It 'essentially a hard rock that marks the comeback of Nek. "Philip Neviani" is the title of the project comes about two years after the greatest hits with whom the singer of Sassuolo had celebrated twenty years of career (it was back in 1992 when, in his early twenties, Nek debuted in the music business with "Love me", lead single of his first official album of the same name), two years in which his emotional life has been marked by one hand by the death of his father (to whom he dedicates the album), the other by the birth of his daughter Beatrice . Experiences, these, that have allowed Nek to search your feelings the right words and good insights, to fold in on itself in an attempt to capture all forms of inspiration.
And so come to light a new solo album, released simultaneously in Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Poland, Slovenia and Turkey on 16 April. Produced by the same Nek, along with nut Parisini and Alfredo Cerruti for Warner Music, "Philip Neviani" contains ten songs (including the first single, "Astral Conjunction") in which Nek is split in half between being an interpreter and being a songwriter. Five of the tracks that make up the album are in fact signed by the authors quoted Federica Camba and Daniel Coro (in addition to the lead single, "Half of nothing," "Only You", "Someone like me") or Andrea Amati ("Give me more "). All the others have the same signature instead of Nek in the text and music. Texts, all of these, which occur as well as invocations to love and need for strong emotions. Listening opens with "Hey God", a piece of high-impact Nek in which he rails against rabies and against the evils that afflict our society ("it's only the hatred that makes the news every damn tg", sings bitter), seeing in the feeling of love and faith in the bulwarks to retreat. The second track, "Astral Conjunction", is a beautiful declaration of love in music, "Inside the soul," the letter sweeter than a father to a son. Among other tracks, you report on all the effrontery to "I do not ever" and the addictive chorus of "Someone like me."
From the musical point of view, "Philip Neviani" is presented to the ears as a hard simple and straightforward, without too many tricks or electronic tricks, made a clean sound, poor. Nek is confirmed as a full-songwriter and able to play the triple role of author, artist and musician: all tracks on the disc have been played by him directly. What characterizes "Philip Neviani" could be defined as a natural rock and inspired by typical sounds of the great international power-trio band, which makes the album a happy island in the landscape confusing and too pop-winking of the Italian record. Not a disposable product, this, but a more sincere and unpretentious.
