre... la colonna sonora del mio animo.
