The arrival in streaming gives a new dimension to the album and thus allows a wider audience to discover one of the most visceral works of the Milanese singer-songwriter, who reaffirms his rock identity without giving up the emotional fragility that has always characterized his writing.
“Ezekiel”: when two generations find A MEETING POINT
If Dirty Masses represents the new chapter of the solo journey of Eddathe song Ezekiel today it becomes its concrete symbol thanks to the collaboration with The lover.
This is not the classic featuring built to unite two different audiences, but the meeting between two artists who share a similar expressive urgency despite belonging to different generations.
On the one hand there is Eddacentral figure of Italian alternative rock and author capable of transforming vulnerability and restlessness into musical material. On the other The loverone of the most popular singer-songwriters on the new independent scene, fresh from the release of her second album I'm not saying goodbyewhich consolidated his artistic career.
The two voices intertwine naturally, giving new depth to the piece and transforming it into a dialogue that overcomes age differences through a common interpretative intensity.
“Dirty Masses” confirms Edda's more rock side
Dirty Massesthe singer-songwriter's seventh solo album, marks a decisive return to strongly rock sounds, relying once again on the production of Luca Bossi.
The guitars occupy a central role within the album, supported by essential but incisive arrangements that leave room for the voice of Eddawhich has always been a distinctive element of his music.
The publication on digital platforms is not a simple revival of the album released last October in physical format, but a new opportunity to rediscover a work that continues to find new nuances.
Edda: An unconventional career
Behind the name Edda there is Stefano Rampoldian artist who has gone through several seasons of Italian music without ever following predictable paths. Here is the biography that he himself wrote: “I was born by chance in a happy country that perhaps never was happy. Here is my bio, I would have already finished here, because to the wise connoisseur, few words and what words.
The second important fact is that I have always loved music but music apparently doesn't love me. At a very young age I asked for a “Hit Organ Bontempi” for Christmas, then the following Christmas I received a guitar bought at Upim and at 12 I finally got a classic Giannini that my idiot brother smashed with his fist. Then when I was 14, instead of a scooter I asked for a Stratocaster with a lever. We went to the store and I came home with a Strat without a lever because I mistook the input jack on the guitar for the lever hole. So greasy with humiliation I locked myself in the house until I was 18. At that age I was part of DHG, then Ritmo Tribale arrived, a few of us had already met at school (a recovery institute for dunces with no future).
With them I made some records, many concerts and then at the age of 33 I was struck by enlightenment and on the road to Damascus I disappeared from the scene for several years. I was found again I don't know when and I started making music again, I checked Wikipedia it was 2009, now we are in 2026 and this new album is called Messe Sporche“.
Album after album, Edda he has built a language capable of blending spirituality, restlessness, irony and confession, maintaining a unique position within the Italian independent scene.
Who is The lover
Behind the project The lover there is Giorgia Pietribiasisinger-songwriter and visual artist originally from Schio. In recent years she has made herself known as one of the most interesting personalities of new songwriting thanks to intense and deeply autobiographical writing.
After his debut with In memory ofawarded by critics and finalist in the Targhe Tenco as First Work, in 2026 he published I'm not saying goodbyeconfirming an artistic growth that has also led her to share the stage with numerous protagonists of the Italian scene.
His participation in Ezekiel adds a new piece to an ever-evolving path and makes the dialogue with a historical figure like him even more significant Edda.
