Nell'aria
"Nell'aria" (transl. "In the air") is a 1983 song written by Gianni Bella (music) and Mogol (lyrics), and performed by Marcella Bella. BackgroundThe song marked one of the early collaborations between Mogol and composer Gianni Bella, previously a longtime collaborator of Giancarlo Bigazzi.[1][2] Marcella initially refused to record the song, considering it "pornographic" because of its sexual contents and innuendos.[2][3] It achieved a large commercial success, serving as a turning point in the singer's career, who since then adopted a more sexy and transgressive image.[4] The song has been described as "unusual and original, whose melody plays on open, airy modulations and cadences" and with Bella's voice "conveying a warm carnality".[4] The song was sampled by 2Black in the song "Paradise" and by Articolo 31 in the song "Aria"[4][5] Track listing
