Adesso is the fourth solo studio album by Italian singer-songwriter Emma Marrone, released by Universal Music Italy on 27 November 2015. [1]

Contents

The album was promoted by several singles, including "Occhi profondi", "Arriverà l'amore" and "Io di te non ho paura". [2] It peaked at number two on the Italian Albums Chart and was certified double platinum by FIMI. On 2 December 2016 the album was reiussed as Adesso Tour Edition with two bonus tracks and the collaboration "Libre" with Álvaro Soler. [3]

Composition

The album features thirteen tracks all produced by Luca Mattioni and Marrone herself, becoming the first album entirely produced by the singer. [4] [5] The tracks were inspired by pop rock and electronic music. [6] [7] In an interview with Rockol the singer told about the process of production with Mattioni, sound decisions and recording of the songs: [8]

"I aimed to make a record the old-fashioned way, choosing people well. For example, Luca Mattioni: he worked a lot abroad, he is someone like me who talks little and works a lot in the studio, very little talk. [...] I had a clear idea of the tracks, the sound I wanted in them, the mix between genres. I nagged Luca to arrive at this sound. I'm not new to electronics-it's just the first time I've used it in front of a large audience. I was born with these sounds, I had a trio doing electronic music and even before Amici I participated in the Sziget Festival, when it didn't yet have the name and importance it has now. I took the opposite path of other people-I didn't start from pop to get to ghetto, I started from ghetto to get to pop"

The tracks were being composed by different authors, including Dario Faini, Diego Mancino, Ermal Meta, Giuseppe Anastasi and Giuliano Sangiorgi. [9] In an interview with Vanity Fair Italia , Emma Marrone explained the decision of the collaborations on the writing process: [10]

"I surrounded myself with people who helped me, this record is the fruit of a group work, it is the record of bets, full of very young authors, without the cool duet to make people talk about the record. These are songs born among friends, around a little beer on the Milan Navigli or born after a chat, without that commercial contamination generated by the anxiety of going out on the market."

Promotion

The lead single "Occhi profondi" was published on 19 June 2015. [11] It was followed by "Arriverà l'amore" on 23 October 2015, [12] which anticipated the album published on 27 November 2015. [13] [14] On 22 January 2015 "Io non ho paura" was released as the third single. After "Il paradiso non esisite", Emma collaborated on the Italian version of "Libre" by Álvaro Soler. [15] The last single from the album was "Quando le canzoni finiranno" on 18 November 2016.

Between September to October 2016 Emma embraced the Adesso Tour in Italy. [16] [17] On 2 December 2024 the album was reissued with the titled Adesso Tour Edition with two bonus tracks while the related DVD featured the live recorded track from the tour. [18] [19]

Critics reception

The album received generally positive reviews by the Italian music critics. [20] [21] [22]

Mattia Marzi of Rockol defined the album as the second chapter of Schiena , as "a state of calmness and serenity; [...] It does not tell one story, but many different stories", in which the "electronic music represents only a small segment of the album, and the experimental and research work" with "new shades of her voice". [23]
