The story behind

In Dobbiamo inventare qualcosa the rhythm never stops: it kicks off with a beat that feels like it's straight out of an 80s New York club, but with an unexpected twist. The track is built on a foundation of funk and percussion that bounces between organic and electronic, as if someone had blended a live jam session with a vintage sampler. What stands out most is that melodic bridge that appears halfway through, where the guitar and keyboards weave a dialogue that doesn’t sound like a calculated composition, but rather something invented on the spot. It’s the kind of detail that makes you feel, when listening, that you’re in front of a track that breathes on its own.

The song is part of a pivotal moment in Jovanotti’s career: after several albums where rap and dance-pop dominated, here he explores more organic sounds, drawing influences ranging from ska to arrangements reminiscent of world music. Recorded in 1998, it appears on an album where the artist begins to move away from the synthetic shine of his early days to delve into more reflective lyrics, though without losing that infectious groove. The title, which in Italian sounds like a call to action (“We have to invent something”), perfectly captures the spirit of reinvention that pulses through every note.
