ORLANDOwho is the singer-songwriter chosen by VEVO Italia among the Newcomers 2026
Orlando Capassoin art ORLANDOis originally from Villafontana, a small town in the Veneto region that inspires much of his musical and visual imagination. In his songs he talks about provincial life with a direct style, influenced by the Italian pop songwriting of the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s.

In January 2026 he was also selected by VEVO Italia among the artists of the Newcomers 2026 program, dedicated to young promises of the music scene.
American: the new single between irony and friendship
At the center of the song there is a disappointment in love experienced by one of the members of the bandthe group of friends he often accompanies ORLANDO also in his communication on social media. Rather than dwelling on the suffering, the individual chooses a light register: an evening together, some laughter and the belief that every story can leave room for a new beginning.
“'Americanata' is about a disappointment in love of one of us, one of the gang. We exorcised the moment as we always do: with a bitter, a song and a couple of laughs. The title is a reference to all those love stories in American teen films and series, from Disney Channel films to more recent examples like Off Campus, of which I'm a big fan.
Maybe it's the summer's fault, but I really wanted to do something light and let this side of me shine through. In everyday life I'm a 'good guy', I like not to take myself too seriously to face the days.”
The title recalls that sentimental imagery typical of American teen productions, used as an ironic key to tell a story which, rather than turning into a drama, finds a peaceful conclusion thanks to the support of friends.
The artistic path of ORLANDO
With American continues the path begun in the autumn of 2025 with The Guns shirtfirst single released after joining Carosello Records. In the following months they also arrived Life completed And Just to save mestages that accompanied the artistic growth of the singer-songwriter.
The choice to alternate more introspective moments with songs with a light tone confirms the desire to talk about everyday life without following a single stylistic direction, always keeping a simple and immediate language at the centre.
