Text and meaning of MALIAthe new single by Levantout June 26. Another chapter of the story that the artist has been carrying on for months about love and its end, here expressed as enchantment: the invisible force that seduces, drags and transforms, suspended between desire and mystery.
The song arrives after the live preview on June 19th at the Roma Pride concert event, an event of which Levant she was ambassador last Saturday in the capital. MALIA enters the next album “Failure of love and other dance steps”together with NEVER, NOTHING TO SAY, THE FAILURE OF LOVE, I AM BLUE and to the Sanremo song IT'S YOU.
Levant – MALIA: the meaning of the song
At the center there is sensual love that bewitches and enchants: desire, promise, passion. The title character is a precise figure, and it is the same one who tells it Levant:
“Malìa is a prostitute from Pigalle. She belongs to everyone and never belongs to anyone. Love for her is nothing more than a triple dance from body to body. She is happy with this carousel in which, together with the other loose dogs of Paris, she never stops feeling free”.
The image is that of Pigalle and his loose dogs, a freedom that passes through the body and refuses possession. The song remains within the recognizable writing of the artist, more interested in describing desire than in enclosing it within a moral. The same narrative sensitivity earned her the recent nomination for the David di Donatello Awards for the original song CRAZY.
After the success of the Dell'amore – Club Tour 2026, Levant starts again on July 3rd with the summer tour organized by I live concerts: all the dates, tickets and lineup are in our dedicated article.
