(ANSA) - ROME, OCTOBER 23 - "A record that was supposed to come out in April and instead comes out now, six months later, my first time in San Sir with two dates postponed to next summer: as Lodo Guenzi de Lo Stato Sociale summed up, all this it is the poetic representation of the bad luck of 883 ".
Max Pezzali had to deal with the pandemic that blocked his projects as well as everyone's.
Not without consequences.
"The new unpublished record was ready, it photographed my world before the global stop - says Pezzali -. When I took it back in my hand, I went into crisis: it seemed to me that it was telling something that was no longer general situation ".
Michele Canova took him out of the embarrassment, proposing a song (written jointly with Jacopo Ettore) which then gave the title to the project: Qualcosadi nuovo, out on October 30 for Warner Music, five years after the previous work.
A romantic ballad that "made the glue and bridge between before and after. The key that gave dignity to the rest".
And it is no coincidence that he gave the title to the album, because "something new is what we need now, in human relationships as well as in personal motivations, to look beyond the horizon line", says the singer.
In the disc runs the thread of memory and of what has been.
"Manon is a nostalgia for its own sake - explains Pezzali -. The past serves as a litmus test not to regret a past that no longer exists, but to interpret the present and prepare us for the future".
The video for Something New was conceived, produced and performed by Fabio Volo, while Max and his son Hiloc appear only as cameos.
In the album there are some features: from Torment to GionnyScandal to finish with J-Ax.
