The album debuted at number six on the FIMI Albums Chart and was certified platinum in Italy.[4] It was the best-selling female album of 2020 in Italy.[5]

Background

The project was realized between 2018 and 2019, during which Elodie recorded over seventy songs, selecting sixteen, composed by forty-five songwriters and seventeen producers[6][7] like Dardust, Mahmood, Max Brigante, Jacopo Pesce, Neffa, Marracash, Levante and Takagi & Ketra.[8] The album moves on various musical genres, from pop to hip hop to reggaeton, soul and urban.[9] During an interview, the singer described the album as if it was her first musical project: "I worked at three hundred and sixty degrees, from the choice of sound to that of the lyrics, because I wanted them to speak like me in a raw, direct way. [...] It was my dream, the way I imagined myself, ever since I started. I met the songwriters, I told them about me, to find something that fits my personality".[10]

Promotion

The album was anticipated by some collaborations released between 2018 and 2019, including "Nero Bali" with Michele Bravi and Gué Pequeno[11] and "Margarita" with Marracash;[12] both were certified double platinum.[13][14] The album also includes "Pensare male", recorded with The Kolors and certified platinum.[15]

In January 2020 "Non è la fine" with Gemitaiz and "Mal di testa" with Fabri Fibra were released.[16] Elodie participated with "Andromeda" at the Sanremo Music Festival 2020, a choice made by the singer and the record label in order to "break certain schemes of the Italian discography, which is sometimes a bit too lazy".[17] The single later peaked at number six on the FIMI Singles Chart, being certified platinum.[18]

On 13 May 2020 "Guaranà" was released as the eighth single and was included on the streaming reissue of the album, receiving a double disc of platinum.[19]
