Gigi D’Alessio has no doubts: “Today young people are more afraid than we were at their age.” A fear that is not right is good. «My experience – he says in an interview with Il Giornale – tells me that if, in our profession, we only think about the market, it means that we no longer think about music». And that’s what’s happening, and that’s what hurts the new generations who suffer if they can’t get streaming on the platforms.
Gigi D’Alessio: «I’m afraid of the earthquake in Naples. Sanremo? Now I’m focused on my new album”
The new album
But between Gigi and the new generations there is a huge difference. Huge. «They receive everything quickly, we have built every little brick step by step, understanding the value and weight of disappointments and sacrifices». Gigi earned his success day after day and now he returns to the stage with a new album: “Fra”. An album dedicated to Francesco, the last of his six children. «And then “fra” in Neapolitan – he tells Il Giornale – is equivalent to “bro” like the friends who sang on this album, from Alessandra Amoroso to Elodie. Finally, it is “between” one album and another, given that it is the first half of a project that will have a sequel.”
With him there will also be the voices of Guè, Clementino and Geolier. «Guè is a sort of brother and Clementino and Geolier are symbols of Neapolitan song. When I sang for the first time in Sanremo, over twenty years ago, they almost wanted to censor the Neapolitan verses of my song. Today Neapolitan is a language that is sung throughout Italy.”
Sanremo
Chapter Sanremo Festival. «Sanremo is once again successful and is seen by young people because today you can find us from Ricchi e Poveri to Geolier». Does this mean that Gigi d’Alessio is also back with Carlo Conti? «It remains the largest and most beautiful showcase of Italian music, but now I think about the album and the tour that follows not only in Italy but also in Europe. Then I believe that one goes to the Festival if he has a project. For now I’m not thinking about it but I wish Conti good luck.”
