Achille Lauro: “The new album? It is inspired by the great songwriters “
Achille Lauro He transforms himself again, or better yet: he pulls a red thread with which he tries to tie all his career. From trap to rock, passing through pop up to Cantiutorate, the world that today feels closer to you. A universe that will lead toAriston of Sanremo.
A songwriter album
“Since 2021 I have not made an album, I have worked a lot on music in recent years – he explains in a meeting with the media – ‘1969’ was an important album, released in 2019, then in 2020 I published three different projects that told a century at a musical level. I grew up with the songwriter, the music I am writing rereads that world, lets himself be inspired by the great songwriters. My new album, which includes ‘Desperate Love’ and the song Sanremo ‘Inconscious Young’, will be released before the summer. It will be a very rich 2025 because another album, experimental, linked to the Foundation ‘boys mother‘that helps guys in difficulty. ”
The new project I will be presented with a double concert At the Circus Maximus of Rome: June 29 and July 1st, these are given them. But where is “young unconscious”? “I changed 500 genres, I’m a crazy horse. My first career job was a mixtape, ‘Barabba Mixtape’, a cry of despair of vacuum sick boys. Here, there is a red thread that passes from there for everything I have done and arrives today, I have always talked about souls on the margins – he continues – ‘unconscious young’ speaks of my story. Of tormented young people, who grew up at the edges. It is a dedication to those who grew like me and me. In the center there is a little girl. It could be my great love, it could be my mother, I could be me. This girl does not feel loved. ”
Personal story and authors
In telling his new songs, Lauro speaks of “personal songs”. “Desperate love” was written with Federica Abbate and Olly, while “young people young” sees Davide Simonetta, Paolo Antonacci, Simon Pietro Manzari, Gregori Calculli, Matteo Ciceroni, Daniele Nelli, accredited. What is the border between personal journey and team work? “99% of my songs I wrote – argues – it happened that they are credited authors for two words suggested by joke Because I love sharing. You feel that they are my songsin the settings, in feelings. I don’t think I am a great interpreter, it is perceived that they are my pieces. ”
No gossip
Dodged questions about gossip, about Fedez and Chiara Ferragniputting music at the center. “I try to leave gossip to those who are only to be able to live. I live alienated by all this. There is a lot of talk of violence against women and this way of telling certain stories is not very different, “he underlines. For the fourth time competing on the Ariston stage, plus the performances of 2021 where, outside the competition, as a guest he reproduced “paintings” by staging artistic representations, Achille Lauro, to this tour, wants to bring yet another new version of himself: “This is a different Sanremo. I go back to a different guise. I never wanted to amaze others, but first of all myself. In thinking about my performances, I was inspired by the great rock stars of the 70s. This time the common thread will be elegance “. And the relationship with Boss Doms, his historic shoulder? “I never discussed with Doms. He is a visionary genius. We work together again ”, thinks all doubts.
All the Sanremo di Lauro
Lauro’s story is now closely linked to that of the Festival in which, Thanks to Nick Cerioni’s work, he also left his mark from a visual point of view. In 2019 he participated from outsider with “Rolls Royce”redesigning itself at the sound and stylistic level, passing From a trap world to a more rock. It was a success. The participation of 2020 then followed, the one with “I don’t care”accompanied by Various changes of outfits who caught the various evenings. In 2021 he was then a guest performing with five performances associated with five “paintings”. The return to the race, then, in 2022, with “Sunday”but he could not stand as in the past. In this edition of the Festival he returns to the race on the wave of a strengthened popularity thanks to X Factor, where he played the role of the judge. “What I have done in Sanremo in these years was me. I read comments of the ‘type’ is just a marketing product ‘. It’s not like that, it’s work, they are sleepless nights to think about performance, “he replies.
The evening of the covers
In the evening of the covers, as allowed this year, he chose to duet with another participant. It is Elodie. Together they will sing and pay homage to “Gradually” by Riccardo Cocciante and “Folle Town” by Loredana Bertè. “We will pay homage to Rome. I wanted to duet with Elodie for years. She is not just a singer, she is an artist who lives what he says. I chose ‘gradually’, a song by Cocciante, in the version of Gaetano, because it is the symbol of my adolescence – he concludes – Rino attended Roma I know and who lived. Elodie has chosen the piece of Loredana and is perfect because it talks about a crazy city that you love And from which you cannot escape ”.
