“This record is an accurate diagnosis of what happened in my last year: inside my brain, inside my house, inside my bed and inside my body,” he says. gIANMARIA (that’s how it’s written), the winner of Sanremo Youth with The city you hate, which we had already seen on the XFactor stage in 2021 where he finished second. 21 years old, angelic face, deep voice, publishes digitally Monster (Epic Records / Sony Music) ready to release it in its physical version on February 10, where we will also find the homonymous song that leads to the Festival among the big names. Nine tracks that photograph his world made of solitude, reflections, “monsters” but also a lot of light of a boy who moved from Vicenza to Milan to cultivate his dream, without feeling quite up to it yet: «The most present feeling during this period was that of not being ready enough to face the life that I have chosen and for which I have worked so hard. Having focused a lot on music, I left behind equally important aspects related to my family and my friends». He talks about this Monsterthe song, but it is a theme that also returns in Afraid of mewhere he expresses all the fear of losing control or when he reflects on friendship in Best friend. Relationships, love, emotional addiction, but also creativity, there are songs that immediately enter your head like Popular or All I’ve got. And it hits in the end Will, leaving melancholy, in a love letter dedicated to his loved ones. Rock mixing with urban, the refrains speak of an insecure generation that wonders, that cries, that wants to make it but above all needs to find certainties. GIANMARIA’s is a beautiful world because he speaks with contemporary sounds giving great space to writing, mixing the influences of rap with the language of the songwriters he grew up with. Therefore, the choice to take with you is not accidental Manuel Agnelli, in the evening of duets on Friday, to sing What is not there of the Afterhours.
