NDG And I'm Alaska they publish Better than a starsingle out on July 17, 2026 For Too much Records. The song is a summer postcard about a sweet and light love: between pop sounds with a retro flavor and an immediate refrain, the two Roman singer-songwriters talk about the desire to fall in love and leave the anxieties of the world behind, at least for a while.
NDG, Better than a star: what the song is about
Better than a star tells of an encounter that turns the tables. The two protagonists come from disappointing experiences, made up of people who pretend to be different from who they are and of loves that have left their mark. Against this background, the right person appears almost out of nowhere and changes the way you look at things: problems are reduced to crumbs and the world becomes lighter.
The setting is declaredly summery. NDG And I'm Alaska they give voice to two boys who, after having known the most complicated side of love, rediscover the lightness of an authentic feeling: they sunbathe, sing at karaoke, live the relationship without superstructures.
NDG, Better than a star: the meaning of the text
The heart of the song lies in the phrase that gives the piece its title: being with the right person is worth more than any ideal of success. Being together matters more than appearance, more than the desire to emerge, more than the obsession of chasing an unattainable image.
It is a message that the two construct in two voices, alternating the male and female points of view: the same scene told from both sides, so the piece is not a one-way love but a mutual encounter. Lightness, here, is a choice of course after having gone through the difficult part of love, the one in which one suffers and makes mistakes.
The meaning of the feat goes in this direction: NDGwhich reached the general public with more melancholy songs, and I'm Alaskaaccustomed to recounting the fragility and dreams of her generation, meet on a more sunny terrain, in which the two writings respond to each other instead of overlapping.
The piece continues the new phase opened by NDG after signing with Too much Recordsinaugurated by individuals Disappeared And Gameboy.
