Elettra (Italian for Electra) is the seventh studio album by Italian singer-songwriter Carmen Consoli, released in 2009.
It was mixed in Rome and mastered in Portland by Bob Ludwig.
[3] The album has a more European and less ethnic sound than previous Consoli's works.
[3] The bossa nova "Non molto lontano da qui", "Mandaci una cartolina" (a portrait of Consoli's father, who had died in May 2009 following an aneurysm), and "'A finestra" served as album's singles.
[3] Several songs have strong themes, such as the title song "Elettra", which is a portrait of a prostitute who falls in love for a client, and "Mio zio", which tells of incestuous rape.
