Blue’s

When Zucchero Fornaciari, artistically known as Zucchero, released his album Blue’s in 1987, he was already forging a path that fused Italian melody with influences from American blues and soul. This work, recorded at a time when his style was consolidating, is distinguished by that particular sonic amalgamation that characterizes him, mixing Mediterranean roots with rhythms and sensibilities of the American South. Throughout his career, Zucchero has managed to sell over 60 million records, partly thanks to his international tours and collaborations with renowned figures such as Luciano Pavarotti, Eric Clapton, and Sting, which has expanded his reach beyond Italy.

About the album

Blue’s, according to DoReSol

The Blue’s contains songs that have become benchmarks in his discography. For example, Dune mosse, which appears in both its vocal and instrumental versions, is a key piece of the album. Another standout song is Senza una donna, which would later have a duet version with Paul Young and become a major hit. The album's structure, with an introduction titled Blue’s Introduction, lays the groundwork for the sonic journey it proposes. Adelmo Fornaciari, who adopted the nickname "Zucchero" from a childhood memory with a teacher, has demonstrated an ability to create songs that resonate both for their lyrical content and their musical proposal.

Zucchero's career has been recognized with various awards, including the Tenco Award for lifetime achievement and multiple World Music Awards, in addition to being decorated as a Commander of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic. His origins in Reggio Emilia and his early connection with sports, having been a goalkeeper for the Reggiana football club, are part of the history of this artist who has known how to bring Italian blues to global audiences.
