Without a stupid story: Achille Lauro has been singing the same song for a year?

Differences between Without a stupid story – The new single by Achille Lauro just out and with which, you imagine, want to pull the sprint at least until Christmas – and the fundamental Young unconscious that last February sanctioned his umpteenth (and perhaps last, and perhaps definitive) rebirth: where before there was a saxophone solo, a harmonic one arrives at this tour. Enough, nothing else. But who thinks that ours has made the leap of the ditch and went from Venditti to De Gregori, well, you are wrong: here there is if anything to be distinguished between good and bad, among those who say that Lauro has found the formula – yet another, again, and perhaps the definitive – and who says that instead he beats the iron until it is hot, because, really, in the end we are always there. And that is: At the nostalgic and tearing ballatona, a born superclassical, I remember (still) of youth so much to the kilo, desire for freedom, dissolutionary for the minimum, etc. Vendittiana up to the marrow, and in fact the two will soon collaborate. Meanwhile, the truth is a bit in the middle.

Let’s start from a fact: six years after the explosion of Rolls Royce to Sanremo 2019that is, the accelerator who convinced trapper and similar to going to Ariston because yes, it was a stage that could make sense for them, this it is undoubtedly the best laurel ever. Not necessarily on a qualitative level, but at least from the point of view of numbers and perception: in 2026 an Olympic stadium (at home, Rome) awaited him, the latest album Ordinary fatal He was also certified platinum disc with the rigid rules of assignment today, he was one of the few to have allowed himself not to go out with summer hits because he was strong in the pairing Young unconscious And Love (300 thousand copies in two, Tiè); above all, gives the feeling of being loved, transversely and by many. Maybe before it unleashed more itch, it was popular but also a divisive, now it is mostly everyone. A life seems to have passed since Strip the newsstill in the first Sanremo, he hunt him for the alleged references to the drugs of the texts: This February the audience of Ariston mumbled when he saw him out of the podium. And they mulgged everyone, eh, of course, especially adults and families in general, who were previously terrified of him.

There are those who say, also here, that after trying many, after trying to give scandal in all, the ways, not always succeeding, was only left that this card here, the normalization of which Without a stupid story It is the exclamation point: from Desperate love And X Factor To date, He became a singer for families, not even more rebellious, than those who if he has to say something – mostly take sides for the last – He does it gently from early evening. Even wise. Mind you, this time too it is all in the right place: the refrain is already from a stadium, the theme is mature (the denunciation of a toxic relationship, even with the romance of all time, because “love is not to feel” complete “only through the other, canceling one’s own self in the name of something we have only idealized”, he says), the effect phrase – which will take altitude, is no spoiler – is on the launch ramp.

It is there, but the other aspect of the matter is missing: it is true that the parable has been quick (Vasco Rossi has put twenty years and a middle arrest), but it is also in following such times Here, Lauro no: This path, not even a bourgeoising or a betrayal, but more an honest look at the past, is credible, founded, lived. Because, the role of the great classic, one must also know how to wear them, and has few rivals: it will also be musical for the past that in recent years has oversee it anywhere and often also put over the lines, it will be because in any case the writing is always there, But his voice as a borgata dandy amplifies the meaning of the various pieces in question (which is always the same), It makes them part of a single great story, his. Certainly carried out with quick times and in part by the management of the emergency, but today’s laurel is the same, however, of 2019. It is a sort of training novel that takes place in public, to follow. And he also knows how to do it, because the classics – Olly, also testifies, another champion in this sense – are available to everyone, but then it takes talent, however, to take them in hand. Many are hurt.

So yes, those who are linked to the idea of ​​Lauro who surprises, that breaks the rules and which causes, well, must put their soul in peace: Without a stupid story It is a certainty if anything, between this and Young unconscious Very little passes there, perhaps only the boredom effect, but he is good at not making him go up and therefore, probably, others will come from here on. There is opportunism, of course, but not only. It comes to think of the philosopher’s stone, the infinite search for a formula that would save him, to the thousand transformations that we have seen him do in recent years. But no, in the end it is more A sword in the rock: These pieces were there, sculpted in tradition, they only needed time and the right person who pulled them out. You said Nuente. And he, now that he made it, rightly keeps them tight.
