Tananai’s pop looks more and more at that of the 2000s
When one year ago we listened to “poison”, the first single of the new course of the career of the Milanese singer -songwriter, we wrote – provocatively, but not so much – that Tananai had started to resemble Francesco Renga more than Tananai no longer the outdog and light -hearted underdog of the last place at the Sanremo 2022 festival with “occasional sex”, but a more classic and more traditional songwriter Programming of an Italian mid -2000 radio radio, with a plan between the “summer” of the Negramaro and the “Somewhere Only We Know” of the Keane and a démodé structure (with a refrain that arrived not after ten seconds, but after a minute and two stanzas).
A year later, Tananai continues to flirt with that mood: listening to “Alibi”, his new single, not included in the album of last autumn “.Calmocobra”, you have the feeling that The pop of Tananai look more and more at that of the 2000s. And that gets even more cinematic.
The song will be part of the soundtrack of the film “Love, in theory”By Luca Lucini, already Videoclip director such as those of “Plastic love” by Carmen Consoli, “To make love”, “Before leaving for a long journey” and “Leave it to go” by Irene Grandi and “A life as a median” by Ligabuewhich will be released in theaters on April 24, starring Nicolas Maupas (already “sea outside” star): the film will tell an intertwining of love through the eyes of the new generation. And the song, a ballad – also speaks of an intertwining of love – The choirs that are heard were recorded during the tour in the buildings and are the items of the public present at the concerts – produced by Tananai himself, who wrote it together with his right arm Paolo Antonacci (that of the Italian pop of the 2000s is in fact heir, being the son of Biagio): “You blonde like a plug beer / I black as certain cold nights / and I was you tonight I would not come to dinner / nobody knows that it has already finished / but all my double life”, singing Tananai in the text.
“I left a song. I had thought that if in love you have to find alibi then perhaps it is not. So “Alibi” was born. And this story has intertwined with the story of a film and has become its soundtrack “, says the Milanese singer -songwriter, departing with a European tour that from 3 to 28 April will see him perform between Zurich, Lugano, London, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Brussels and Paris.
