“Love does not follow logic,” sings Marco Mengoni on the life-affirming “L’essenziale”. But that doesn’t stop the Italian singer-songwriter from exploring its many faces throughout his work. On the piano-led “Esseri umani”, love means placing faith in his fellow human. Love is unadulterated adulation on “Come neve”, a shimmering duet with Giorgia—while on “Bellissimo”, it is a beautiful but fleeting mirage.
