Materia (Terra) (transl. Material: Ground) is the sixth studio album by Italian singer-songwriter Marco Mengoni, released by Sony Music Italy on 3 December 2021 as the first part of the trilogy, Materia, consisting of three separately-released parts: Terra, Pelle, and Prisma. Each part revolves around one of the album's central themes of the artist's personal musical journey throughout his career.

Background and development

[edit]

The album consists of eleven songs and is the first chapter of a trilogy following the various sounds that have influenced the artistry of Mengoni.[2]

The singer describes the concept and theme of the album, "I chose to name the album Materia, Terra because, in the last couple of years, I took the time to reflect, to reassess and see where I head from here, going back to my roots and early inspirations of my music [...] Also, My mother is a great listener of Afro-American/soul/gospel/R'n'B music and since I was a child those sounds have accompanied me [...] as well as drawing influences from my idols like John Lennon and The Rolling Stones."[3][4]
