Savage, whose real name is Roberto Zanetti, is an Italian singer-songwriter who achieved his first success in 1983 with the title "Don’t cry tonight".
He did it again a year later in 1984 with the Single “Only you” which also had a nice run in the Charts. The album "Tonight" was released in the process. Flagship album of his discography which will produce two other notorious hits which are “Radio” and “A love again”.
He will follow the successes at high speed with titles like "Time" in 1985, "Celebrate" and "Love is death" in 1986. As well as a Hi-NRG cover of the Cutting Crew title "I just ided in your arms ” which will remain as one of his finest achievements.
From the 90s, he abandoned the singer's cap in favor of that of producer. And will produce some of the biggest hits of the 90s !
Including some of the best known titles from Alexia and Ice MC.

Tracks :
1983 ... the beginnings of the one who will become one of the Princes of Italo-Disco. A first title which is already setting the trend : Roberto is not there to make up !
1984 ... title after title, the artist shows that he is particularly gifted in this particular area. And despite a certain talent, it is not necessarily him who will remain as the best known ...
1984 ... a big year 1984 with no less than 3 high-caliber titles on the clock. A linear progression that takes him level after level ...
1984 ... which will surely remain as one of his most successful titles. An Italo-Disco sector which has really produced an incalculable number of treasures, most of which are still little known ...
1985 ... as much as 1984 was a prolific year, 1985 was going to be a minimalist year for the release of titles. Only 1 title but of certain quality, we will therefore be satisfied with it largely !
1986 ... the artist follows his little path with more or less success. This 1st title of 1986 will not necessarily remain as the best but it has the merit of existing ...
1986 ... a year 1986 which will not be remembered as its best. A fairly minimalist inspiration which is enough for him to produce a few large-scale Dance titles, but nothing more. Can and must do better !
1988 ... the sound has evolved, that's clear. It was time. Renewal of sound, return of inspiration, the artist finally finds the path to success !
1988 ... a beautiful year 1988 with a succession of particularly inspired pieces. Like what, when he wants ...
1989 ... a change of vintage which rhymes with a luxury cover of the Cutting Crew title dating from 1986. A bit easy ...
1989 ... the artist slips slowly but surely towards Italo-Dance. He sticks well to his time but that is not enough to put him back on the road to success over the long term ...
1990 ... in any case that does not prevent him from continuing the adventure with this new title which holds the road my faith. Admittedly, it won't be the mega hit of the year but it's still a good job...
1993...we're not going to lie to each other, the best years are now behind him. But he still has things to offer at first sight and especially to sing...
1994...revisiting the title of Depeche Mode dating from 1987 will not bring him more than that on the previous title, it is clear. But the main thing for him now is to simply take pleasure in what he does...
1994...surprising to see him in a much softer register but it's also good to see him venture on paths he knows little or nothing about...
2009... we will lose sight of him for nearly 15 years, a period when he will prefer to produce other talents. But here he is again, anyway, to the delight of his basic fans...
2010... a comeback which will not necessarily rhyme with success but which will all the same allow him to show that he still exists...
2010... not only does he still exist but he has lost none of its original talent. Which suggests a future career not devoid of interest, that's for sure...
2013 ... certainly he will never regain his level of productivity of the 80s but it is clear that he is coming back to do everything except figuration ...
2016... it is clear that he will have a hard time fighting with the younger generation but he surely has things to teach him in any case. In particular how to last over time...
2020...and here he is proudly starting this new decade 2020 with the firm intention of not giving up. Who would blame him...
2020...especially since it's far from being ridiculous once again. And as many former colleagues have also decided to return at the start of the 2020s, he will inevitably feel less alone...
2020...many 'grandpas' who started like him in the 80s want to make it a point of honor to produce new things during this new decade. For our greatest happiness necessarily...
2020... and it's not a title here and there but downright full albums. A comeback that we can only welcome, that's clear...
2020... because on this one there is quantity and quality which does not spoil anything quite the contrary. Now it remains to be seen whether he will have the strength to surprise us again in the years to come...
Top Bonus : 2020...still active, he doesn't intend to retire for the moment at first glance...
Top Bonus : 1996, when the singer changes hats and becomes a successful producer !
