2021 was theirs, with "Musica Leggerissima".

In a few days, always from the Ariston stage, they will try again.

Colapesce and Dimartino are ready to return "to the scene of the crime" with the piece with a Baptist flavor "Splash" (with string arrangements by Davide Rossi, who had already contributed to the success of "Musica light", 5 platinum records and beyond 150 million streams).

"It won't be very easy - admit the two Sicilian artists - something magical happened with Musica light, but we are calm. And we have nothing to lose, on the contrary. We are sure that it will only bring us something positive".

But, it will be a coincidence, the song written by the two songwriters and produced by Federico Nardelli and Giordano Colombo speaks precisely of how to face the weight of expectations, of how these influence our lives.

"We fill our lives with frills, because emptiness scares us. We live work as a refuge from everyday adversity, so as not to really think about how we are", explain Lorenzo and Antonio who do not hide that they have fished in the history of the Italian singer-songwriter .

"Splash" is a dive, metaphorical and otherwise, into collective memory: a tribute to the Battisti-Mogol couple,

to Domenico Modugno, to Luigi Tenco.

"We have always walked in the footsteps of tradition. Battisti was so fundamental that 90% of the music was affected by it.

What we're trying to do - Colapesce and Dimartino say with conviction - is to give new life to songwriting, which got stuck in the 1970s and lives off its income, always looking like a copy of something else.

Update and regenerate it, in the production and in the themes, which have been self-referential for too long.

Young people no longer identify with it and rap is the new songwriting today". The song will be released in a 45 rpm vinyl version that also contains "Cose da pazzi", the song that is part of the soundtrack of the Prime Video series " The Bad Guy". Because the images of TV and cinema have captivated the two. Not only as musicians, but also as actors. On February 20, "La primavera della mia vita" arrives in theaters, the film written and interpreted by Colapesce and Dimartino , which marks the

A surreal journey, steeped in poetry and lightness, directed by Zavvo Nicolosi, in his first film.

It is the story of two friends, Lorenzo and Antonio (coincidentally the names of the two artists in the registry office) with a common musical past and a future to be written.

After the breakup of their professional partnership and a long period of silence, Antonio (Dimartino) re-contacts Lorenzo (Colapesce) for a new and mysterious project, during which they will have to come to terms with their past and with themselves.

"The characters resemble us up to a certain point, they are our metaverse version - they point out, both passionate about the big screen.

The project had been in the air for some time: we wanted to make a film even before a record.

And we have chosen an unprecedented Sicily". Sicily, their homeland, at the center of the news these days due to the arrest of Matteo Messina Denaro. "We are happy with the end of his hiding, but there is still much to do on the mafia issue.

When Totò Riina was arrested it was said that a severe blow had been dealt, but it was not like that.

The arrest of Messina Denaro is a goal, but not the victory."
