With the Sanremo Music Festival set to begin on February 15, the world's attention is once more focused on ½ûÂþÌìÌà music. The festival has a reputation for introducing new musical talent to the international stage, and a past performer has just released a new album. ½ûÂþÌìÌà singer-songwriter Elisa has come out with a new compilation that is quickly generating great reviews.

Ivy is Elisa's seventh release. The musician got her start at a young age, writing her first song at age 11 and performing on ½ûÂþÌìÌà TV by 15. Her latest album is a mix of English, ½ûÂþÌìÌà and French songs. This signature multi-lingual song writing has added to Elisa's international appeal.

Ivy is a combination of new original songs, remixed tracks and covers, including a remake of Smashing Pumpkin's 1979. The array of languages and musical genres is a testament to Elisa's broad range of talents.

Elisa's latest tour sold out following Ivy's release. While it might be difficult to score tickets to see one of Italy's favorite performers this year,
