Elisa Toffoli (born 19 December 1977), performing under the mononym Elisa, is an Italian singer-songwriter. She is one of the few Italian musicians who write and record mainly in English. She draws inspiration from many genres such as pop, alternative rock,[3] electronica[4] and trip hop. In Europe she is perhaps most recognised for the single "Come Speak to Me", while American audiences may recognise the song "Dancing" as featured in both the 2006 and 2007 seasons of So You Think You Can Dance. On 18 December 2012, her collaboration with Ennio Morricone, "Ancora qui", was featured in Quentin Tarantino's film Django Unchained and on its soundtrack album, which was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media.

She has released nine studio albums, five compilations, two live albums, eight video album and 51 singles, selling over 5.5 million copies in Italy, certified by M&D and FIMI with a diamond disc, a multiplatinum disc, 25 platinum and four gold certifications.[5]

She won six awards at the Sanremo Music Festival in 2001, one Targa Tenco, two Lunezia Awards, 13 Italian, Wind & Music Awards, one award at the Festivalbar, one Nastro d'Argento, one David di Donatello and several other awards, including one at the MTV Europe Music Awards.

Early life

[edit]

Elisa Toffoli was born on 19 December 1977, in Trieste in north-eastern Italy. She grew up in Monfalcone (27 km from Trieste, 17 km from Gorizia, 5 km from Slovenia, 80 km from Austria). Living in a border area, where she had the opportunity to listen to different languages and experience various cultures, was important for Elisa's later inspirations and helped her develop the ability to sing in multiple languages. Her early influences include Björk, PJ Harvey, Tori Amos, Aretha Franklin and Ella Fitzgerald,[6] and she has credited Rudyard Kipling and Jim Morrison of The Doors as lyrical inspirators.[7] She began writing songs at the age of 11 and later played in several local bands. At 15 she appeared in a karaoke TV program, Karaoke hosted by Rosario Fiorello.

Career

[edit]

2000s

[edit]

At 16, Elisa met Caterina Caselli, who one year later signed her to the record company Sugar Music. At 18 she left for Berkeley, California (US) to work on songs for her debut album with record producer Corrado Rustici, who has also worked with Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin and Zucchero among others.

Elisa's first single "Sleeping in Your Hand" was released in late May 1997, followed by her debut album Pipes & Flowers on 22 September of the same year. She was credited as a writer or co-writer on all tracks. The album soon went quadruple platinum in Italy and won her two prizes: Targa Tenco and PIM (Premio Italiano della Musica). She was also a special guest on Eros Ramazzotti's European tour. In 1998, the re-release of Pipes and Flowers included a new track, Cure Me, recorded in Venice with British producer Darren Allison (Spiritualized, Belle and Sebastian).[8]

5 May 2000 saw the release of Asile's World (Asile being Elisa written backwards). The album took a new turn in terms of musical influences and featured songs produced by Howie B, Roberto Vernetti, Mauro Malavasi and Leo Z.

In September 2000 Elisa recorded her first song in Italian, "Luce (Tramonti a nord est)". The song was initially written in English, but an Italian lyric was written in collaboration with fellow singer Zucchero. The song was performed at the 2001 Sanremo Festival supported by the Solis String Quartet, and won her the Critics' Award, Interpreter of the Year as well as the competition altogether. Both Italian and English versions were later included in a re-release of Asile's World. In November she was awarded three prizes at the Italian Music Awards: Best Female Artist, Best Single (Luce) and Best Song, as well as taking home the Best Italian Artist at the 2001 MTV Europe Music Awards in Frankfurt. She also received Premio Italiano della Musica's Best Female Artist and Best Single (Luce).

Elisa's third album, Then Comes the Sun was released on 9 November 2001, with Rustici returning as producer. The album saw a return to a more pop/rock sound and went triple platinum. The following year she performed both at the closing of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah, singing a jazzy version of the Italian national hymn, and at the 2002 Pavarotti and Friends concert, singing Voglio vivere così (col sole in fronte) with the world-famous tenor.

In August 2002, Sugar Music released an international album simply titled Elisa. The album is a selection of songs from her first three albums fronted by Come Speak to Me, the original English version of her hit Luce. The single received high rotation on MTV Europe as well as fair airplay and moderate attention in several European countries, but still failed to establish Elisa as an international artist.

In late 2003, Elisa released the album Lotus, an acoustic album featuring new, stripped-down versions of some of her songs as well as a handful of new ones, including a cover version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah". The album was followed by an extensive acoustic Italian tour as well as a double DVD set consisting of an MTV Supersonic concert and The making of Lotus.

Elisa's fourth studio album Pearl Days was released on 15 October 2004. All tracks were produced by Glen Ballard, known for producing Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill and tracks for artists such as Anastacia, Michael Jackson, Shakira, Christina Aguilera and The Corrs. The album was more rock influenced and sported more electric guitars than her earlier records. One of the songs, Life Goes On, was later translated to Italian (Una poesia anche per te) and became the fourth best-selling single in Italy in 2005. The single was accompanied by a self-directed video which won the Premio Video Italiano for Best Female Artist. In the summer of 2005, Elisa appeared at the Live 8 concert in Rome alongside Zucchero, Luciano Ligabue and other major Italian artists.

Two non-album singles were released in 2005 and 2006, Swan and Teach Me Again (duet with Tina Turner). Both supported major Italian films, namely Melissa P. and All the Invisible Children (Segment 9: Song Song & Little Cat directed by John Woo). Elisa also performed Luce (Tramonti a nord est) at the closing ceremony of the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino.

On 17 November 2006 Soundtrack '96-'06 was released, a collection of hits from her first ten years as a recording artist. The album also contained four new songs; three in Italian and one in English. The album peaked at number 1, was certified diamond and became the third best-selling album of 2006 in Italy, with more than 700,000 copies sold. A revised edition titled Caterpillar was released in September 2007, aimed at the international market. Several of the songs had been remixed, rearranged and partly rerecorded, and it featured an entirely new cover version of The Rolling Stones' song Wild Horses. The box set Soundtrack Live '96-'06 was released on 23 November 2007, containing a CD and DVD from a Milan concert during the 2007 Soundtrack Live Tour.

In the wake of Elisa's increased popularity due to her song Dancing appearing on So You Think You Can Dance, yet another compilation album appropriately named Dancing was released in the US on 15 July 2008. Being the singer's first album available in the US, it is recognised as her American debut.

Elisa released her next album, Heart, on 13 November 2009. The first single was Ti vorrei sollevare, with Giuliano Sangiorgi from Italian rock band Negramaro. The album also contains a collaboration with Antony Hegarty from Antony and the Johnsons on the song "Forgiveness". On 30 November 2010, Elisa released Ivy, an album in the same vein as Lotus, featuring three new tracks, acoustic versions of her past songs and covers such as "1979" by the Smashing Pumpkins. The album sold over 80,000 copies in Italy and was further supported by a tour. In the same year Elisa collaborated with music producer / musician Gaudi for the track "Brainwashed Again", included on his album "No Prisoners".

The album was recorded in English with two Italian-language tracks, "Bruciare per te" and a collaboration called "Sorrido già" with Emma Marrone and Giuliano Sangiorgi.[17] It debuted at number one on the FIMI Albums Chart, becoming the singer-songwriter's fourth album to top the chart.[18] Two additional singles came from this album: "Love me forever" and "Bruciare per te". Between November and December 2016, Elisa began touring in Italy, the United Kingdom and Ireland.[19][20]

Elisa released her tenth studio album Diari aperti through Universal Music Group on 26 October 2018, which debuted at number two on the Italian Albums Chart.[25] The album's lead single, "Se piovesse il tuo nome", peaked at number four on the FIMI Italian chart and at number one on the Italian Airplay Chart for nine weeks.[26] In January 2019, Elisa released the album's second single, "Anche fragile", singing it at the Sanremo Music Festival 2019 where she appeared as a special guest.[27] In May 2019, "Vivere tutte le vite" featuring rapper Carl Brave was released as the album's third single.[28] The following 17 September she published the fifth single "Tua per sempre".[29] The singer announced that an expanded version of the album, Diari aperti (Segreti Svelati), would be released on 15 November 2019 with a total of 21 tracks stemming from the tenth album Diari Aperti and the English EP Secret Diaries.[30] album featured collaborations with Carmen Consoli, Brunori Sas and Rkomi.
