Noi, Loro, Gli Altri: the originality of the album
There are several features of this album that make it unique. First of all, the current problems it brings to the surface. To name a few: overexposure on social media to appear to be something you are not, true friendship, the search for yourself and the truth, criticism of those who wear different masks, who change according to what suits them, and the mystery of the existence of lasting love.
Everything is accompanied by cultural references, rhetorical figures and references to current events and well-known personalities that help the most attentive listener to identify with and fully understand what Marracash wants to communicate with his lyrics.
Another factor that contributes to its originality is the presence of not only official but also hidden achievements. The official ones are ∞ Love with Gué, Honorary title with Calcutta, Nemesis with Blanco and Dumbo gets a crazy skit Exactly the right thing for me Dumbo gets angry. The hidden ones are psalm And Joan Thiele In CosplayerJoan Thiele there again We, Us, them, the others Sketch with Fabri Fibra and the presence of the voices of Mahmood And Elodie In Crazy love.
It's about the listener who hears a voice other than Marra and tries to understand who is behind the undiscovered actions. A bit like a treasure hunt that helps keep viewers focused.
