Scandalo (Scandal) is Gianna Nannini's ninth studio album and eleventh album overall.

Contents

Composition

Nannini started composing the album during a trip in Japan and China, and developed it between Wuppertal and Milan. [1] [2] It was recorded at RAK Studios in London, under the co-production of David M. Allen. [1] Nannini explained the title as "Scandal is the only way we have to rebel against certain prepackaged statuses of life that do not correspond in the least to everyday reality." [2]

Release

The album was released on 27 August 1990, while Nannini was still enjoying international success for "Un'estate italiana". [1] [3] A Scandalo Tour to promote the album, consisting of 44 dates across 12 countries, followed. [1] The eponymous lead single "Scandalo", whose music video was directed by Yello leader Dieter Meier, [2] topped the Italian hit parade. [3] In Italy, in less than two weeks it was certified platinum for having sold over 250,000 copies. [2]

Reception

The album has been described as "characterized by a variety of cues scattered here and there throughout the tracks, [...] a thoroughly professional effort but lacking the energy of other Nannini works". [1]
