«I’m afraid of the earthquake in Naples. Sanremo? Now I’m focused on my new album”

Music, Sanremo and earthquakes. These are the themes addressed by Gigi D’Alessio during the presentation of his new album “Fra”. Responding to journalists who asked him what he was afraid of as a man and as an artist, the singer expressed concern for the seismic phenomena occurring in the Neapolitan area. «As a man I am now afraid of the earthquake in Naples because they are phenomena that we cannot control», said the author.

Gigi D’Alessio, the arrested tax official: «The practice? I took 20 thousand euros.” The singer: «False, I will sue»

The presentation of the album

«As a man I am afraid of what Naples is experiencing – said Gigi D’Alessio -. While artistically perhaps today the fear is that of being misunderstood, as happened to poor Alessandra Amoroso who was crucified for a denied photo. We artists are continually filmed and are at risk of this, so I’m afraid of not being understood as a person.” Finally, the concern «is for the future of our children. I am not at all happy that they are on social media from morning to night and the mobile phone has become an addiction, we live it in all our homes”, concluded the singer, responding to journalists during the presentation of his new album, “Fra”. . Then there’s space for the Sanremo Festival, which «always remains the most beautiful showcase for our music, but now I’m focused on the new album project. I say that you have to go to Sanremo not only if you have the song but also if you have a project – he added -. At the moment I’m not thinking about it because I have this “Fra” project and there will also be a European tour: we’ll do around twenty dates at the end of February and the beginning of March.” So «this is not my project, but I wish Carlo Conti good luck who will certainly have a great festival», he concluded.

The last job

Three simple letters that contain a world, that of Gigi D’Alessio, who presents his new album “Fra”, out today (GGD Edizioni Srl/Sony Music). Conceived as if it were a playlist to be listened to from start to finish, “Fra” flows quickly with its 10 tracks that range from new songs to unforgettable hits: timeless songs from D’Alessio’s repertoire, adapted to today’s sound and enriched from many unreleased featuring. “Fra” is a title that contains everything: Fra like Francesco, one of the singer-songwriter’s sons, but also a reference to Naples where “Fra” is equivalent to the Milanese “Bro”, i.e. brother, like the friends who sang with Gigi in the album. From Geolier, with whom the single “Senza Tuccà” was created, up to Clementino, Ernia, Elodie, Alessandra Amoroso, Guè. And finally it is Between one album and another, since it represents the first half of a project that will have a sequel. «Today Neapolitan is a language that is sung throughout Italy – explained the singer-songwriter at the presentation of the album -, despite when I did my first Sanremo 24 years ago in which I had a verse in Neapolitan that they told me to remove» . «Seeing that today all of Italy sings in the Neapolitan language is not only a source of pride, I’m happy about it – he added -. I don’t think the Neapolitan language in today’s music will be a passing fad because it works for its sound, and by mixing it with the most modern and current sounds, Neapolitan arrives first, even if you don’t understand it.” The Neapolitan language «has the gift of synthesis – he concluded – and in one sentence you can enclose a world».
