Sangiovanni, the story of the crisis and the rebirth: “I was too exposed, I saddened myself and came to cry”

An emotional blackout, the need to stop and the desire to start again. Guest of the podcast Supernova by Alessandro Cattelan, Sangiovanni has retraced The difficult moment that led him to temporarily withdraw from the scenes last year. An interview that digs under the surface of success, telling the weight it can have, especially when it comes too early.

“I stopped for lack of energy,” explained the singer. «I had little to carry on this job and do it with a smile. I was physically and mentally unloaded ». After the boom ad Friendswhere he had arrived very young, everything changed quickly. “I made friends who I was 17, difficult to manage my career. I wanted to do the things of a seventeen year old, but it was difficult».

The Vicenza artist said he felt overwhelmed by a continuous exhibition, too large expectations to be supported for a long time: «For heaven’s sake, I started doing the things I love, that is, music. However I got to a time when I was weaker, perhaps for the judgments, perhaps because I was too exposed, perhaps for other things. At that moment I realized that I struggle. I saddened myself and came to cry. I felt bad to be with people, almost in the defect ».

A profound discomfort, who ended up undermining his way of perceiving himself: «I knew I was lucky to make the life of an artist and I told myself that it was not nice to show me sad. I said to myself: “I can no longer make a smile, there is no sense anymore”. I came to the point that I felt the need to disconnect, to stop. I dedicated myself to myself to look for new energies ».

To save him, the music. But also therapy: “Music, therapy helped me. I still continue to do it, knowing yourself is important. The important thing is also to have sensitivity, empathy towards others. We all learn to be more sensitive, “he explained in recent months.

In the interview there is no mention of his sentimental life, and the questions about the break with Giulia Stabile remain unanswered, the dancer known to Friends. But the words of Sangiovanni speak of a reccentraling path, of a rise that starts from within. The return, now, is marked by new music. After Xenon lightspublished in April, came out Trulythe second single that confirms a more mature and personal artistic turning point. Presented during an intimate live session with fans, the song mixes electro-pop and dance sounds with a text that reflects the change: a musical rebirth that goes hand in hand with the inner one.
