Scandalo ('Scandal') is Gianna Nannini's ninth studio album, and eleventh album overall.

Composition

Nannini started composing the album during a trip in Japan and China, and developed it between Wuppertal and Milan.[1][2] It was recorded at RAK Studios in London, under the co-production of David M. Allen.[1] Nannini explained the title as "Scandal is the only way we have to rebel against certain prepackaged statuses of life that do not correspond in the least to everyday reality."[2]

Release

The album was released on 27 August 1990, while Nannini was still enjoying international success for "Un'estate italiana".[1][3] A Scandalo Tour to promote the album, consisting of 44 dates across 12 countries, followed.[1] The eponymous lead single "Scandalo", whose music video was directed by Yello leader Dieter Meier,[2] topped the Italian hit parade.[3] In Italy, in less than two weeks it was certified platinum for having sold over 250,000 copies.[2]

Reception

The album has been described as "characterized by a variety of cues scattered here and there throughout the tracks, [...] a thoroughly professional effort but lacking the energy of other Nannini works".[1]
