The Spanish version of the album is titled El mundo es nuestro was published on 10 March 2023.[2]
Composition
Il mondo è nostro was produced by Tiziano Ferro himself, Marco Sonzini, Tha Supreme and Sting, who also duet with Ferro on "For Her Love - Sempre amata".[3] The album featured the songwriting contributions of Brunori Sas and Dimartino, with vocal collaborations by Caparezza, Ambra Angiolini and Roberto Vecchioni.[4][5] Ferro has described the creative process and the meaning of the album:
As early as the second or third studio album, I started to think, "Tiziano, you have nothing more to say." In 2020, with the pandemic, that fear came back stronger than before. I looked in the mirror and asked myself what I really did in life. I answered, "I sing for people." Maybe it is a trivial thing, but people like me who have a long history in music are unfortunately spoiled, or rather, comfortable: I have a group of people who work with me, who stimulate me, who help me to do things that alone you can no longer think about. And instead this time alone, with my music-making program and a computer, I'm back to the essence. Like in my little room as a kid.[6]
The Spanish version of the album was translated by Ferro himself, José Manuel Moles and Juan Mari Montes.[7]
Critical reception
Mattia Marzi of Rockol gave the album a score of 7 out of 10, defining it "the perfect portrait of who he is today" and appreciating that the artist dedicated himself to the production of the songs. Marzi stressed that the singer-songwriter "between acoustic guitar, choruses and R&B sounds goes back to being the one who on Top of the Pops in the 2000s sang Xdono".[8] Gabriele Antonucci, a Panorama music reviewer, noted that Il mondo è nostro is the singer-songwriter's attempt to "spread the cards and try his hand at new territories, stimulated by the duets", appreciating the maintenance of the "highly emotional, piano-centered ballad" in which he can express his vocal abilities. However, the journalist described the new experiments as having "mixed results", finding Ferro's performance in the collaboration with Thasup "embarrassing".[9]
