This is the 1986 debut album by Italian female singer-songwriter Linda Di Franco. It features a variety of tracks, including A1 with its laid-back percussion-driven rhythm and melancholic keyboard melody, and B1 which unfolds in an adult and moody way with a tango-like rhythm. These tracks have gained attention in the current Balearic dance scene. The album is filled with mellow, atmospheric songs that highlight Linda Di Franco's languid, husky vocals. Among the many Sade followers who emerged at the time, she stands out as an artist with a unique atmosphere. A1 is a memorable track that Discossession covered.
