Giorgia: “A single written by Calcutta” is coming

A Sold out summer tour, A new single – “coup” – out in September. An unpublished album scheduled for autumn, an appointment in the buildingsthe only women’s artist present in the top30 of the most listened to Italian artists in the world in this first half of 2025. So Giorgia celebrates 30 years from the Sanremo Festival who consecrated her with “As I know”. Nine appointments – which initially had to be only three – with “As I would know Live 2025”which made a stop at the Greek theater in Syracuse with three sold outs – 25, 26 and 28 July – and which will close in September at the Royal Palace of Caserta.

“It was an unexpected year, a gift that I am receiving. Behind there is a great job of people who believe it and have believed in it even more than me. At the beginning of my career I was very rigid, I showed a security that did not reflect my interiority“The Roman singer confesses during the meeting with journalists before the last performance in Syracuse.” I let myself be guided by the instinct that covered all the voids, but at a certain point I wondered if my place was still in today’s music scene. The answer was affirmative, but behind the result there is a lot of loosening. To reach it you have to work and be careful of everything that happens, know the music and respect it“.

Sanremo 2025

Talking about Giorgia’s last year also means returning to the last Sanremo. “Sanremo involves an emotional part difficult to manage, especially for me, because that stage brings me back to many memories. I live the race well, I know it is an important moment for the song and I am aware that I have won the most important race, the one with myself. The crying of the last evening was the summary of a life, of thirty years of career. It was the tears that I did not pay when I won, “adds Giorgia, to whom I would like to be able to enter, one day, in the artistic direction of the Festival.

The new single “Golpe”

One of the lessons that Giorgia learned this year? Knowing how to entrust. And he did it during the studio work for the new single, “Golpe”, written by Calcutta with the production of Dardust. “I wanted a piece like this, but I didn’t know what the result would be. The work I did in this year was to get back into play in vocality, trying to be myself but different.” An act of humility, For an artist who in thirty years of age has collected Pressi and dizzying numbers, especially against herself. “I like to get back to studying, my nerd vein comes out“, He jokes without hiding the difficulties.“ There were also difficult moments, some passages were forced. I learned to make myself transported from the pieces, to move the focus more to the words than on the notes“.

The new album

Today Giorgia rediscovers a freedom he believed he had lost, but does not speak of “a point of arrival”, on the contrary. “This job must always be a becoming, so my parents raised me, since I was a chorister with my father“. A sense of responsibility that, especially after Sanremo, makes itself felt stronger.“ It is always difficult to build a new path. ‘The cure for me’ came at a time when the work on the new album had already started. A project – anticipated by the individual ‘Nothing bad’, ‘The cure for me’, ‘the only’ and ‘coup’ – in which I worked a lot to interpret songs written by others “. Zero spoiler on possible featuring, even if having answered “Marracash” to the question “Who would you like to have as a surprise guest during a live?” He bodes well in a collaboration between the twowho have already crossed their voices in Lucé’s last album.

Live 2026

And talking about the new album, curiosity about the New tour that will arrive in the Palasport from November And which already counts eight sold out dates and three new entries scheduled in Bari, Milan and Padua. “It will be a show built musically and scenically – reveals the singer – different from the summer one that I brought to the most theatrical locations, but I have already warned everyone that I don’t want to fly or similar things “. For the occasion on stage with her he will return, next to the historic drummer of Prince Sonny T, also the guitarist Mike Scott, currently busy on tour with Justin Timberlake.

Live at the Greek Theater in Syracuse

Telephones get up to take up and fans to blow the heat away. Thus begins, at 9.15 pm, the second live of Giorgia in Syracuse. A show that fits well in the frame of the Greek theater with a basic scenography with five doors illuminated by colored LEDs and musicians – Diana Winter (voice and guitar), Andrea Faustini (Voice), Fabio Visocchi (Keyboard), Gianluca Ballarin (Piano, Keyboards, Programming and Music Directorate), Myus Johnson (Drums), Sonny T (bass, guitar) and the string quartet formed by Caterina Coco, Alessio Cavalazzi, Matteo Lipari, Valentina Sgarbossa Valentina Sgarbossa – in semicircle like the choir at the time of Aeschylus and Euripides.

In the center she, which starts the live on the notes of “As I know” and which comes all in one breath in the middle of the ladder crossing famous songs, latest releases and international goodies and also allowing a few dance steps On some more unleashed pieces like “really live”, “free spirit”, during which it launches into a Moonwalk, “my best day” and “We found love”, piece of Rihanna and Calvin Harris performed in full disc style. Three changes of outfit – total black, cream and bright red – and a time to celebrate the music of thirty years ago With “Waters Runs Dry”, “Paradiso destination”, “Exhale” by Whitney Houston, “Bombastic” and “If you want me”, dedicated to Alessandro Daniele, son of Pino, present among the public.

Space also to fans with a stage invasion that seems not to annoy the singer, who indeed welcomes with smile those who offer them signs and bouquets of flowers for “Sunflower”, children looking for an autograph or a selfie and who even focuses on a marriage proposal made during “sun and blue”. They are “diamonds”, soundtrack of the Özpetek film of the same name, and “I among many”, the songs with which Giorgia leaves the sceneperhaps a little too hastily, so much so as to leave a part of the audience with a bitterness in the mouth. But after all you know, your favorite artist never has enough.

Scaletta:
As I know
And there is still sea
I would like an hour
The sky in a room
Sunflower
Memory drops
Really live
Oroner
Of sun and blue
And then
The only one
Star
Free spirit + the FEEL for you
Water Runs Dry
If you want me
Paradise destination
Exhale
Bombastic
Like snow
Medley: to do without you – infinite times – strange my destiny
You bring me up
My best day
The cure for me
Diamonds
I among many
