After the experience ad Friends of Maria De Filippi, Plasma he goes back to telling his story with Wanderersan EP that mixes rap, songwriting and introspection, transforming fragility, mistakes and generational anxieties into music.
The Ligurian artist, who in recent years has also collaborated with Alpha And Ollydescribes this project as something more than just a snapshot of the present:
“More than a single shot, Wanderers it is the story of many things that happened”.
In fact, the album contains songs written in very different moments of his life, united by the desire to tell his story without filters.
Plasma, “Perdigiorno”: a generational manifesto
The title of the project is sort of generational manifestowhich claims the right not to always have everything under control, in a society that runs fast and wants us all to perform.
“Being a wastrel means claiming the freedom of not yet knowing what to be”.
But, second Plasmawhat is freedom? For the Genoese artist it is “be connected to the present time“, without necessarily chasing the approval and expectations of others.
A concept – this – which runs through the entire project and which also emerges in the verse:
“I am free and I will be free”.
Plasma: “Making mistakes is a privilege”
Among the central themes of the interview there is also that of adolescence, seen not only as a phase of life, but as an emotional state to be preserved.
Plasma he says he still feels deeply connected to that age, “who has not made peace with the world“, underlining how fundamental mistakes are to truly grow: “Making mistakes is a privilege of our age… and perhaps of a lifetime”.
Plasma: “Making music saved me”
One of the most intense passages of the interview concerns the theme of fragility. Here, in a historical moment in which social media often pushes us to show only “the clear face of the moon”, Plasma he says he chose to also appear fragile and reveals how instinctive, and often therapeutic, the process of writing a song is.
“Music can be transformed into a tool to learn more about ourselves and the world around us.”
And, precisely when talking about his relationship with music, comes one of the most personal stories of the interview. Plasma in fact, he remembers the moment in which he truly understood that music would be his path: a girl was born in the hospital Swallow.
“I wrote it to save myself, then it helped someone else too.”
“Waiter” like a Van Gogh painting: THE INTERVIEW with Plasma
At the end of the interview, Plasma transforms his new EP into a work of art. The chosen artist? Van Gogh. A figure that feels close to “the torment, the chaos and the obsession” also present in his writing.
The image that emerges is therefore that of a deeply emotional project, made up of contradictions, impulses and fragility, but above all of the desire to live every experience to the full. Because, as he himself says, the sense of Wanderers it's perhaps all there: accepting the chaos, without stopping looking for yourself.
Below is our video interview! Take some time to immerse yourself in the universe of Plasma.
