Amore puro

After her 2010 second studio album Il mondo in un secondo, Amoroso started working on the new record project with a new production team held by Tiziano Ferro and Michele Canova.^[5][6] The album featured eleventh tracks, with several songwriters and composers, including Amoroso herself in the opening track, Tiziano Ferro, Emeli Sandé, Biagio Antonacci, Audra Mae and Jon Bellion.^[7][8] In an interview with La Repubblica, Amoroso explained the artistic direction of the album and her work with Ferro:^[9]

"At first I wondered if I could sing the songs of a great performer like Titian Ferro. Then it went well, he helped me change my vocality by making me discover nuances that I didn't even know I had. I always sang with very high notes, constantly choked on the high notes, with Ferro I discovered intimate and deep tones. Even the spoken word. And that was a great growth. The sounds on the record are lower, without losing sight of the more rhythmic songs."

Mattia Marzi of Rockol reported that Ferro's "characteristic traits can be found in the album, from the vocabulary to the use of verbs, even in the way Alessandra interprets the songs," appreciating the songs by Sandé and Antonacci. However, Marzi wrote that there is a perceived "lack of a common thread that binds the songs together" and a "lack of homogeneity" in the quality of the production, believing however that the artist has taken "a step forward" finding her " more personal and mature than her predecessors" and "one of the most valid pop interpreters on the Italian music scene."^[10]
