Piccola anima

Last updated

"I've been a huge fan of Elisa since her album Pipes & Flowers . In 2016 I was lucky enough to open some of her concerts for her album On . I proposed her to collaborate and I played her this song: Elisa loved it and agreed to sing it with me. This makes me proud and proud."

Elisa also spoke about the collaboration, declaring: "thanks to you Ermal Meta, who was able to tell the voice of a woman's heart. A woman who unfortunately many times has lived and lives in all of us. And then long live all men with a capital "m". Those who use their strength to do good. Those like you." [4]

Critics reception

Fabio Fiume of All Music Italia described the song as "a ballad" in which the two artists "play between vocals and together sing and reinforce a concept that we should all make our own, namely that "nothing is more fragile than a promise and I won't even make you one" perhaps we would avoid giving others disappointments, even unintentional ones". [5] Mattia Marzi of Rockol observed that musically it presents "acoustic and sparse sounds" set to a "ternary rhythm", giving an overall "emotional" duet. [6]

Music video

The music video for the song was released on November 10, 2017, through Ermal Meta's YouTube channel. I was filmed in Priverno, Italy. [7]
