With Supermodel the Måneskin are preparing to overwhelm Eurovision once again

Almost a year later, i Måneskin will be back on Saturday 14 May on the stage of the Eurovision Song Contest. It was from that stage that theirs started amazing journey in the world of the most famous international music. They will return to the starting point to be listened to live the new single, Supermodeljust launched. It doesn’t matter if Damiano will be limping for taking a sprain while shooting a video: “Crutches won’t stop me, in some way I will do ». The show will live up to their standards, with a tribute to Elvis Presley and then the new single. It will be tangible proof of the extraordinary path of the band which, despite having the same rock attitude as when they performed in the streets of Rome, is now at the same level as the great international artists.

It is the genesis of the individual himself that summarizes the evolution of the group, which they explained to the agency AdnKronos: “We have written Supermodel after spending some wonderful months in Los Angeles. At times it has surprised us – and at the same time intrigued – that people care so much about cultivating their own statusto be one celebrity and is totally obsessed with appearancesgive her acquaintances. We began to imagine an enigmatic character: Supermodel. She is a fantastic, bright and very social girl who is actually full of problems and hides sadness and addiction“. Inevitably, therefore, the new dimension has entered their music: presenting the single on the Eurovision stage will be like making a dense summary of a year that led Måneskin to unimaginable peaks.

When they performed in Rotterdam, in 2021, Damiano, Victoria, Ethan and Thomas arrived with a nice luggage full of all their apprenticeship: from the Pulse Festival, a Roman contest for band won in 2016 (with the judgment of the critic Fabrizio Galassi: “We seen a possible future of music “), in second place of X Factor in 2017, until the victory of Sanremo Festival in 2021. The group that until then had shone in their own home submitted to the international gaze e definitely captured him.

On Saturday the Måneskin will return to where they started from an incredible year: international collaborations, the Tonight Show by Jimmy Fallon, the opening of a Rolling Stones concert, theEllen DeGeneres Showthe Saturday Night Live, the Coachella. We imagine it will be like telling all this to old friends who haven’t seen each other in a while. The single Supermodel seems to be perfect for doing so, because it is the fruit of very important collaborations (with Max Martin, Rami Yacoub, Justin Tranter, Sylvester Willy Sivertsen, i.e. authors and producers of international artists: The Weeknd, Katy Perry, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga, Dua Lipa just to name a few).

A few days ago it became known that the French president, Emmanuel Macronhe had asked disqualification of Måneskin at Eurovision in 2021, unjustly accusing Damiano of snorting cocaine live in the world (the drug test was negative). Stéphane Bern, commentator for France of the last edition, said that at the moment of her proclamation she received a message from Macron asking her to intervene in some way against the Italian group: “Do something, please”. An injustice narrowly escaped, which perhaps could have changed the fate of the band today can count over 5 billion streams on all digital platforms.

On the Turin stage, Måneskin will also bring this and tell us that the plans for the future are even more grandiose. As great as the Loud Kids Tour which also sold out dates in 2023 not only in Italy, but also in Europe, the United States and South America. Måneskin have become bigger but have not changed: “International productions or the comparison with others did not lead us in another direction than we wanted”. Nobody made him change his mind, even on the “Fuck Putin” shouted at Coachella: “I would do it again”. In short, they will never be quiet and good.
