All i want is to rock your soul!!!!!!!!.......2005-12-21

Amazing discovering i made with Elisa Toffoli, Lotus offers the best pop music made in Italy with several influences such as Leonard Cohen and Jeff Buckley, soul, rock, folk a variety of styles, Elisa songwritting is mostly in inglish but you can find a few lyrics in her mother tongue and it sounds beautifull, cuts like "broken", "rock your soul", "electricity" and "almeno tu nell universo" make of Lotus perhaps one of the most classic albums of Elisa

Italy's best kept secret.......2004-02-20

To fully appreciate this small powerhouse of a singer, one has to see her live. I've had the fortune of seeing her twice. It is simple to understand the motivation of this complex singer: clear, pure, crystalline passion for her music. Her latest CD shows us how she is not afraid of experimenting with new themes on her older songs. Result: they're enriched and we're enlightened. My wish is to see her touring with the North American female singers of her genre (Sarah,Mellissa,Paula, etc)giving her some exposure outside of Italy; exposure to share her music only, as she has no interest whatsoever in the financial benefits. She has continued to call the shots and stick to her ideals. You feel that in the music. I would like to complain, however, that this CD is way overpriced on Amazon if you consider you can purchase it in Italy for about 20.00 euro ($24.00)in Italy. Any reader is welcome to write me with any questions regarding a reasonably priced !!!ORIGINAL!!! CD

If you truly enjoy music, get this CD..get all her CD's.

This is an incredible album.......2004-02-18

I'm from Italy, I know Elisa since 1997.
This album is truly fantastic, with acoustic atmosphere, recorded with many analogic instrument(in italy is available also in vynil).
The international prize are crazy (40$!).
But the album is very raccomanded.
She has not voice, she have an musical instrument in her mouth.
The best of her you can only listen on stage, where she make change on armonic and melodic line.
One of the best artist in Italy.
Roberto Colferai

P.s. she sing in english and very rarely in italian, only two songs

Sublime.......2004-01-10

Maybe this is the best album recorded by Elisa. It is produced by herself and contains both old songs and new songs, and some tracks previously sung by other artists as well. Lotus is an acoustic album and offers warm sounds and peace, so you've got to look for this atmosphere. If you already know the version of Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley, you must listen to the one by Elisa too: I guess it has the same force (and I didn't think someone else could sing Hallelujah as good as Jeff). You can also find a new version of Labyrinth, one of the first songs by Elisa and I have to say that I prefer this version that is completely different and more optimistic. Every new song has something to say that comes from Elisa's heart. My favourite ones are "A prayer" and "Interlude" but I do like "Electricity", "Beautiful night", "Yashal" and "Broken" as well.
