“It’s an album where I’m coming out of a somewhat complicated period,” he began before adding: “Typically, I called it The Beautificationwhile it wasn’t at all the improvement in my head, but it was a force of persuasion. I wanted to convince myself of it and it brought me the improvement, finally.
The singer now admits that he appreciates this album over time, especially because Jean-Jacques Goldman offered his help to finish it. Calogero confides that the singer of the title Fly me away allowed him to finalize the piece It is said which he considers to be the “locomotive of the album”.
