Materia (Terra)

Materia (Terra) 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
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.

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."
