Elisa: “Amore è” is the first extract from her new album
Elisa returns with “Amore è”, a single that anticipates the next album of unreleased songs expected in the coming months and which marks the beginning of a new artistic phase. The song had already become one of the most anticipated moments of the latest concerts in the sports halls, where Elisa had previewed it, immediately transforming it into an explosion of collective energy. And in fact “Love is” has precisely this double soul inside: on the one hand emotional fragility, on the other a sonic tension that continually pushes forward.
Written by Elisa herself and produced by Dardust, the piece intertwines piano and electronics without ever losing the human side of the story. There is a confessional, almost diaristic writing that moves between urban images, desire and need for freedom. But above all there is a very precise idea of love: not something that simply happens, but rather a continuous choice, an emotional stance. “Let yourself live / let yourself be taken / let yourself be free to choose” thus becomes the center of the song, almost a manifesto. Musically, Elisa avoids the classic ballad and prefers to build a constant tension, making the piece grow between melodic openings and layered production. It is a song that focuses more on movement than on the final explosion, and for this reason it manages to convey well that feeling of lucid restlessness that runs through the entire text. The video also accompanies this suspended and nervous atmosphere, amplifying the sense of research and transformation that the piece brings with it.
But beyond the visual impact“Amore è” works above all because it seems to tell a precise moment in Elisa’s artistic life: the one in which maturity does not coincide with the need to control everythingbut with the courage to let in chaos, doubts and even contradictions. After the success of the last tour in the sports halls, the single arrives as a bridge towards the next album, which from this first taste already seems to want to bring together introspection and sonic research with an even more marked freedom than his latest works.
