These are intense days for the author, musician, composer, producer and arranger Davide Simonetta, very busy between the new studio being set up in Milan, the wedding to prepare with Veronica Ferraro, new songs to create and innovative, different artistic paths to explore. Ah… so as not to miss anything, Davide also worked on the new Inter anthem.”I had a dream”, the Nerazzurri hit sung by Tananai (a great Inter fan), Rose Villain and Madame. Furthermore, among many other things to focus on, there is “Storie brevi” to be launched, the summer single that marks the first collaboration of Annalisa and Tananai, a song written by Simonetta da Bagnolo Cremasco and Paolo Antonacci (it will be Davide’s best man). Well let’s start from here…
Do you know that the duet Tananai and Annalisa is very intriguing?
It’s not the classic summer hit, the typical hit with the drum straight, but it’s a non-seasonal song, a bit Seventies, a bit like Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue (musical synergy of the mid-nineties, ed.): I really appreciate this collaboration. “Storie Vivi” is a mix of feelings that range from nostalgia to reflection on the superficiality of modern relationships, passing through a strong connection between two people who, like “black cats”, feel isolated from the rest of the world. I am, so to speak, in an experimental artistic phase, while remaining in the Pop field I want to look for other ideas, to do different things, to get out of my comfort zone. You know that I collaborated in the creation of the Inter anthem released in recent weeks, after Inter’s twentieth scudetto. The Nerazzurri team is light years ahead in the field of communication.
Annalisa is writing important pages in Italian music. Yet there are those who say it should change gender…
Music is a bit like football: everyone talks about it, so let’s let them talk. Me, her and Paolo Antonacci think together as if we were a band and we know what to do. And on the horizon there is his new album to be put together. She is doing extraordinary, incredible things Annalisa. Her record-breaking concerts are all sold out and are characterized by wonderful, unique collaborations, such as the duet with Tananai at the Verona Arena where they thrilled by singing Tango.
Do you still go back and forth on the Paullese along the Milan-Bagnolo route and vice versa?
Yes, the Crema countryside is my center of the world, I can’t stay away from Bagnolo. However, by the end of the year my recording studio in Milan should be ready and it will be a very instrumental space, that is, with instruments, including drums, to play. I come from that school after all. Those following the works told me that it will be very similar to the artistic headquarters of Maestro Lucio Fabbri, who is also from Crema.
