Feb. 19 – “Sapessi Dire No,” Biagio Antonacci’s album, has been extraordinarily successful in 2012 in Italy, occupying the first place in the FIMI / GfK billboard for 12 weeks. Today, the album will be available on sale in the U.S: “I am very happy – said Antonacci – that this album is distributed in the U.S. and I am also very curious about this latest challenge that I face. Although today we live in an increasingly global world without borders, I am convinced that the United States is another world, and today, especially in the field of music, it continues to be a very exciting place. I hope that this experience can bring new elements and ideas, always essential for people like me who constantly seek ways, unusual experiences and feelings.” The album will be available both in digital format on the usual web channels and in physical format at Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com. The album won the Italian public with its extraordinary singles “Ti Dedico Tutto,””Non Vivo Più Senza Te,””Insieme Finire”, “Dimenticarti è Poco.” But it distinguished itself also thanks to the wealth of moods and genres, ranging from rock to melodic Latin rhythms, to create a record that is intimate and sentimental. The album is also a product for the international market and especially the United States. The album’s arrival in America confirms the artist’s notoriety in the region, already demonstrated in 2005, when Antonacci won Best-selling Italian Male Artist at the World Music Award, and by the numerous awards received by the song “Vivimi” composed by Biagio for Laura Pausini, and surely one of the most famous Italian songs abroad.
