Levant Future work album review by Umberto Saved. “I don’t want to erase my past, because for better or for worse it made me who I am today. On the contrary, I thank those who made me discover love and pain, those who loved and used me, those who told me I love you believing it and those who did it only for their dirty conveniences. I thank myself for always finding the strength to get up and keep going, always.” Oscar Wilde Levant returns three years after the release of his latest album and does so by participating in…

I write this confused and clouded letter of love and respect and friendship from a hotel room in the Valley of the Temples in Sicily. A land that has thousands of years of history behind it and which now seems to be crumbling in the face of the news, received on WhatsApp from a now distant number, of the death of Matteo Romagnoli, friend, musician and founder of the independent label Garrincha Dischi. A message that came out of nowhere and that as a first reaction brought with it a river of tears.Having communicated the dutiful news to the members…
The art of sampling, or sampling, is pure craftsmanship. The technique, whose first hints can be seen in musique concrete in the 1940s, formalized and expanded starting in the 1980s, becoming a cornerstone of hip hop culture and production. Not a theft, but a noble and popular reuse – it is essential here to remember that those who sampled could not often afford instruments, professional studios and a whole series of technical equipment – which from the African-American community finally spread within the most disparate genres, up to to become the daily activity of producers thanks to the diffusion of…
Like Tina Turner no one ever. The rock and soul icon, who died yesterday at the age of 83, lived at least three lives: in the 60s she was a singer with a phenomenal voice and too exuberant to be compressed into the duo with her abusive ex-husband Ike; in the ’70s she was an exceptional soloist who finally took her rightful place in the pantheon of rock; in the 80’s she was an R&B and pop artist reaching even greater heights. And we haven’t even begun to account for the life and music of an unbeatable symbol of resilience…
Italy Loves Romagna. The great concert event that raised funds for the flooded populations of Romagna hit the mark both in terms of the money raised and on television where it obtained over 30.8% and 3,450,000 viewers. Over 40,000 tickets sold when the gates open (to which, for the final balance, those sold at the box office will have to be added), equal to around 1.8 million Euros which will be entirely allocated to the reconstruction, net of VAT and of SIAE rights. A heritage which, as the President said Stefano Bonaccini, your Region has been able to demonstrate that…

In the build-up to his fifth album ‘Melodies On Hiatus’, Albert Hammond Jr, by his own account, was “going through changes”. The singer-songwriter, widely known as the lead guitarist and founding member of The Strokes, had just made the move back to Los Angeles in 2021 after calling New York City home for more than two decades. He’d punctuated the pauses in between the aforementioned band’s tours and recording cycles with his own music, releasing four albums since 2006, spanning his honeyed indie debut ‘Yours To Keep’ to 2018’s ‘Francis Trouble‘, which revelled in all of Hammond Jr’s innate precise…
Tedua is back! Three years of waiting in Italian rap is a lot, Marracash summarizes the risk well in one of the many feats on the album: “Every night I think about the game / how this profession has changed / full of deadlines so as not to expire”.The record industry engulfs an already saturated market, young and hungry kids drop singles and albums every Friday chasing Spotify’s top 10 and sold out in arenas, trap-capitalist bulimia swallows, chews, spits, forgets. In this panorama Tedua represents an exception: his The divine Comedy it was announced several times, it was already…
