The review of Gospel Housethe first album that sees them united in an entire recording project thasup And Mara Sattei.
thasup he returned after a fairly long period of hospitalizations, hospitals, ambulances but also profound reflections on himself and his spirituality, all shared via social media.
It's been a year and a half full of changes for thasupboth sentimental and human and spiritual. A path that led him to a complete approach to religion, declaring himself an evangelical Protestant and stating that God helped him find the “right path” again.
From this rebirth was born the desire to tell his love for God through music. A few months ago, under the alter ego Yungest Moonstar, David Mattei had released the mixtape sFaCioLaTe miXTapeenjoying considerable commercial success and setting foot back on the scene. But that work was only the prelude to a bigger return, accompanied by a project that fully represented him and didn't make him feel alone.
Family, often a pillar in difficult times, was the focus of the new album. And this is how it was born Gospel Housea project shared with his sister Mara Satteiwhich helped him build an intimate and powerful work. The concept of family union clearly emerges already from the teaser, where the two edited old videos shot by their parents, mainly linked to Christmas.
The album cover itself is a photo taken by his father about twenty years ago, with David And Will be (real name of Mara Sattei) in front of the Christmas tree.
thasup and mara sattei, the review of gospel house
Title Casa Gospel it is not accidental: it recalls the gospel choir present in the songs and pays homage to the mother of the two, who in the past was part of a choir. The comparison with is inevitable Jesus Is King Of Kanye Westfrom which thasup seems to draw inspiration. Also in this album, the figure of God is central, with a mix of futuristic and gospel bases that makes the project unique.
Songs like Bless on Bless, Back To Back And Like Dust they tell the spiritual journey of thasup and its rebirth. The single My place it is a dedication that seems addressed both to the sister and to the Almighty, consolidating the theme of family and faith.
The album, while not immediate upon first listen, grows over time, revealing the full depth of 's past discomfort thasup and his desire to be reborn through family love and faith. Mara Satteiwith its unmistakable style, enriches the work, while maintaining the characteristic challenge of a not always immediate understanding of the texts.
With Gospel Housei Mattei they raise the bar of Italian music, bringing freshness and depth to an often homogeneous panorama. thasup And Mara Sattei They're not for everyone, but that's what makes them special. Amen.
