Alaska Baby is the eighth studio album by Italian singer-songwriter Cesare Cremonini, released by Universal Music Italy and EMI on 29 November 2024.
[8][9] Cremonini recounted the meaning of the project and its conception in an interview with Billboard Italia:[10]"I found out what I wanted to do with Alaska Baby as I went along, during its making.
[12] Gianni Sibilla of Rockol described the album as "an opera", in which the songs "play with structures, sounds, and genres, moving from orchestral pop to electronica with everything in between", and addresses "metaphorically the search for self and rebirth", finding the collaborations to be "spiritual".
[13] Gianmarco Aimi of Rolling Stone Italia wrote that the album "explores themes such as rebirth, the courage to love, and the desire to go beyond one's limits" with sounds of "brit pop, songwriting, Beck-like hypnotic grooves, and refrains that pay homage to The Beatles", appreciating the choice of collaborations.
[14] Gianni Poglio of Panorama stated that the album holds together "the groove attitude, electronics and reminiscences of the 1970s” believing that it “effectively portrays the craft of being an artist".
