Italian singer-songwriter Paola Turci is returning with a new studio album, titled Amore a dismisura, which will debut exclusively on physical media rather than streaming platforms. The project, distributed by BMG, arrives on October 2, 2026, and features ten tracks built on collaborations with writers including Motta, Giuseppe Anastasi, Veronica Lucchesi, and Francesco Bianconi.
Paola Turci Returns With Physical-Only Album After Seven-Year Gap
The new release marks Turci’s first full-length studio effort since 2017’s Il secondo cuore, though she spent the intervening years supervising other projects and co-writing material. Turci spent a year and a half refining the tracks without commercial pressure. The album’s physical-only release strategy bypasses digital streaming services entirely upon launch. Turci will support the release with instore signings in Rome on October 6 and Milan on October 7, followed by full-band live shows at Milan’s Santeria Toscana 31 on November 29 and Rome’s Largo Venue on December 3.
Collaborations and Themes in Amore a Dismisura
The album explores themes of passion, dependency, and emotional fragility across tracks shaped by multiple guest writers. Veronica Lucchesi of La Rappresentante di Lista contributes to the track “Vita mia,” while Motta co-wrote “È tutto bellissimo,” and Francesco Bianconi penned the song “Miss,” which addresses the topic of femicide and an abused body left in a city sconsacrata. Turci also collaborated with 26-year-old Palestinian psycho-oncologist Farah Fatafta on the track “Gesù di Michelangelo,” incorporating an Arabic prayer for peace following Turci’s November visit to Bethlehem with the association Soleterre.
Turci Addresses Her Separation and Violence Against Women
In a song on the album, Turci includes the line, “ho smesso l’abito da sposa e quando poi mi sono arresa non ho avuto paura”, which appears to allude to her recent separation from Francesca Pascale. Addressing broader societal issues, Turci notes that the problem of violence against women is deeply rooted and cultural, requiring action from schools and families. Discussing the track “Che Noia Mi Fai” and its reference to Ulysses as a siren’s dueter, Turci considers whether the modern man is weak or an ally, pointing to her work with organizations like Casa delle Donne and Una Nessuna Centomila where allied men stand side by side. When asked about freedom and happiness, Turci views freedom not as happiness, but as commitment and participation. During her journey in Bethlehem with Soleterre, Turci performed with a choir of about 60 displaced Palestinian children who sang in Italian, and met founder Damiano Rizzi alongside Farah Fatafta, whose pediatric psycho-oncology teams also operate at Gaza’s Nasser Hospital.
