Filippo Neviani is the eleventh studio album of Italian singer Nek.
Development and composition
The album's title is Nek's real name. The album was dedicated to his deceased father, and the birth of his daughter, Beatrice. The album was "written more natural, more personal, more heartfelt." Nek said that his father always wanted to see Filippo's surname "Neviani" on a cover of one of his albums.[1]
All of the instruments, such as the guitar, bass guitar, and drums, were played by Nek. This was due to the fact that when musicians play certain instruments for his songs, he felt that "you lose a part of the magic". This was also why he kept musical sequences, synths, violins, and other orchestral instruments out of the album, with support only from his engineer.[1]
Nek considered the music in the album to be more "rock" than his previous albums. He notes "It's a genre that I have always heard, I'm an incurable nostalgic... I've never done this kind of music explicitly, as a citation, but I wanted to get closer to a color more 'rock' because I felt the need... I borrowed [music] from [rock bands, which was] useful during the development of the songs."[1]
