Io non sarei
Io non sarei is the eighth studio album by Italian singer Alessandra Amoroso, released on 13 June 2025 by Epic.
Description
Following the release of her seventh studio album, Tutto accade, in 2021, and the promotional tour, Tutto accade tour, in 2022, Amoroso took a recording break. In 2024, she participated in the Sanremo Music Festival for the first time with the song Fino a qui, explaining that she had withdrawn from public life following media pillorying and a hate campaign against her following incidents that occurred a few weeks after the concert held at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium in Milan, Tutto succede a San Siro in 2022.The album is composed of eleven tracks with the participation in the writing of the singer herself, Federica Abbate, Alessandro La Cava, Davide Petrella, Jacopo Ettorre, Alessandro Raina and Tananai, as well as the collaboration of BigMama and Serena Brancale. In an interview given to Billboard Italia the singer talked about the production process and the meaning of the project:
The process was a sort of continuous flow, a relentless practice of writing, which I let myself be carried away by. Each time I learned something new from the various collaborators and artists who were at my side. This is the album of completeness. Both on an artistic level, in the sense that I fully identify with what I write and sing, and on a personal level, as a woman.
Reception
Paolo Panzeri of Rockol states that the album's tracks are "in pure Amoroso style, embracing the sounds of modern pop while also embracing more intimate and soulful sounds," highlighting "the musical and human candor that has always distinguished her," noting that they are nothing new in the artist's discography.Paolo Aruffo of Today describes the project as "enjoyable overall" and with a soulful sound, noting that the singer "has finally shed a heavy layer that wasn't hers" from previous projects, but finding a limitation in offering only five new songs compared to the singles.
