The debut record from Il Genio is a really enchanting work, enlighting the Italian music scene with its style and originality. This album is a fascinating synthesis of refined electro-pop that strays to rock, retrò atmospheres and “French chanson” outlining the contours of a deep expressiveness, reaching its height in episodes such as “Pop Porno” (skillfully interpreted from the gentle voice of Alessandra Contini), “Le bugie di François”, “Non è possibile”, “Gli Eroi del Kung-Fu”, “La Pathètique”: pure anthology pieces. Il Genio is one of the most interesting projects in the Italian music scene and an authentic prototype of 00’s indiepop band. // Federico Linossi
