Italo legend Fred Ventura teams up with sound specialist Paolo Gozzetti on this fabulous LP. After years of collaborations, we finally have the debut album from the duo, which follows up their Voyage EP. Metropoli explores a cityscape of variety. From the avenues of synth-pop and plazas of space disco, the boulevards of Italo to new wave skyscrapers: many lend their unique attitudes, experiences and voices for some incredibly special music. The beautiful tones of Francesca Gastaldi feature prominently on this brand new album; tones which marry perfectly with addictive synth lines. Lyrical partnerships are pivotal across the 11 tracks also, where old friends and new have come together: Alessandra Contini of Il Genio, Martin Blix of Italove and Italo godfather Francesco Rago of 'Lectric Workers, Decadance, Expansives and Wanexa fame. From the glimmering and bittersweet vintage pop of "Humanize" or the aptly titled late night sleaze of "Neon Disco" to the cinematic Giallo tinged drama of "Life Happens" and the absolutely epic title track. Ventura proves from time to time again that he is one one of Italo's most enduring icons.
