Review: ALFA – “I don’t know who created the world but I know he was in love”

Reviews

Alpha is the best youth. The colorful side of Generation Z. The boy next door, smiling, with butterflies in his belly and with a big yellow heart.

“I don’t know who created the world but I know he was in love” is his manifesto.

The story of the various facets of love. His story, his narration of life, friendship and relationships.
Not all roses and flowers, let’s explain straight away. Love that brings failures, dreams, desires, pain, but not those sick, exasperated, distorted situations of too much music of this generation.

Andrea De Filippi, Alfa’s real name, is a boy like many others, a friend, a boyfriend, a schoolmate who has a positive, kind vision of the world based on love, mutual respect, feelings.

All this is set to music.

Ten songs for about twenty minutes that sound like Jovanotti from a lyrical point of view, a bit of a singer-songwriter who explores the past (Clean it’s Ligabue!), a bit Cremonini in the melodies, the urban and the rap (Ok bye), Italian pop, pop-country (What’s in your eyes – Go) and also the Celtic version of Coldplay (But I know he was in love).

Alfa is a world, it is the world and the colors of generation Z.
If young people were all like him we could think of a better future!
