The version on the album is also present in the same file and features the same Annalisa as the sole author of the text. The music is also by Annalisa in conjunction with Giuseppe Perris and called Pino Perris. Perris's role in the passage was mainly to treat harmony.[14][15]

From pop rock to jazz footprint

The genus was mainly pop prevalent here in the variant pop rock.[17] Here however, he was characterized by multiple shades, mainly characterized by fingerprints jazz.[15][16] We find jazz atmosphere both in the song Scintille that in Io tu e noi, the latter is characterized by a typical Jazz sound. The singer stated that they discovered that following a brief interest in Heavy metal music, jazz is the basis for the ballet classic is for the dance.[16] The minimal reappears in the music of the closing track, La prima volta, consisting of piano and cello.[15][16]

Issues

The concept album traces various aspects of love, from the melancholic to the ironic, as with the singer's solo discography.[16] This paper addresses social issues such (like addiction and the consequent solitude which emerged due to the protagonist's bondage desires) in the single, "Alice e il blu". Issues that take away from the reality Alice, with respect to the illusory and utopian world that was created mentally.[15] The piece comes with a story identical to story structures, with a development and a moral at the end.[15] It also addresses the issue of social violence against womenin the track Spara amore mio. The song emphasizes and warns of a blind love which often remain the woman for a purely feminine instinct, next to his executioner rather than away from it. This blind love causes the woman to accept suffering rather than lose her loved one. In the song you can hear the voice on an emergency call to US 911.[15][16]

The singer herself says

The record shows both sides of the coin with a "b-side" more emotional, intimate and interior. The awareness of its limitations is the thread that ties all the songs, even those of the "side" that deal with lightness, humor and precautions weighty themes such as addiction and the femicide.
