Lucio Corsi's success. From niche artist to media phenomenon

The success of Lucio Coursesfrom authenticity to the overexposure of the Emerging Tuscan singer -songwriter after participation in Sanremo 2025.

Who knows the musical career of Lucio Courses He knows that his poetics has always moved between reality and dream, between lunar images and imagined transformations. He has always been a retro artist, a kind narrator, who sings the world through poetic metaphors, thin irony and delicate visions …

“I wanted to be a tough but I'm nobody, I'm nothing but Lucio.”: This point of I wanted to be a toughthe song that Lucio Courses He sang at the Festival, sounds like a warning, or perhaps an omen or perhaps still a forgotten confession because instead today Lucio is everywhere!

Interviews, programs, specials, columns, podcasts, direct, appeared, invitations, quotes, comments. As an intimate artist and outside the box, he has turned into the new star to be placed everywhere. The reflector, who was almost a threat in the song “Be careful” He became a fixed sun focused on his face. And the question, at this point, is inevitable: what is left of Lucio, the “not hard” one, that “White Judo belt”?

Lucio Corsi's success: the Tuscan singer -songwriter from Sanremo to overexposure

Lucio Courses He has always been a retro artist, a kind narrator, who sings the world through poetic images, lunar metaphors, thin irony. One who in his previous album disguises himself as an animal, astronaut and himself without ever losing the sense of the game, yet always keeping music as a serious thing.

Then came Sanremo. And as often happens with those who bring something different, the first system welcomes it with curiosity, then praise it, finally it crushes it. From niche artist to media phenomenon, the step was very short.

But the problem is not popularity. The problem is the bulimic use that is made of these artists, without any respect for the art form that belongs to their soul. It is as if the industry said: “We found A hen with golden eggs“. Another prophetic quote of the Sanremo text.

And then away, to imagine it of visibility, to push it in any possible context, even the most foreign and far from its world and way of being.

Too bad that Lucio is not a hen. It's Lucio. Only Lucio.

After Sanremo 2025: when the character becomes more important than the song

In his song, Courses He clearly says he is:“Instead of a star, a sneezing.” A poetic and powerful declaration, of extreme simplicity. A self-portrait of the anti-divo par excellence.

But if the public begins to perceive it as “a star, a character“Instead of simply”one who plays”, Something breaks.

When an artist is imposed, even the most faithful listener risks trying a thin form of refusal, almost antipathy. Not for music itself, but for the noise around.

“And that the moons without holes are rips” It is another beautiful image in the song: it looks like advice to the same future, what perhaps has lost today: be careful not to become a smooth product, without edges, without imperfections, without truth.

Lucio Corsiin his writing, is full of “holes”, and for this reason you love it. Because it is not built, nor smooth. Yet today those who promote it, pushes him, the program risks transforming it into something that is not. And that he didn't want to be. (True, Lucio, confirm that it is so! It is important for me, for what I think of you!)

The wonder of the slow rhythm of songwriting music

The songwriter does not seek shortcuts, cannot be consumed for breakfast, for dinner, in television magazines, in prizes games, in podcasts on the festival, in the interviews on trends.

It cannot be heard Lucio Courses In the background in a fast food chain because the risk is that it becomes background music. The risk is that the public begins to associate it more with its image than on its part. That his identity becomes invisible precisely when he is more visible.

The Tuscan singer -songwriter He is a boy who sings the absurdity of being, the fragility of the human being. One who wrote a song that ends with “I'm nothing more than Lucio.”

And it is precisely from here that we should start again in Italian music: from humility, from intimacy, from delicacy.

From the possibility of disappearing for a while, to return to saying something truly authentic, who really feels the urgency to communicate. From the freedom of not having to be everywhere, in order to really be.

This would be the real success for the Lucio Corsithe independent artist we learned before the festival. Will he be able to remain faithful to himself?
