He released his first albums under the Jovanotti byname to later switch into his real name (Lorenzo), as of the mid-nineties.
Most of his output is hip-hop influenced, although not most of his work should be viewed as hip hop music per se. Many of his songs are not hip hop related and may probably be best viewed as part of the earlier Italian cantautore tradition. Some of his earlier work is also closer to keyboard-heavy 1980s pop. Most of his songs are sung in the Italian language; he also released a Spanish-language greatest hits album. His live album includes a short version of the Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight". Jovanotti appears on several international compilations, most notably Red Hot + Rhapsody, a 1998 tribute to George Gershwin, on which he performed "I Got Rhythm". Jovanotti has also appeared in one Luciano Pavarotti's charity concert in 1996.
His CD, Buon Sangue, includes influences from both rock and old school hip hop. It is one of his most innovative works to date. Edoardo Bennato collaborated on one track, while bass player Saturnino co-wrote two of the songs.
One of his most recent CDs, "Ora", breaks new ground with a new style of production.
Un Giorno Di Sole
Jovanotti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rialzarsi anche se a volte sembra insopportabile pensa
Solo un poco a te e troverai la voglia per capire che la
Vita ti dirà sei fragile come ormai ti senti tu e se il
Telefono non squilla e ancor più giù e quando tocchi il
Fondo cosa fara?ti affliggerai piangendo ti sfogherai e
Vedrai che poi ti sentirai un po' meglio e intorno a te
Ricostruirai il tuo mondo tanto in fondo non ci vuole che
Aspetterà tu le tue paure dividile con me a volte fa male ma
È soltanto vivere come in un sogno ti porterà via se della
Vita avrai perso la scia il suo calore ti sorprenderà ti
Conquisterà e quando arriverà il momento te ne accorgerai di
Chi poi starà al tuo fianco o a farsi I cazzi suoi allora ti
Renderai conto che ce la farai ti rialzerai da quel momento e
Sul tuo volto sorriderai a questa vita che riabbraccerai sarà
Una giornata tutta nuova che ormai sorge da sola ti riscalderà
Tu pensa ad essere serena e tutto il resto poi verrà a volte
Sembra insormontabile un ostacolo impossibile lo so e ogni tuo
Sforzo sembra inutile però so che non mi arrenderò
E so che adesso aspetterò
