The “Livore cake” of Levante has the good flavor of the return
The irony is a wave, it must be ridden with elegance and taste, or risks sinking. Levante, at different times of his career, has been able to surfing her with brilliance, as it also reminds us “Alfonso”one of the most loved songs of the Sicilian singer -songwriterwritten at the beginning of his path. “Alfonso, best wishes but I don’t know you” it seems, for a game of temporal mirrors, to speak to today, taking us to that “Livor cake” What Levante has just churned out. In “Maimai”, the single that marks his return, in fact, there is a hilarious bitter smile, but also a declaration of independencea theme very dear to Claudia Lagona.
“Futura opera”, his latest album, released in 2023is a record full of dense songs related to motherhood, memories, tomorrow and freedom, a look in the mirror without filters. With “Maimai” Levante wants to be light like a butterfly, but sting like a bee, starting from a contagious rhythm and a game: In the launch video you see you who, at the time of the fateful “yes” at the wedding, says “Maimai”. The piece, just like a slice of cake, pushes to one listening after another: “You will like the cake to my livery, I delivered it to your custodianI wrote Happy Birthday Maimai with my heart ”. And again: “I called the dog with your name”. But it is not a revenge song like any other, against an ex and that’s it, it is an act of love towards oneself, a declaration of self -determination. The most significant step of the song, not surprisingly, is “And my love I need, finally I am. My love yes, I am”. There is also an official clip of the individual, directed by Giacomo Triglia, who sees the Italian actor next to the east Jozef Gjura who recently played the character of a Garibaldian Sabaudo in the film “Il Gattopardo”.
In that “I’m fine only if you never come back” it seems to hear the words of “Valvonauta” of the Verdena. The singer -songwriter says it clearly and with a little pepper: sometimes we can be enough, we must learn primarily to love ourselves. But this does not prevent a nice scale in the one/the one with whom a relationship has closed: “The party did not end until the last slice of cake was served – says Levante – this is the right recipe to cook the most bitter dessert”. A mocking east of light overlooks the summer months with a very sparkling song, which deserves to emerge in this sea of copy-pastes.
