Totally agree I was also going to mention IDKMOS amongst my least favourite 2 but avoided doing so because it's iconic with Andrea.

But the truth is they are my least 2 favourites on the album which really says a lot about how good the album is!

I'm just totally blown away. Just shows that quality can still shine through in a corrupt music industry....

Here's the Loose Women interview for anyone who missed it - plus him singing Give A Little Love live at the end

Andrea Faustini Loose Women
Andrea Faustini Talks Music and Pal Mel B
QCam: Andrea Faustini on QVC!

thank you I'll get those on the website tonight!

I have to say his GALL performance on loose women sounded quite good, the official recording sounds either badly recorded or his voice is strained whereas it wasn't the case at all on this performance?

Have I got a sound problem with my computer or have others detected it?
The original sounds over-recorded...

I think that was a Syco recording, diabolo.
Isn't it great that Andrea's doing well in Italy.

it is indeed, really good album, let's hope RCA give it the promotion it deserves, so far looking really good!

Faustini on New-found Fame (Looks like another part of the "Andrea Faustini Talks Music and Pal Mel B" video I posted above)

Video perfomance Andrea Faustini - Kelly (Live with an Audience)

SPEECHLESS.

Just a piano to accompany him. That's a very brave performer. Total commitment! He has to take that album on tour.

I don't know if this has been posted and I missed it.

Express video interview

Give it time, diabolo. IDKMOS is still a unique recording and I believe it will stand the test of time. I'm still knocked out by it every time I hear it. We're all so thrilled by the new songs that our judgment may be out of kilter.
I still don't know how he can tear the heart out of people the way he does. I think it may be his total honesty. There's no hiding for Andrea. He commits completely. As Mel said that boy is so true. There's no deceit or disguise. `He's raw. He's real. He's our boy. Go Andrea!

Thanks Jessika_kenlea missed this earlier! Absolutely loving the album. At the moment 'Back to the Sea' is my favourite. I think I said 'The River' when I meant that one yesterday, not that I don't love the river too mind. My itunes isn't picking up the track names, anyone else having this problem?

Just seen that 'andrea faustini' is the second most searched thing on iTunes right now! Amazing!

The album is still getting better with every listen. Kelly and Back to the Sea (which didn't make my top 3 before) have really grown on me, I love them. Flawless album! Think The River is still my absolute favourite though

It's starting to become one of my favorites......but who am I'm I kidding the whole album is my favorite Lascia Tutto Così is fast becoming one of my top one's too.

Is it the actually physical CD that you're playing on iTunes? I used to have trouble with albums doing that.

Top 10 on iTunes Italia now

Are you sure? When I looked it had fallen to the 20's in Italy, and it seems to be in the 40s in the UK now... Hope promotion kicks in a bit, not convinced those adverts have been played since the 16th (and I never saw one then). It's still very early days, hopefully word of mouth will make it rise It really deserves to do incredibly well.

Don't worry, what the single/album do today or tomorrow in terms of charts I feel is not that important at this stage, the album is excellent and an album that I see still being very relevant in years to come meaning it will still grab audiences for some time to come when they discover it.

As long as RCA play their part Andrea will grow big time on this album alone over the coming months/years..

In essence the album is now the perfect marketing tool for RCA to promote him with and it's now where his journey really starts.

When first I heard the album, I thought "That's why RCA are not bothered about promoting Andrea. They're so convinced that the album will advertise itself they don't need to bother". I don't think we'll ever really know the truth, though.

OK after about 10-12 listens to the album I've narrowed it down to 7 lol
I'm still struggling between:

1 It'll All End in Tears
2 Evaporate
3 The River
4 Kelly
5 You Pulled Me Through
8 What Would Dusty Do
9 Lascia Tutto Così

They are all very good and all add something but I think I've got two favourites so far from the list of seven.

5 You Pulled Me Through
9 Lascia Tutto Così

Oh, that's a shame I think my post was late the previous night so it has dropped quite a lot since then

Anyone know how to find out the up to date sales data - i.e. the current album chart?

I can tell you that the FB fan group is super busy though, the News page has had a lot more subscriptions and the website is getting a lot of hits, so interest is up for sure!

One advert televised at a prime time could make a huge impact on his chart position, so fingers crossed. I'm still yet to see it, dammit!

BBCR2 tomorrow will hopefully help as well - their audience are more album buyers than singles for sure.

I put the album on in the car with my mum today, she never liked Andrea during XFactor, but after 4 songs went "okay, this is a sublime album"

I must be missing something with the Italian song. Could you tell us the story of the lyrics? That might be a help, diabolo.

Today I read a bad review of the album. The writer claimed to be a fan but found the album very bland. I'm beginning to believe that people will write anything to be noticed.
Such people must be ignored. Jessika can see the growing interest on the site. That's the proof`. I'm becoming more and more convinced by your assessment, diabolo. I think this is a stayer and interest will grow and stick. That's so much more to be desired than a quick short flash in the pan.
