Emma Nolde: the new single “What must be will be”

It comes out Friday 21 November “What must be will be”the new single from Emma Nolde. After the publication of “Sirene (with Brunori Sas) – Live” for the album’s anniversary “NUOVOSPACIOTEMPO”Emma places in this new single the lucid reflection of those who, going through their twenties, question themselves on what trajectory they want to give to their life, avoiding the deception of having to forever believe in those ideas that over time we have elevated to absolute axioms. Ultimately, the most beautiful and complex thing to achieve is being able to accept the unpredictability of what happens to us. He tells the new piece like this:

“For me and many like me, the most complicated thing is not to complicate. So I started from an image that I read in a book by Chandra Livia Candiani to write a song in which the drums are straight and the words are words that we eata simplicity that does not aim to amaze at all costs. At the end of the year we start making the usual lists of distant promises. We always promise ourselves impossible things, like reading forty-seven books in a year, going back to playing sports, enrolling in some courses and so on. All things that they make us feel right with others, but not necessarily in the place where we would like to be. This song is a letter to myself, where I encourage myself to face the hardest thing of all: accepting that I don’t have a list of goals. It’s strange to treat ourselves like companies doing year-end reports. The further we go, the more important it will be to stop competing with machines and instead play the game of human beings. A machine without a command doesn’t work, we do. We function even without all these constraints and perhaps we are better off. We need to accept that we cannot predict or control everything.”

The cover of the single, as well as the official video clip which will be available from Friday 21 Novemberportray Emma take up her faithful electric guitar, a Leonardo Baritone that has accompanied her in the studio and on tour for yearswith her hair loose and disheveled by the unpredictable restlessness of the wind. A visual contrast between what is firm in the grip of his fingers and everything that is not, escapes all control and manifests itself indomitable on stage. The song was announced on social media with a reel which recalls the words of an interview with Alessandro Baricco “a good amount of your chances of staying on planet Earth with happiness are based on your ability to let things go”, and it comes almost as natural response to a year of great acclaim and satisfaction. We will see, in fact, Emma Nolde close the Milan Music Week at the official closing party of Sunday 23 November at the Dazio di Levante (Arco della Pace) and receive the prize as Performer of the Year to the Billboard Women In Music 2025 Of Tuesday 25 November.
