The story behind
This song, *Prendimi così*, shows us a Lucio Dalla who, beyond his facet as a singer-songwriter, explores vocal possibilities with surprising freedom. Born in Bologna in 1943 and passed away in Montreux in 2012, Dalla had a career that spanned nearly five decades, moving from beat to rhythmic experimentation and singer-songwriter music, without neglecting lyrics. His initial jazz training is noticeable in his approach to the voice, sometimes with improvisations reminiscent of scat, a style that Adriano Celentano also cultivated in his time.
Dalla studied the vocal technique of James Brown, a pioneer of rhythm and blues, seeking an intentionally rough and dissonant sound. This approach to melody, with unexpected variations that challenged the musical conventions of the time, is one of the keys to understanding the unique expressiveness of *Prendimi così*. It was Gino Paoli who recognized this potential and encouraged him to embark on a solo career. The duration of this piece is 4:14, a time that allows Dalla to unfold these sonic explorations.
