Four years after "Prisoner 709", Caparezza is back with a new album, Exuvia, eighth studio album, available from 7 May on Polydor / Universal Music label.
The album contains fourteen tracks written, composed, produced by Caparezza and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge.
Exuvia is, in short, the term that describes the old skin of the insect after moulting.
Caparezza borrows this scientific term to describe her personal transformation, her journey from the past to the present.
The disc thus celebrates the rite of passage, the detachment and escape from one's "exuvia".
Exuvia is also the song chosen as the poster of the album and already on all digital platforms.
It is the final piece that closes the path, but also the moment that marks the rebirth.
"The EXUVIA is what remains of the body of some insects after having developed a formal change - says Caparezza -. A perfect cast, so precise in the details that it looks like a sculpture, a kind of transparent case that once housed life and now stands there, motionless, a simulacrum of a phase that has now passed. On the cover there is a symbol that represents the passage from a current condition (large circle) to a future (small circle) through a series of spirals (symbol of death and rebirth in most cultures). My EXUVIA is therefore a rite of passage in 14 songs, the path of a fugitive who escapes from the captivity of the past to let himself be swallowed up by the forest and lose his tracks. my energies to be able to get out of my EXUVIA, but I will talk about that in due course. Now I prefer to let you listen to the title track.
The album is already in pre-order and I am already in turmoil. The journey has begun. "
From February 2022 the EXUVIA tour in the sports halls starts.
