"Anche fragile" is a song by Italian singer Elisa, released through Universal on January 17, 2019, as the second single from her tenth studio album Diari aperti.[1]
Composition
[edit]The song, written and composed by Elisa herself, is the main track on the album Diari aperti, emphasizing the singer's dual personality of "strong" but also " vulnerable" depending on life circumstances. Excerpts of stanzas from the lyrics appear on the album cover.[2][3]
In the re-release of the album under the title Diari aperti (segreti svelati), the song was performed in collaboration with Brunori Sas.
Critics' reception
[edit]Simone Zani of AllMusic Italia described the song as "a powerful ballad with introspective lyrics".[4] Reviewing the album, Mattia Marzi of Rockol defined the tracks "Anche fragile" and "Promettimi" as "sung in a whisper, almost whispered voice" and musically "accompanied by soft and elegant sounds".[5] Mattia Barro of Rolling Stone Italia wrote that the production of the song "grants entire attention to the intimacy of these lyrics".[6]
Music video
[edit]The music video for the song was released on YouTube on 28 February 2018, to accompany the single's release.[7] The video was directed by the duo YouNuts!, at the Bellinzaghi villa in Cernobbio, on Lake Como. The singer performed the song surrounded by images and cameo of her family: her husband Andrea Rigonat and children Emma Cecile and Sebastian.[8]
