If you want to hear Italian pop music sung magnificently, then Paolo Vallesi is the one for you! This particular album, "Non Essere Mai Grande" is the very best of his work, in my opinion. There are 3 irresistable, gorgeous, melodic ballds on this album which alone make it worth the purchase. "Non Andare Via", "Balcanica" and "Vivere Senza Aspettarsi Niente" are fantastic! Vallesi´s voice is a bit raspy -- in a great way. Adds to the passionate sound of his heart-felt vocals.
