Colapesce Dimartino, Ornella Vanoni’s return as «Toy Boy»

Ornella Vanoni, like Orietta Berti, did not respond angrily to the offer of a light collaboration. “Indeed, very light.” And of Colapesce Dimartino, agreed to be the shoulder. Ornella Vanoni, together with the phenomena of Sanremo, wrote Toy Boy, released on Friday, along with an author video. With a black veil pulled down over her face, widow of a man whom no mention is made, she staged a surreal duet. «We will do what you want / We will be your toy boys», the Sicilian duo sang to her, a shirt with seahorses and a pair of sunglasses.

«But what toy, but what boy / Love was, it’s gone now», retorted a Vanoni in black, posing her hands with the same grace, a little mannerist, that was Mina’s.

The Vanoni, in Toy Boy, pretended to be the object of attention, rejected for form and duty. Ultimately, however, welcomed as pampering to a never forgotten ego. On the orange background of the video, directed by Luca Guadagnino, between palm trees and atmospheres of past eras, he sought and found the complicity of Colapesce Dimartino, the last – in a timeline – to have asked for the collaboration of a musical institution.

The duo, with Toy Boy, he wanted to ride what seems to be the trend of the summer, giving life, however, to a different music. Very light, yes, but far from the blatantly pop sounds that are now accustomed to associating with the first heat.
