Review by Alshe Dupur

Album Review: W W Il Presidente by Virginia Todde (1985) Virginia Todde’s W W Il Presidente is one of those hidden gems from the mid-'80s that feels like it slipped through the cracks of time. Released in 1985 under the Italian label I.G.E.A., this album blends pop and electronic vibes with a dash of chanson and disco flair. It’s quirky, unexpected, and honestly? A little bit unforgettable. Let’s talk tracks. The title track, “W W Il Presidente,” hits you right off the bat with its bold, anthemic vibe. It’s got this punchy synth line that feels straight out of a retro arcade game but layered with Todde’s theatrical vocals. You can tell she’s not just singing—she’s performing, like she’s on stage at some futuristic cabaret. There’s something oddly empowering about it, even if you don’t speak Italian. The chorus sticks in your head for days, which, let’s be real, is what good pop music should do. Then there’s “L’Isoletta Nel Perù,” which takes things down a notch but keeps the charm cranked up. This one leans more into the chanson style, with a dreamy, almost whimsical melody. The lyrics paint this picture of an island paradise lost in Peru—or maybe it’s metaphorical? Either way, it’s transportive. The percussion has this subtle disco kick that sneaks up on you, making it impossible not to tap your foot. It’s the kind of song you’d play at sunset if you were feeling nostalgic for places you’ve never even been. What makes W W Il Presidente stand out isn’t just its mix of genres or Todde’s unique voice—it’s how unapologetically itself it is. Back in ’85, while much of the world was chasing big-hair rock or neon-soaked synthpop, Todde was doing her own thing. She wasn’t trying to fit into any box, and that’s refreshing. Looking back, it’s wild to think this album came out nearly four decades ago. Listening to it now feels like stepping into a time capsule—but not one of those dusty old ones. It’s more like a glittery, neon-lit capsule that smells faintly of hairspray and optimism. If you’re into obscure Italian pop or just wanna hear something different, give this one a spin. Random thought: I bet Virginia Todde would’ve killed it on TikTok today. Imagine those synths going viral.
