"Listen to the latest release from Alfie Zappacosta, START AGAIN, and be prepared to enter the world of romance... Alfie Zappacosta exudes all that is chivalrous, charismatic, and passionate, when putting love-life events into a lyrical context. 'We Should Be Lovers' is a timeless example of Zappacosta's appeal, and ability convey his meaning to the listener. This is Zappacosta at his very finest.

All I can say Alfie is - it's about time! From one of Canada's most charismatic performers and uniquely intelligent storytellers comes this much-awaited new effort - Start Again. This wonderfully diverse collection of new (and a few classic) songs really showcases Alfie's musical maturity. The title track is about "not giving up or being afraid of change, which can be scary," says Zappacosta. "The emotional part of that message is timeless and universal." My favorite is "Tears of Hercules", written by Marc Jordan and Stephan Mocchio and featuring the gorgeous piano of Glenn Morley. And, for the first time in his career, Alfie sings in his native Italian on "Tu Si Na Cosa Grande" (You Are My Life). I've been a huge AZ fan since 1995's "Innocence Ballet". Now all I can say is Alfie - thank you! Please start again on your next project! - Vickie Van Dyke
