Poké melodrama is the debut studio album by Italian singer Angelina Mango. It was released on 31 May 2024 through Warner Music Italia.[1][2] The album includes guest vocals by Marco Mengoni, Bresh, Dani Faiv, and VillaBanks.
The album includes the hit single "Che t'o dico a fa'" and the Sanremo-winning entry "La noia", both certified double platinum in Italy.
Critics recepiton[edit]
Poké melodrama received generally favorable reviews from Italian music critics.[3][4]
Gianni Sibilla of Rockol associated the album with the word “heterogeneity” because “she goes from one musical genre to another, often combining them and mixing them until they become one.” Although the journalist believed that the singer manages “to attend all these genres with a remarkable naturalness,” demonstrating “a very strong musical personality and an immediate recognizability,” he stated that in the future the artist “will have to make choices, turn her music into dish with less flavors, but stronger and even more defined.”[5]
Claudio Tudesco of Rolling Stone Italia wrote that the project “hints at the possibility that Italian pop can be made in a slightly different way than usual” associating it with a coming-of-age novel in the lyrics that deal with “typical teenage headshots, a life to be understood and invented.” However, he found a “heap of authors and producers,” not feeling Mango's talent was enhanced in the collaborations, stating that “if they had pushed the accelerator on the search for a more original sound by putting a couple of less pieces, Poké Melodrama would have been better than it is.”[6]
