(ANSA) – ROME, 02 DEC – ROME, 02 DEC – “I slapped myself and my fears, but especially during the period of the pandemic I began to understand myself, to look deeper. Now somehow I forgave myself and reached a balance “. And around this “acquittal” revolves the new work by Marco Mengoni, Materia (Terra), to be released on December 3 by Epic Records Italy / Sony Music Italy and which arrives more than two years after the Atlantic multiplatinum. The record is the beginning of a new path, the first stage of a more complex project. “Materia will consist of three albums, each of which will tell three different souls, three sound worlds that all together represent me from my origins to what I am today”. Terra starts from the origins and relives memories, plays and reflections of the singer-songwriter. That forgiveness and moving forward through the changes and taking the right time to design a new Mengoni, more adult and aware of himself and his music for a record that he defines as “right”. “I don’t know if it’s perfect or imperfect, good or bad, but I know it’s right. Something you can’t say no to, like drinking or eating. It was a psychological need, for which it wasn’t enough to dedicate just one record. if it is outside the logic of the market of the moment “. In the summer then for Mengoni it will be the first time in stadiums: on June 19 in Milan, on June 22 in Rome. “We are working on it, on stage I would like to have up to 40 musicians”. Meanwhile, the Sanremo festival is looming: “I do not set limits, but my calendar is rather tight. And for now I have not received any proposal to go”. (HANDLE). FAS / S0B QBXB (ANSA).
