After making us discover his more emotional and nostalgic side with photo, October returns with a courageous and original experiment, which unites two apparently distant worlds: the cover of Obsession (Thamsanqa / TheOrchard), the song with which Samurai Jay took part in Sanremo Festival 2026which will be available in all digital stores starting Friday 26 June.
With extreme audacity, October thus he takes a song born and raised in the urban, pop and sentimental world to forcefully drag it into a totally distorted, violent and visceral dimension.
And so what was originally an intimate and tormented story about the dynamics of an absorbing relationship, dominated by soft and fluctuating urban sounds, is transformed in this new version into a real liberating screamin which the very concept of love addiction changes its skin to become anger, pure energy And devastating sound impact.
October in fact amplifies the desperation and toxicity intrinsic to the song, replacing the synths and drum machines with granite riffs, overwhelming drums and a vocal performance that continually oscillates between scratched lines and melodic openings.
Thanks to the idea of ”obsession”, understood as a fixed thought that wears out and consumes from within, the attitude of the street thus meets the fury of metal, demonstrating that there are worlds that are only apparently very distant from each other.
