Rose Villain, Italian pop star with an international vision

In Italy we are Too often used to pitchfall Not only the artists, but also the songs. We filter everything through genres, labels, sound. “That’s trap, that is rock, that is pop etc.” Then at a certain point comes one like Rose Villain who not only mixes the cards, but overturns the table.

American

He does it with personality, with taste, with the healthy “presumption” of wanting to do as much things as possible, indeed very well, to the maximum of its potential. And in this it is probably the Italian pop star, escaped in recent years, with the most international vision we havebecause he is not satisfied, he plays with genres, loves to displace and bypass the limits. Rabpa, sings, writes for himself, for the others, he is from God on stage, he dives inside “Mutants sound”his real trademark, “Click boom!” It is an example of a striking success, and often makes basket from far away. You can see that it was formed in the United States where to be and do “many things” is not a limit, but a virtue on an artistic level. “My condemnation? Not having a single musical genre, but it is a beautiful condemnation, “says Rose. “Radio Vega”, his new album to be released on March 14, is the closure of a circle, of a trilogy, and looks like another window overlooking the world of roses Where Urban, pop, songwriting, soundtracks, Lo-Fi Rock coexist in peace, as in an ideal Platonic Republic of music. The red thread? It’s her: Rosa Luini.

Three sisters

“Radio Vega” is more than enjoyable, it is a journey from the many faces. He crushes play and lets himself go. This does not mean that the project is all very successfulsome songs do not fully pierce, they move on tracks already a little traveled and known, unable to totally conquer the listener. But as a whole “Radio Vega” tries to fly higher than the “Radio Gotham” sisters of 2023 and “Radio Sakura” of 2024. On the sound front still ranges a lot, yes, but it has two more marked coordinates, two well -defined and focus strands: There is a more emotional and dark side, Where Rose stands out to the maximum and we hope it can dedicate an entire disc in the future, and another more colorful and lively. She calls him “a cosmic journey”. The constellation of the lira, illuminated by the splendid Vega star, is not only a point of reference in the sky, but it is above all a symbol of the love suffered between Euridice and Orpheuswho will bring the latter, after the death of his beloved, to pass all his life to play sad songs. As a reflection “Radio Vega” is a personal and musical “research” album, and feeling. There are 13 songs, under the artistic direction of Sixpmproducer and husband of Rose, who complete the trilogy radio that will also be presented live with a summer tour and then in the buildings.

Song for song

The disc opens with “The kiss of the snake” with Gué. The two, as demonstrated by the many hits made together, are more than a duo, they are a thunder. The intro is sumptuous, then it is lost a bit, but is rewarded by the announcement of a joint album in 2026, revealed in Gué’s bars. “Millionaire” speaks of revenge, it seems the soundtrack of a manga or a cartoon in an urban key, while “No okay” It is a club pezzone built together with Launch: “And I told you, you thought I was an angel, but I have a uzi in the drawer,” Rabpa Rose. “Still” with Geolier It has an interesting start thanks to the acoustic guitar, in the DIY version, then it is standardized a bit to allow the entry of the Neapolitan rapper. “Music to forget“In the first moments, he has an electronics spit out of the” Drive “soundtrack, a 2011 film directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, then becomes a more scaled piece, in the 80s style. He has several souls: the stamp of Villain’s music. “Patrick Bateman“He is a character created by the fantasy of the Californian writer Bret Easton Ellis, protagonist of the novel” American Psycho “and his subsequent film transposition. This song also changes skin, between whispered parts, open and warmer moments.

“Lacrimogens ”with Chiello It is one of the precious stones of the disc: a song to be singing at the top of the live in the live, melancholy and dirty with a soundtrack ending of the “Wizard of Oz”. “Out of the outlaw”, Presented at the Sanremo Festival, it is another changing piece, while “Bop” It is the perfect ground for Fabri Fibrabetween irony and groove. With “Smith & Wesson” And “You know” We return in depth, between love, complicity, insecurities and darker atmospheres. The latter, guitar and voice, dedicated to her husband, in its simplicity is another of the strongest pieces of the project. “WTF” He has more soul-jazz colors, between the cit by Luigi Tenco and Tiziano Ferro, while “Love is a serial killer “in whose text they evoke Mick Jagger, Kanye West and Johnny Cash, is a more crooked piece at the production level that closes the circle.
