"I always dreamed of becoming a king at least for a night. That very night it all started."
“Guardando nel mio specchio” - review by Alessandra Carnevali
A successful debut, this "Looking in my mirror," the first self-produced album by Gero Riggio, Sicilian songwriter, native of Mussomeli (CL), which comes out these days through the Majorfree circuit.
Nine great songs, all composed by Gero Riggio (except for u bagliuri Sutta) when he was between sixteen and eighteen years old (today he is 23), enriched by a British-like arrangement, that facilitate a careful listening also thanks to the lyrics accuracy.
We can not help but acknowledge that we are listening to a high-quality pop album. Very well written and arranged by Leonardo Curiale, "Guardando nel mio specchio" has undoubtedly more than a few good radio singles.
