I wanted to present my passion for interpreting any great song-no matter if Italian, American or New”, said Patrizio Buanne. It’s important to give people the kind of music I am known for, but I also wanted to open myself up artistically and give them something else or rather something “more of me” that’s why we called the album ‘PATRIZIO’. “I’m not just an Italian guy singing Italian songs. The album includes new songs written especially for Buanne, such as Diane Warren’s “Why Did You Have To Be?,” “This Kiss Tonight,” by UK songwriter Paul Barry, and the self-penned “Solo Tu (My Baby).” Moreover, there are spirited interpretations of standards such as “Fly Me to the Moon”, the Willie Nelson-Patsy Cline hit “Crazy,” and “You’re My Everything,” as you never heard before. It reached immediate platinum status in Australia, New Zealand, Asia and South Africa. On one level, the album remains true to Buanne’s role as an ambassador for Italian song, which is Buanne’s trademark, and are, of course, featured on the album (“Never Never Never,” “Estate,” “Mambo Italiano” or “Tu vuo’ fa l’ammericano”), but ‘ PATRIZIO’ found the Neapolitan broadening his horizons and he is putting a more international slant on his natural way with a song. With his current album, ‘ PATRIZIO’, he stepped up a gear. Buanne has also performed for such luminaries as The Pope, Royal Families, a US President, and numerous other celebrities. The dark, ruggedly handsome singer has already won over a legion of fans with two previous albums rooted in the pop traditions of his homeland that he released internationally. Having sold millions of albums worldwide in the last 8 years, and having made a mark also on the US album charts and PBS stations across the nation with his first three albums based of Italian standards, the Neapolitan crooner is currently signed for worldwide release in the US for his fourth and latest album on his birthday September 20, 2013.įor Patrizio Buanne, it is all about the voice, and an instinctive ability to convey real emotion. “This international singing sensation is going to be around a very long time so learn the face, learn the voice, learn the name…PATRIZIO!” – Larry KingĪnd, as if there was ever any doubt Buanne could make the ladies swoon, watch this CBS-TV performance during a tour stop in Pittsburgh performing, ‘This Kiss Tonight’. “You’ll feel like you’re in a Scorsese movie.” –Time Out NY “Think male Celine Dion, Italian style…”, –The Boston Globe tour ‘From PATRIZIO con amore’, he’s delivering entertainment with a romantic backdrop. International superstar Patrizio Buanne is taking America by storm with his seductive ‘Julio Iglesias-meets- Tom Jones’ mixture of ballads and bravado.

But the album only really comes to life when Buanne reverts to his Italian roots, as on the gorgeous duet with Reneé Olstead on an interpretation of Shirley Bassey's "Never, Never, Never." Patrizio is a valiant attempt at mainstream easy listening pop, but it fails to offer anything new that will enable him to stand out from the plethora of modern crooners on the current music scene. Alongside cover versions of Patsy Cline's "Crazy," Rosemary Clooney's "Mambo Italiano," and Santa Esmeralda's "You're My Everything," there's also a fairly modern offering, Bryan Adams' Don Juan DeMarco theme "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?" and a brand-new song, "Why Did You Have to Be?," penned by the prolific Diane Warren. Renditions of big-band classics like Frank Sinatra's "Fly Me to the Moon" and show tunes from My Fair Lady ("On the Street Where You Live") and Oklahoma ("I Can't Say No") are all competently performed, but without his seductive native-tongued delivery, they lack the intrigue, passion, and emotion of his previous work. Produced by Humberto Gatica (Elton John), the Napoli baritone's self-titled third studio album sees him perform predominantly in English for the first time, a move that has resulted in a slightly more accessible sound but one that has also robbed him of his unique selling point. While his previous albums, The Italian and Forever Begins Tonight, focused on Italian songbook classics and adaptations of English-language pop songs, romantic balladeer Patrizio Buanne's first release since signing a major-label deal with Warner Records is a much more conventional affair that recalls the contemporary swing-pop output of Michael Bublé. Purchase and download this album in a wide variety of formats depending on your needs.
