Filippo Neviani is the eleventh studio album of Italian singer Nek.

Development and composition

The album's title is actually Nek's real name. This was because the album was dedicated to his deceased father, and the birth of his daughter, Beatrice. Yet, 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 to 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]

The album debuted in Italy at #2, but dropped to #7 the next week, and by the week after dropped to #11.[2] In Switzerland, it started at #24, and made it to its chart position of #16 the next week. However, it then dropped to #24, and then to #35.[3]
