L’obiettivo della mia musica è quello di aiutare le persone, per una volta però volevo mandare un messaggio non a tanta gente, bensì solo a una persona, mia madre. Mi sono fatto ispirare dalla vita che ho trascorso con lei e anche dai racconti della sua infanzia. La distanza che c’e tra me e lei da ormai 4 anni ha avuto molta importanza nella stesura del testo, volevo che si percepisse tramite la musica questa distanza, con suoni molto lontani, contrastati da una voce vicina, molto presente.

Concerning the composition history, it all started with the two chords of the verse, leading to the chorus through different variations in the arrangement. While harmonically the chorus followed almost naturally, I spent some time working on a chorus melody able to ‘open up’ the obsessive mood of the verse with its quite dreamy feel. Having benefited from the contribution of different musicians to record some parts (saxophone, drums and percussions), the recording sessions have been multiple and stretched through a pretty long period, until I could find a really satisfying result. Finally, from the thematic point of view, the song explores fear from different perspectives and in its different forms. I think we can’t (and shouldn’t) live apart from or suppress this complex feeling. It is definitely ‘embedded’ in our nature. What scares us of fear is surely its destructive, even annihilating side, but I think we sometimes overlook its potential to foster strength and bring renewal.

La canzone “RESPIRA” si apre con un risveglio emotivo dell’artista, che si trova ad affrontare una nuova percezione della realtà circostante. La città assume un duplice significato, rappresentando sia lo spazio fisico in cui si svolgono le vicende, sia uno stato mentale intriso di tensione e pericolo. L’artista esplora il concetto di fuga, sia da sé stesso che dall’ambiente esterno, riflettendo sulle proprie emozioni. La frase chiave “Sembra proprio un caso, non siamo la stessa cosa, scappi via di casa, la città è pericolosa” sintetizza questo dualismo, mettendo in luce il conflitto interiore dell’artista e il senso di vulnerabilità che pervade la sua esperienza.
Tiempo atrás, leyendo a Mario Varga Llosa, Cecilia Lara comprendió algo a lo que anteriormente no le había dado mucha importancia: la lectura. Es más, la lectura de ficción, como es la de caballerías (Don Quijote). Esta actividad de leer, junto con muchas otras, normalmente culturales, como ir al teatro o a un concierto, son normalmente relegadas al “tiempo libre”, a los hobbies”. La literatura, como el resto de artes, es en realidad el motor de la vida, la pasión, el sueño, la ilusión, el fuego, y por ello, es algo primordial sin la que el resto de cosas de la vida no tendrían sentido. Partiendo de esta idea, y con la base oculta inspiracional de la canción “no soy de aquí ni soy de allá” de Facundo Cabral, la canción viene a invitarnos a ese sueño. Nos invita a despojarnos de todo lo práctico y disfrutar de las mil vidas imaginarias que podemos vivir leyendo.
Así, la canción reproducir ese anhelo soñador en su estructura: no se compone de versos y estribillos sino que una vez que rompe no vuelve atrás. Así, solo crece ese sueño, esa ambición, que comienza hablando de la lectura, continúa haciéndolo sobre la escritura y culmina en un suspiro.
It is the story of my wife, who’s been through rough waters lately in her life. She’s on the right track though, and showing a lot of courage along the way, although it hasn’t been easy.
A new Single by MELFI, from SONO Music Family. Discover what inspired the artist, the idea and mood that led to this masterpiece.
MELFI: ‘Praise’ has a special place in my heart because I never felt ready for it to be over. It took over 2 years to fully develop and went through so many evolutions and tones and sounds before I felt that it was ready to be the most it could be. When I first showed Moses the barebones mix back in October of 2022, I told him the title and he said, “Oh bet I know exactly what to do” and within three weeks he had written all the verses and choruses. His lyrics expertly accented the vibe of the track I was going for and leveled it up beyond what I originally showed him; so, I had to 1-up or AT LEAST match his energy with the production. So continued the sound design journey that I’ve always been on, always trying to get it to sound that much better, more dynamic, more momentous. I wanted there to be a lot of room to get lost in. We’ve always loved being able to listen back to a song over and over and discover new elements about it, so we tried our best to implement that here. One day I had finally done it, after two years of us growing together as friends and artists, after the first version was even referenced, the song was finished. The scope and power of the song to me is perfect as it is, and I know we’ll look back and say that this song was huge milestone indemnifying our progress.”
Moses: “‘Praise’ is not the first time I worked with MELFI (and will not be the last) but marks the first time we poured ourselves into a track together. I usually don’t like songwriting based around the name of a demo beat, but what MELFI produced and allowed me to expand on is truly the EDM representation of praise, even at that first session. “Feel your praise, feel my praise, feel our praise” kept repeating in my head. I took what we created home, and the lyric writing process just flowed.
After some time, MELFI revamped the original instrumental and created this magical space. Crossing a 90’s Hip-Hop drum bounce with the lush textures and sensational sound design elevated ‘Praise’ to new heights. We want everyone who listens to temporarily drift into our world. We want you to “let go and just be who you are.” We believe we are all worth ‘Praise.’
Con questo pezzo l’artista racconta il passaggio tra due vite: quella di oggi e una nuova. La canzone rappresenta la rincorsa verso un nuovo viaggio lontano dal mondo. La città diventa il container caotico di ansie e paure che lo spingono a un pensiero martellante: “la città è piena di gente, a cosa serve stare qui?…non mi guardi mai, rotto in due per la felicità, fino al cielo corri su”. “FINO AL CIELO nasce come un’immersione profonda nell’animo, un viaggio sensoriale attraverso le strade affollate della mente. Le parole dipingono una piazza disconnessa, mentre il ritmo incalzante delinea l’affanno che l’artista percepisce al confine tra realtà esterna e percezione interiore. Nel crescendo finale, l’arrangiamento musicale si trasforma in un’esplosione di liberazione, incarnando la fuga verso l’infinito desiderio di felicità. Questo brano è un grido di liberazione, un’inno alla ricerca di un significato più profondo nella vita.

‘Maestro of the Vines’, the result of blending reality, memory and dreams, is a song about “limitless undying love”. It talks about dreams being a shelter in which one can experience things that are impossible to occur in real life, such as visiting someone’s childhood to give them a helping hand, and being able to see, hear and touch someone that is gone. The intention behind writing and producing ‘Maestro of the Vines’ was to allow memories of a loved one to continue to exist over time, by capturing them in symbolic ways in the song’s lyrics and melodies.
This song came together on its own, it marks the start of a great collaboration and friendship with the producer Asaph.
It was born on San Valentine’s day, when her producer sent her this very soulful and vintage backing track looking for a songwriter to compose melody and to give lyrics to his music piece. It all came very naturally and effortlessly, within one day, the song was written and the vocals recorded, with the result of the perfect edgy and organic sound Ladylucci was looking for.
I was at home listening to my 2023 RnB playlist and realized how.. similar everything sounded. Nothing was really unique and all of it was very stagnant in topic so I wanted to make something fun.
