Mauro Ermanno Giovanardi, the new album is coming

Mauro Ermanno Giovanardi’s new album, “E poi choose carefully le parole”, will be released on March 20th on Woodworm Label. The album was preceded on January 30th by a mini EP of four songs “A tutti costi”. and the singles “Veloce” and “Anni Zero”. The musical part of the album was developed together with Leziero Rescigno, who co-signed the artistic production of the entire work, with Lele Battista on the recordings. The lyrics were written with the collaboration of various authors and musicians, including Francesco Bianconi, Colapesce, Kaballà, Alessandro Cremonesi of La Crus, Cheope and Anastasi.

Giovanardi describes the work like this:

Among those made in the last thirty years, it is my most thought about, weighed, awaited album… and also the most troubled. Inside, among its folds, there is my whole way of being and my approach to music: made of discipline, constancy, sacrifice and, at the same time, of love, respect, ethical, moral and existential sense. It is, of all things, the most existentialist record I’ve ever made. An existentialism which, however, does not allow itself to be dragged or dragged into the darkness, into the maelström of malaise, but which is faced with a certain lightness. A “thoughtful lightness”, as Calvino put it in the American Lessons.
It was a troubled project because its journey started long ago, before Covid broke out. I believe that without the pandemic it would have been a different album: it certainly would have been released at least five years ago and it would have been, to all intents and purposes, something else. During the pandemic period I decided to put it on standby to work on a new chapter of La Crus, to then resume it in 2022, close it almost completely and suspend it again to publish, in April 2024, “Protect Me From What I Want”. An outing that was an episode in our now solo journeys, and not a new restart or rebirth of the band: a beautiful and satisfying experience, which however is unlikely to have a sequel
