Friday 9 June will finally be released on all digital platforms for Asian Fake/Sony Music The secretthe highly anticipated second album by Venusone of the most original artists on the contemporary Italian scene.
The second recording effort of Andrew Venus it has been defined with a sort of concept album, but one shouldn’t be fooled by this label: it is in fact a project whose fil rouge is more linked to the approach with which it was conceived. In fact, all the songs were recorded live, without filters; another element that distinguishes them is their strong songwriting component, expressed in a path that never before directs voice and writing towards the listener.
What makes Il Segreto di Venerus so special?
Here too we find a high level of experimentation and research: for the occasion, the artist did not in fact use the metronome, nor did he make subsequent edits as anticipated. The entire album was recorded together with her trusty band in her home studio in Milan, a place that has gathered the artist’s inspirations and energies. Neither The secret life flows intensely in the flow of songs, in whose productions there is room for the sound of the train coming through the window, for footsteps, for laughter…
Characterized by a musical approach in vogue in the 60s and 70s, the disc has been defined as “the photograph of a moment, a state of mind, a place that seems to live together with the author while listening: a magic, a secret that is the most inexplicable, wonderful and magical part of art”.
Speaking of the disc, Venus commented:
The human condition that most creates a suspension is that of the secret. The secret as a promise, the secret as a recipe, the secret as the origin of a marvel. In a world that is moving towards artificial intelligence, this album is the manifesto of human music.
The video interview with the artist
However, it would be wrong to think that the secret of the record title is something we hide from others out of shame. The secret for the artist is that trick, that gem that only we know and makes us so unique and, at the same time, interesting in the eyes of others. The singer told us about this and much more in our video interview, which you can retrieve below.
