Nesli: “The reunion between me and Fabri Fibra? It would be cool “
In 2022 he announced the retreat from the scenes: «I will continue to write, proposing my songs to others. But no other albums from Nesli will be released, “he promised. Three years later, Nesli is still around.
And he continues to publish music. In the last eight months Francesco Tarducci, this is the real name of the 44 -year -old rapper from Senigallia, over 125 million views on YouTube when Spotify did not exist and music, on the net, passed there or on MTV, published three singles. The last of the series, “Oceani and Tsunami”, has just come out: it is a romantic pop ballad in the style of the rapper, who claims to have indicated the way to many, from Coez to Frah Quintale, accepting from the forerunner of that new style in Bilico between songwriting, pop and rap the risk of the company.
Was the announcement three years ago pure marketing or did something prompted you to change your mind?
«I welcome the responsibility for communication (laughs). However not, it was not marketing. In fact, it has not led me to anything ».
So what?
«It was a somewhat provocative affirmation regarding the record activity. I clearly said that no other albums in Nesli would come out. At that moment the disc object, however, seemed to have become obsolete. Of my “Nesliving vol. 4 – The bad seed ”, my record label of that time does not want to print even limited edition vinyls for fans. I wanted to pass the news of the start of the activity as an author: I had just signed a contract with Sony Publishing ».
Is the contract still in place?
“Yes. I have already placed a few pieces, like Emma’s “half world”. I also signed songs for Trigno of “Friends” and Aka7even. Others will come out. I wrote one for Loredana Bertè, for example, and made sessions also with Angelica Bove and French Saints ».
Will you publish another album or not in the future?
“We see. An EP I would not exclude it. I am the son of an era when the songs had to be collected, to take on a precise form “.
In the album of three years ago the fight against depression tells the fight, the bad seed that inspired the title of the disc. How are you today?
«Those moments of despair present themselves in milder form, but today I can give it a name. In 2021 I found myself with my ass on the ground, after a series of wrong investments and unconscious professional choices ».
Everything started with the disastrous participation in the Sanremo Festival in 2017 with “Do Retta to you”, isn’t it?
“Yes. It was a wrong choice ».
What did not work?
“It was a duet built at the table, not sincere (that year he presented himself with Alice Paba, winner of The Voice, ed.). Everyone around me saw potential. I trusted. I did badly. The 2022 album was a way to find the spark, the north of the compass. And reapperate me ».
What do you tell today in the songs?
«I try to tell a lot about others. They are less self -finished texts, in an era when narcissism triumphs in music “.
Have you tried to return to the race at the Festival this year, to make peace with that stage?
“No. I knew that with the change of artistic direction it would be a year of running -in and I wanted to understand what Aria he pulled. I would like to try next year. “
Except Shablo, Gué, Joshua and Tormento, the rapper wink at pop. In the end, did rap be incorporated by the nationalpopular?
«Needless to go around: pop is the one that makes you turn, who makes you do serious numbers, the jump of economies and status. It doesn’t surprise me ».
After all, you were the first to make a turning point. How did the scene react?
«They discussed me: I was making love songs. But today it seems to me that the rap records that work are precisely those who speak of love. And then they reproached me for the choice of melodies. But years later, when rappers want to make the jump they pull out melodic songs. I was the first after Neffa. I ferried what today is the world of Coez, Frah Quintale. Luckily there is this thing calls time: it gave me reason ».
And of the controversies on the texts of the rappers, accused of sexism and misogyny, what idea did you do?
«It’s fiction. Then the screenplays of films and TV series should also be put under the magnifying glass: they have no less influence of music on the new generations ».
Of the relationship with your brother Fabri Fibra you said: “We are like the Oasis”. In the end they gathered: is there hope also for a reunion of the Tarducci brothers, after that of the Gallagher?
“I don’t know if they did it because the money was finished.
The one between me and artistically fiber would be a strafiga reunion ».
Who should be convinced?
“For me he would not return to the ugly things of life, let’s put it this way.”
In short, fiber must be convinced.
“I don’t know him a bit. As I remember, it is not an easy one to convince ».
