Foreword: I love rock music, but I also think that beyond labels there exists good music and bad music. Good music is the kind that leaves you with something, that moves you and makes you feel better. Lorenzo Cherubini has been achieving this for a long time, and he has done it once again with this latest work.
The intention is to revisit the sound with which he started so many years ago, instilling an artistic awareness that wasn’t present at the time of his first album (remember Jovannotti for president?); now it is there, indeed it is. I won’t mention the individual tracks because anyone who wants the album will listen to it in whatever format they prefer: I believe the unifying element of the record revolves around the concept of "freedom".
Lorenzo returns to this theme multiple times, turning it into an anthem of joy despite the fact that the gestation of this album occurred during a difficult time for him: instead of crying, he shouts, laughs, sweats, and exudes life from every single sound. Well done Lorenzo, and thank you for your feeling, thank you for your soul. When I heard "Quando sarò vecchio" I was moved because it's the song I would have played to my recently lost aunt: harsh lyrics in contrast with music that makes you tap your feet to the ground even if you don’t want to.
The human element, pockets full of stones, and an illusion are little gems to discover. And then again, rhythm, rhythm, impulses: I dance, megamix, the door is open, red with emotion: yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Once more, the wonderful beautiful life, a beautiful experiment inviting us to live with the "36-tooth smile". Dear Lorenzo, you said this album is a collection of songs without a thread.. it’s not true, perhaps you’re too modest.
Until next time, little artist........

The merit of this Ora is that it finally manages to sound like an authentic album: there’s nothing forced, everything is genuine, “felt” by the artist.
Finally Lorenzo makes the music he wants, without having to answer to anyone.

"This album is really lacking in ideas... 'Tutto L'Amore Che Ho' is a completely banal song."
"I never would have expected Cherubini to release an exceptional album like Safari again, but I also did not expect this flop."

A brilliant musical journey that captivates with every track.
Ora showcases Jovanotti's creative energy and artistic mastery.
