The new album
Of love, failure and other dance steps comes out October 9, 2026. The disc is available for pre-order in the standard version and in Picture Disc.
The choral cover
As with previous works, Levant he built the cover around a specific color: orange. A color which, explains the artist, did not guide the writing immediately, but imposed itself along the way:
“As the months passed I realized that it was an orange light flashing on my words, like a traffic light warning, a life preserver in the middle of the sea, a life jacket. In fact, orange is an emblem of detention, warning or protection. It is the color of solar ascent, descent and combustion, a symbol of maturation and harvest, of the rusty autumn moon, of assimilation and realization. Its heat indicates the most violent, drastic and sudden transformations of nature and the psyche: the fire that burns in the woods, the explosion of a volcano, the nuclear explosion.”
The real novelty, compared to previous covers, is the choice not to be alone in the shot. In the image Levant she is surrounded by the people who are part of her personal and professional life: among them the press secretary Elena Tosithe manager Pietro Camonchia And Luisa Neri by Warner Music Italy. A change in posture that the artist describes like this:
“The next step was to stop seeing myself sitting, because in my hermitage, between study, solitude, search for the self, I had changed my posture. I no longer felt bent over or bent over or in need of resting my legs. I imagined the tip of a human pyramid, made up of loves, lovers, friends, strangers, and yet all dancers like me, dancing love as best they can.”

Meaning of the project
The title of the album already contains the underlying theme: failure as a necessary and recurring part of the love journey, rather than as an exception to be hidden. It is the same core explored in the manifesto piece The failure of love and taken up, from another perspective, in It's youthe song taken to Sanremo 2026. The lyrics and complete meaning of It's you are available in the dedicated in-depth section: Levante at Sanremo 2026 with Sei tu: lyrics and meaning.
