Elisa Toffoli has been musically active (and successful) for over 20 years. She released her debut single Sleeping In Your Hand in 1997, claiming a Top 5 hit in her home land Italy and a modest chart position in the Netherlands. Her first album Pipes And Flowers, completely in English, went quadruple platinum in Italy.

In 2002, she released a compilation of her first three albums, simply entitled Elisa, internationally. Alas, it failed to establish her as an international artist. Since then, the singer put out albums both in English and Italian. High quality pop music throughout.

In my humble opinion, it’s high time the rest of the world (starting with Europe) should get to know this artist. The ‘best of’ album Soundtrack ’97-’17, released to celebrate her 20 years of career, is a good starting point. But also check her great new single Will We Be Strangers!
