Talk to me about Italian pop …

[Trojanbores]

I am off on my holidays and I want to get everyone in the mood with some Italian pop.

i realise this is a bit niche but, if there is anyone out there who has expertise in this area, what do you recommend?

No ballads, mind you. Just bouncing around, cheesy pop.

Bouncy cheesy cheerfulness

search Italopop for more and have fun

Suggestions from my Italian kids: Il Volo, Annalisa, Elodie, Mahmood.

Marco Mengoni

Negroamaro
Tiromancino

I was going to suggest chinotto 😄 It's a popular Italian fizzy drink - looks like cola but made with bitter lemons so is a lot less sweet.

😀 I love chinotto!

Bellissima by Annalisa was huge last summer! And very catchy

And sexy boy by Achille lauro

I am so pleased that you have moved me beyond Neffa

DH remembers a song that goes ‘baci, baci’ … does anyone know what this is?

Trap music is the big thing here with the youngsters, such as Ghali & Mahmood.

In this house we're in our 50s and we listen to stuff like Italy's fave Vasco Rossi, Gianna Nannini, Lucio Dalla, Irene Grandi, Litfiba & underground stuff like 99 Posse.

See if you watch this year's San Remo & here's a recent top 20
