The review of the new album

Niccolò Fabi, Freedom in the eyes: the review of the new album (here our interview).

Out on Friday 16 May for BMG, Freedom in the eyes It is the tenth album of unpublished by Niccolò Fabi Which, always very linked to Trentino Alto Adige and its mountains, chose Lake Caprioli (Località Fazzon, Val di Sole) as a place where to dress its songs and play to experience together with the 6 travel companions who wanted to be at his side for the realization of this new project: Roberto Angelini, Alberto Bianco, Filippo Cornaglia, Emma Nolde, Cesare Augusto Giorgini And Riccardo Parravicini.

Here, far from the frenzy, from the duties and responsibilities of the newspaper, all together they found themselves “with the Unique desire to photograph a moment of happiness: a time when freedom crystallizes in a present time, pure and without choices, such as that of children“.

Freedom in the eyes it is therefore the result of a real artistic residence: an ancient way, but unusual enough these days, to think about the creation of a disc, spending ten days in a lost place in the mountains, in front of an icy lake surrounded by snow, and transforming a large room, all in wood with an immense window, into a recording studio.

“Freedom is also a way of looking at things and directing their existence. Paraphrasing what the motorcyclists think before entering the curve, Life goes where your gaze goes“.

Niccolò Fabi, “Freedom in the eyes”: the review of the new album

“More than a disc, Freedom in the eyes It is a priority, a way of turning the gaze, a state of mind and, at the same time, a fact that happened, an adventure, a concession to the game“, Chiosa Niccolò Fabiwhose voice in this album sometimes is lost, transforming itself into an echo that does not stop practicing alongside.

And here, once again, the Roman singer -songwriter carefully select the words to use (few, but good), then entrusting them to the instrumental queues of the songs contained inside the disc, so that there is once and a space to make them resound and leave them sediment.

And it is precisely here that the real journey begins: a introspective journeycompletely personal, To be done alonewith the courage to look at the abyss in the face and the awareness that “There is a future“(Love happens).

Freedom in the eyes It thus turns into a necessary disc, sometimes uncomfortable, in which hope makes a beating with the apprehension and concern of a father who wonders if it is still possible to reverse the course and save the world (“Between how the world was born and how it can end, the most current theme is if you really can save it ” – Flowing water).

There FREEDOM He therefore meets the RESPONSIBILITYlooking for a light that can lighten the darkness and reveal the path to go, because “Life goes where your gaze goes “and” The ending of our history we decide only“(Freedom in the eyes).

Niccolò Fabi and the “Medicine songs”

Freedom in the eyes It was born in a remote place in the middle of the mountains and of that place memory, keeping its energy, so much so that – listening to it – you have the feeling of being at Lake Caprioli, where everything has come to life, and then walked into the woods, slow down the step and savor the silence of the mind.

The mountain thus turns into a refuge, into a sacred place to give up the superfluous to rediscover the essentials.

And, speaking of sacred, Freedom in the eyes It is a disco full of mantra, which offers us new (s) points of view and gives us at least a couple of “Medicine songs“To listen to the need, with the awareness that fragility is never synonymous with weakness.

Songs better: Alba, love happens and no battle
Songs less successful: Who knows me better than you and freedom in the eyes
