Dietro le apparenze is the eighth studio album by Italian singer Giorgia, released on 6 September 2011 by Sony Music.[1]
The album featured severals successful singles includiond "Il mio giorno migliore" and the collaborations "Inevitabile" with Eros Ramazzotti and "Tu mi porti su" with Jovanotti.[2][3] It peaked at number one on the Italian Albums Chart, becoming her second recording project to achieve it since Ladra di vento (2003), selling over 120,000 units in Italy.[4]
Background and composition
After her seventh studio album Stonata (2007), Giorgia took a discography break and changed her menagement team;[5] in 2010 she also gave birth of their first child with her fiancé Emanuel Lo.[6][7] In May 2011 Giorgia announced her eighth studio album Dietro le apparenze,[8] produced by the singer herself with the new producer Michele Canova.[9] The record project featured thirteen traks with collaboration with italian singers Eros Ramazzotti and Jovanotti.[10][11] In an interview with Rockol Giorgia explained the meaning of the album and its production process:[12]
"At a later age, you gain an awareness that allows you to notice things that used to pass before your eyes without a trace. On this record I wrote less than on those made in the past, but I realized that you have to 'feel' a song in order to interpret it credibly. So even in this respect I must admit that 'Behind Appearances' represents a big step forward."
Critics reception
In an album review Rockol wrote that Giorgia "mixes together different genres and different types of interpretation" whit "lyrics that are sometimes reflective and sometimes ironic" and "notable collaborations embellish the final work without taking away from the singer-songwriter's focus".[13]
