June 12, 2024 marks the return of the Barletta DJ Ruggiero Disalvo with his new single “Return Alone”, available on all streaming platforms. This song, full of emotions and introspection, addresses the theme of a finished relationship and the difficulties in letting go of a significant person, even though the bond is harmful. The song represents a personal rebirth, highlighted by the phrase “even tonight I’m going home alone from the party”, which symbolizes the strength to get up and start again from yourself.
The music video, shot in the evocative Palazzo della Marra in Barletta, pays homage to Ruggiero’s hometown, intertwining high-impact visual elements with the profound narrative of the song. With “Return Alone”, Ruggiero Disalvo confirms his talent and his ability to transform personal experiences into universal art.
Below, Ruggiero tells us in detail the inspiration behind his new creation, the creative process and the emotions that guided him in this project.
What was the main inspiration behind the song “Return Alone”?
The inspiration always comes from my great passion for classic and funky house, I like to bring back old sounds which in my opinion are always current.
Can you tell us more about the personal or emotional story that influenced this song?
Love is a theme that I care a lot about, together with Aurora we managed to weave together my sounds that give that sense of freedom to return everything around to love.
How would you describe the main message you want to convey with this song?
To give space to themselves, and to feel free when they listen to music and especially this song
What was it like collaborating together to create this song? What were the most significant moments?
It all started thanks to an Instagram story that I published months in which I was looking for a female voice for my song. Aurora was a bolt from the blue from the first moment we had a lot of positive energy, the best moments were during the first rehearsals through a simple social chat, a few weeks later in Tony Ciara’s rooftopstudios, Aurora and I recorded the song , there were many beautiful vibes there, immortalized by the photography and videos of Luca Viviano. They were moments to get to know our art in the best possible way, which apparently seems different but in reality turned out to be very similar.
The music video was filmed at Palazzo della Marra in Barletta. Why did you choose this location?
I am very much in love with this artistic jewel, I wanted to pay homage to this splendid museum since I am a student of Literature, Arts and Entertainment at the University of Bari, I wanted my great passion (music) to be unique together with my great love for culture of my city and beyond.
What does the city of Barletta represent for you and how did you want to pay homage to it through the video?
It is a city with high potential, there are many artists who would like to express themselves, I invite all those who would like to express their art to do so without problems and defeat their fears. In the video that you will find in the future on our social channels, we paid homage to the famous courtyard of the museum and the staircases covered in famous frescoes that make it even more magical.
Can you share any interesting anecdotes or behind the scenes from filming the video?
The rain certainly didn’t help us that day, but despite everything we brought the work home!
Do you have other projects in the pipeline?
I am someone who ranges a lot across genres, now I will enjoy the release of this fantastic song, certainly with Aurora we have new projects in mind also for the live aspect. So it would be a good reason to follow us on social media to find out the next news!
