The singer-songwriter presents the new album “Fra” and the Italian and European tour to FqMagazine
It’s simply called “Between” the new album by Gigi D’Alessio with 10 songs ranging from new songs to hits enriched by many new collaborations with Alessandra Amoroso, Clementino, Elodie, Ernia, Geolier, Guè and their son LDA. “I wanted to make this album in anticipation of my Italian and international tour to give something more to my audience – said Gigi – It is the first half of a record because Fra was born from the song for Francesco, ‘fra’ are the brothers who are on the record. Looking at the cover, then, there are many small polaroids that signify fragments of life.”
The name of Gigi D’Alessio had been mentioned as a possible host and artistic director of the next Sanremo Festival 2025: “I’m pleased – he stated to FqMagazine –, but I wouldn’t have been able to, especially because I’m very good friends with many artists. Carlo Conti is a great professional and has musical taste, he proved it. Both he and Amadeus they were disc jockeys. Also Baglioni he made a beautiful musical revolution.”
Lots of live events starting from the 8 sold out concerts of “Gigi – Uno come te – L’economia continua” in Naples from 7 June. “All the guests of this latest album of mine will be there – said D’Alessio – we will have a big party with my audience and we will record the first two evenings for the broadcast on June 13th on Rai 1”.
“Young people today are more afraid of us because they receive everything quickly – continued Gigi – we built every little brick step by step, savoring the flavor of disappointment and sacrifice. I have the example at home of my son (LDA, ed.), to whom I told him to follow his path, to have his disappointments and defeats because only in this way can he have the desire to react. What we are building with so many young people in depression for a thousand less streams is not beautiful, it cannot become a continuous competition. You have to study music, today those pillars that must be placed in the rock and not in the sand are missing because with the first storm they go away. The use of artificial intelligence is fine if it helps cure diseases, but if it enables you to compose a song in 15 seconds it means you’ve lost everyone”
Finally, D’Alessio’s thoughts go to all the people who live in the Campi Flegrei and all the Neapolitans terrified by the continuous earthquakes: “I’m afraid of what’s happening, because it’s something we can’t control. I’m afraid of what Naples is experiencing right now. I am afraid of the future for our children“.
