To accompany the release of Living In Between and delve even deeper into his musical imagination, we asked Daniele to put himself on the other side of the listening.
What are the songs that have inspired, moved or accompanied you over time? The result is an essential and personal playlist: five songs that tell the story of tastes, influences and fragments of his artistic journey.
“Rock with You” by Michael Jackson
“Rock with You” It's the Michael Jackson song that marked my childhood. Written by Rod Temperton, however, it contains all the elements of this artist's musicality that made me love him: the groove grafted onto the vocals, capable of keeping the softness intact. An absolute reference.
“Vision of Love” by Mariah Carey
“Vision of Love” by Mariah Carey, her first single, was celebrated by many for transforming the conception of what previously seemed impossible for a voice in pop.
For me, though, it has a special meaning for the message of gratitude and love towards something greater: a song of celebration of faith in a dream. His voice in this song is the synthesis of something that for me is both vocal and spiritual; he uses all the registers as if he wanted to open a channel to the sky.
“Grace” by Jeff Buckley
“Grace” by Jeff Buckley is a musical journey that passes through and tells the story of the soul of an angel.
There is something extremely complex in the construction of the arrangement, but what remains imprinted is the sensation of a humanity that unfolds freely, between the delicacy and the liberating force of a courageous voice.
“Ode to My Family” by The Cranberries
“Ode to My Family” by The Cranberries is a song that preserves the purity of Dolores O'Riordan's voice and a musical universe evocative of a nature and a land that breathe feelings deeply rooted in memory and family.
“Perfect” by Alanis Morissette
“Perfect” by Alanis Morissette is a song that contains a naked and very powerful emotion and which, like the entire Jagged Little Pill album, connects to a fundamental part of my life, sentimental and family.
Alanis's voice telling this story is for me an expression of a very strong freedom and inner truth.
