E poi siamo finiti nel vortice

The album consists of twelve tracks, written by Annalisa herself with several authors and producers, including Davide Simonetta, Alessandro Raina, Paolo Antonacci, Zef, Room9, Placido Salamone, and Raffaele Esposito. In an interview with Rockol, Annalisa explained the creative process following the release of her seventh studio album and the meaning of the new album:"I worked differently, that is, by subtraction, taking away constructions, preconceptions and superstructures, I wanted to go to the root. ... There were three factors. The first: when I started making music I felt the need to be known. I wanted to be understood. I didn't think I was putting myself in the service of entertainment. After Nuda I realized that I also wanted something else. From there my 'transformations' were born. The second factor is being able to identify the two sides that I love most and that work on me and for me: vocals and electronics. The third factor: what happened outside. Where the world moves, the historical period: everything contributed. People wanted this change of pace, the time was ripe for it."The singer explicated the meaning of the album's title, defined as "metaphorical" about the different phases of life identified in the "vortex", in which "enthusiasm is represented, there are disappointments, things that change, twists and turns, an ending. And then you start again." From a music direction viewpoint, Annalisa said she was inspired by electropop and 1980s music. ==Promotion and release==

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Annalisa discussed her motivation for choosing these three singles, designed as a musical and visual trilogy:"I have tried, with the songs, to identify the various phases of these cycles: in "", I identify in the unexpected a decisive moment of all paths, the moment when you ask yourself questions about why what you had hoped for did not happen. In "", I talk about the desire for revenge and to take a freedom you had forgotten, and in "", I address the desire to relearn how to be with yourself. Each song describes an emotional phase" "" was released as the fourth single from the album on 17 November 2023.

Claudio Cabona of Rockol described the album as having a "mainly electronic and enveloping sound, with lots of references to the 1980s and some sprinklings of the 1960s" with references to Nada, Raffaella Carrà, and Donatella Rettore, resulting in "extremely fun, self-deprecating and danceable". In the review, the album is described as "true and believable", as it "speaks the language of these times, in every respect", with the tracks' goal of "making the listener's days less bitter. Sometimes you forget that, but that really should be the essence of pop." Among the tracks, he says "Stelle" is the best song "from the point of view of the balance between lyrics and music", and "Indaco violento" is "the symbolic piece of the project". For the same site, Mattia Marzi wrote that the singer in the project appears "sexy, unprejudiced and ironic as never before" but without "pulling a new Beyoncé", as she sings in the tracks "with a fresh, pop, empathetic and even funny manner". Ondarock's writer Claudio Fabretti called "a perfectly contemporary record", in which the singer enacts an "irreversible transformation" toward an "electropop turn", and that "[19]80s electronica" goes well with "the shadowy, restless mezzo-soprano". On the album he found that "bolder lyrical flutters" alternated with "teenage TikTok withdrawal slips", calling the latter choice an attempted "update to the two-thousand of the old italo disco", although it "does not always appear able to fill it with content up to the mark". Fabrietti wrote that the album as a whole shows an Annalisa "no longer a pretentious intimate singer-songwriter but not yet fully comfortable in the role of femme fatale to be whipped around the dance floor", hoping that "she can rediscover that elegant singer-songwriter ambition and taste for Mina-like refinement that, after all, she has always sought. And, to quote '', 'I'm in'." == Track listing ==
