For many singer-songwriters who have had success with their debut album, all the insecurities and fears appear like tsunami when they release their second album. This wasn't the case of L eo Rizzi, who, on the contrary, feels more confident, more prepared and ready to show that he has everything to make songs as relevant as those on his first production.

“Yes, there was some pressure, but on this second [album] I feel a little more freed from doing what I want to do,” Leo said last week just the night before “The beauty of flowers” was released on the market , the album in question. “And also with the experience of having made a record.”

That first album was “Pájaro azul”, which he released in 2024 and which is inspired by the story “El pájaro azul” by poet Rubén Darío. That production featured with collaborations by Zahara, Patty Cantú, Gus and Danny Lux.

It can be said that “The Beauty of Flowers” is a somewhat more alternative album because, among other characteristics, it has as guests three singers who have stood out in the independent scene. They are Santi Balmes, from the band Love of Lesbian, Violeta Hódar, known for her participation in the reality Operación Triunfo in Spain, and Manu Om, an artist focused on devotional and spiritual music.

In addition, it has as its guiding thread a phrase by Byung-Chul Han, a prominent South Korean philosopher and essayist, based in Germany, recognized for his criticism of neoliberal capitalism, technology, and the “society of fatigue.”

“Everything is born from the phrase that is the beauty of the flowers,” said Leo. “It is due to a luxury that is free from the whole economy, and that phrase can be explained for all sides; that is, I think that everything has come from there.”

Leo, born in Ibiza, Spain, but raised between Spain and Uruguay, describes this album as poetic, contemplative and somewhat thought of a product that goes against the current of what's made in a hurry, only to get attention.

And, on the other hand, it is a reflection of an emotional stage that the singer is going through.

“In the end love is what the whole album comes talking about,” he said. “In this course of making this album I’ve found love […], a love that goes beyond what even romantic love can be.”

One of the themes that Leo released before releasing the album, and that is related to his mood state, is “Swollen heart”, a song that He acknowledged never thought he could write because he always thought that deep and true love was impossible to exist.

“Somehow I catch writing this, and it's strange for me too,” he said, “I mean, I've never written like that way, but when you feel it, well, it's that way.”
