Re matto (Italian: [ˈre mˈmatto]; English: "Mad king") is the second studio EP by Italian singer Marco Mengoni. In Italy the album sold more than 82.000 copies and received double platinum certification from the Federation of the Italian Music Industry.
The first single taken from the album was "Credimi ancora". The song ranked 3rd in the 60th Sanremo Music Festival and debuted at number 3 on the Italian Singles Chart.
The other singles from the album were "Stanco (Deeper Inside)", released in May 2011, and the ballad "In un giorno qualunque", released on 1 October 2010.
In October 2010, Mengoni explained the reason why he decided to title his album Re matto (in English, "Crazy king"):
King because, when you participate in a talent show they put you on a pedestal, even if when you go back home you realize that you didn't change and that you don't have a crown on your head. Crazy is the word that I hope will follow me for my whole life: crazy people are the most free existing beings.
The album was recorded in early 2010, immediately after the release of the first album by Mengoni, "Dove si vola". It was produced by Stefano Calabrese, Stella Fabiani, Marco Mengoni and Gianluca Vaccaro for "Cantieri Musicali".
The album features songs with different musical styles: "Credimi ancora" is a symphonic rock song, while "Questa notte" and "In un giorno qualunque" are typical Italian-style pop ballads. Other tracks are influenced by dance music, such as "Fino a ieri", while the second single, "Stanco (Deeper Inside)" has been described by critics as a pop-house song. Moreover, the Italian critic Mario Luzzatto Fegiz wrote that in "Re matto" Mengoni sometimes calls to mind David Bowie and Lou Reed.
