Bluesugar

BlueSugar is the eighth studio album of the Italian singer-songwriter Zucchero Fornaciari, released on November 5, 1998. It was followed by the Bluesugar World Tour, which represents, with its 131 concerts, the Emilian singer’s second longest tour.

An album with intimate intentions, Bluesugar is an avowedly experimental stage in Zucchero’s career. The sounds, less referable to the blues than to a clear pop rock matrix, lean toward an Anglo-Saxon influence with forays into electronic music, researched also from the choice of musicians, among whom Steve Winwood stands out. The lyrics, which are leaner, were written with the attitude of greater synthesis, but without giving up the passionate and sanguine traits, a trademark of the Emilian bluesman. Bluesugar also marks the consolidation of the artistic partnership with Pasquale Panella, known for his collaborations with the last Battisti and with whom Zucchero began cooperating on Miserere.
