“S.P.O.T.” From the initial “Senza Perdere ‘O Tiempo” is the second album of Giovanni Block, for the past ten years in the group of the most interesting songwriters newpolitani. From the onset of “Un posto ideale”, in 2011, Premio Tenco, changes the sound and language, changing landscapes evoked, not the certainty that the boy has important things to say, contrary to sing … The choice of dialect is not accidental, and may not be in the middle of the explosion of a new breed true songwriting, which also Block, after joining in the exhibition “Be Quiet”, brings together the disc, just released by Polosud, gathering around him Alessio Arena, Flo, Francesco Di Bella ,addition to Moda Loda Broda, Bata ‘Ngoma and, to a recitative, Gianfelice Imparato still less could be the day after the disappearance of Pino Daniele, impossible to fill the vacuum left by him, reflection collective on his lecture, which looks much like a song “Adda veni Baffone”. But Giovanni has other arrows to his credit, the irony autobiographical “Dint’all’underground” kind of voice within a true sonic generation that has to deal with such phenomena Calcutta, the tender charm of “E va a fernì semp’accussì “delicate as a lullaby post-muroliana sleep lulled by the cello of Arcangelo Michele Caso also instrumental on the front, the cd brings together the best of the Neapolitan scene, Mariano Bellopede Luigi Scialdone. “Senza dicere niente”, a duet with Francesco di Bella (ex 24 Grana) is a dip in the sixties, “Storia di un antico tradimento ” tells tone from the storyteller dramatic story of Carlo Gesualdo da Venosa and Maria d’Avalos. “Core mio” is a Proustian madeleine divided with Flo, a melancholy crucified love ballad, while “Sule” bank located in the deep voice of CiroTuzzi, before a re-reading of “Palomma e notte” closes – for now – the circle , parading proudly of his singing roots. How Gnut, like Sansone dei Foja, as the boys of the paranza del capitone of Daniele Sepe, as the best brood Arena, Block has a fierce talent, yet to be exploited as it deserves. Meanwhile sings a hardship together intimassimo and generational, rests his voice on guitars, acoustic or electric, that could well do without fashion ukulele or the chorus in Manu Chao style. But in times so approved and difficult, the opening words of ” ”O mare va truvann’ ‘e forte ” is a gunshot in the night, an emotional chanson chamber with views of Procida. “
