2022 marks the 25^th anniversary of Elisa Toffoli’s debut album Pipes And Flowers. And I’m old enough to be able to say I played its singles Sleeping In Your Hand and Labyrinth a lot on the radio at the time. A lot has happened since then. For both of us… 😉

21 years after Elisa won the prestigious Sanremo Festival, the artist is about to put out her double album Ritorno Al Futuro/Back To The Future. That’s right, it’ll contain one disc in Italian and the other in English. Ahead of its 18 February release, the opening songs of both discs – A Tempo Perso and Show’s Rollin’ – have been served up as singles.

The latter is my favourite of the two. Show’s Rollin’ has a soulful vibe and gospel-like choirs. Elisa calls the song ‘the curtain that opens on Back To The Future’. She continues: “I’d like to go back to the future, but I’d like to go back in order to change something. To save what’s precious and to let go of the redundant stuff.”
