Confusingly named after his first hit, In te is technically NEK’s second studio album. This record saw him refining his sound. The title track became a staple of Italian summer festivals. Musically, the album leans heavily on acoustic guitars and driving bass lines, setting the template for his "rock with a heart" style.
After nearly 20 years as "NEK," he released an album under his birth name, Filippo Neviani . This was a conscious uncoupling from his pop image. The record explores jazz, blues, and swing. It is a "passion project" featuring covers of Italian classics and original pieces that sound nothing like "Cuori in tempesta." For collectors of the NEK discography, this is the outlier—an album you listen to with headphones and a glass of wine, not for a workout playlist. nek discography
