ORNELLA VANONI, THE NEW SINGLE “PERDUTO”
The most attentive ones will know that, however, Lost it's actually a song from 1992 that Ornella Vanoni has decided to re-present it in a completely new guise thanks to the collaboration with the DJ and producer hey …stage name of Simone Sproccati.
His collaboration with the best Italian producers confirms once again the artist's great ability to renew himself by experimenting with music, giving new life to his greatest hits.
On the song, Ornella Vanoni tells: «Lost It was born as a Brazilian piece by Marisa Monte, for which I wrote the lyrics in Italian in the 90s. It's a piece that I love very much and that is never missing from my concerts. Thinking about how much music and sounds have changed today, I decided to put myself on the line and dive into the wave of modernity, working on a piece that I am very fond of to make it in step with the times”.
Lost tells of the melancholy for the end of a love story that, thanks to this new electro-disco guise, becomes the perfect musical bridge between past and present.
Here's how the artist told it on social media:
“Perduto was born as a Brazilian piece by Marisa Monte for which I wrote the lyrics in Italian in the 90s. It's a piece that I love very much and that is never missing from my concerts. Thinking about how much music and sounds have changed today, I decided to get involved and dive into the wave of modernity, working on a piece that I am very fond of to make it in step with the times and collaborating with the DJ and producer heysimo“
The producer's words, heysimo
“I produced “PERDUTO”, the new single by ORNELLA VANONI
It was March when Pietro Camonchia sent me the first email regarding this project: a blank sheet of paper.
Having carte blanche is the most beautiful thing from a creative point of view, but when you talk about such monumental songs and artists, it's a huge responsibility.I immediately listened to the songs that would make up the album, and I understood two things: The first is that thinking of being able to do one of these songs “better” would have been madness. The only possibility was to do something totally different.
The second is that even though I liked all the songs, with 'PERDUTO' I immediately felt a very strong empathy.
I immediately felt connected to this song and literally fell into it.In fact, the production was born in just a few hours, I was completely convinced of what I had done because I had done it with all my heart, but inside I was totally convinced that I had exaggerated, in some way… that I had travelled too far.
Instead, the opposite happened, the feedback was enthusiastic right from the start and the song that is FUORI OVUNQUE today is actually the natural evolution of that first version.A heartfelt thanks to Ornelal Vanoni, Metatron and BMG for their trust.
Working on this song was an immense honor “
