Background and composition

[edit]

The album, produced by the singer herself with Michele Canova Iorfida,[5] involved in writing and composition international artists such as Natasha Bedingfield, Olly Murs, Michael Landau, Alex James, Norma Jean Martine and Alicia Keys.[6][7][8] In an interview with La Repubblica:[9]

"It's a confluence of so many things that I've struggled with for years, without being able to fully amalgamate them, the writing, the singing, the arrangements, let's say that in the end it's like I came together, completely."

Critics reception

[edit]

Rockol wrote that it is understood from the tracks that "she seems to have learned to trust her instincts more and more, when recording she proves to be more spontaneous than usual", expressed through passages with "contagious, lively contemporaneity" and others with "universal emotions". The magazine appreciated the collaboration with Keys, writing that it is a "a must-have gem for contemporary soul", appreciating Keys' willingness to "spiritually" enter the song by singing in Italian.[10]

Alessandro Alicandri of Panorama wrote that Giorgia has a "solar" approach to lyrics and themes and with ballads that are "few, measured and very intense", affirming the track "Avrò cura di te" as the best on the album. Alicandri considered that the album "looks fashionable without ever becoming experimental" while still remaining "very fresh and enjoyable".[11]
