Federica Abbate dismantles the myth of the “Prince Charming” with “Superman”
With the new song, Federica Abbate faces a personal phase of doubts and open questions. The heart of the piece is right there: the moment you think you have to have everything clear in life, you actually discover that you don't really know who you are or where you are going.
Superman it is a song that talks about fragility and insecurities. It tells of the often instinctive attempt to seek confirmation in relationships and people, but ending up in emotionally unbalanced relationships. A reflection that the singer-songwriter addresses with her direct style and a good dose of self-irony.
“'Superman' is the chronicle, the diary of the phase of insecurity in the life of a girl who places (mistakenly) the confirmations of who she is and her value on the outside, to realize in the end that there is no one who can 'save' her or 'validate' her except herself. And, playing down the situation, she realizes that there is no 'Superman' at all, he is just a character born from her imagination. And she laughs about it”says the artist.
