«I was a porter at the concert on May 1st and now I’m on stage. I bought a house in Los Angeles, I dream big”

It all started in Rome. And from the capital, from the concert on May 1st, Achille Lauro wants to start again. For him it is the third time on that stage, this time at the Circus Maximus. Corriere della Sera remembers everything. The first time «I sang Beauty and the Beast, piano and voice, one of the peak moments of my career. 2019 was the year of Rolls Royce. Crazy, me with a super band and a river of people.” A special day and not only because it is Labor Day (“For me it is a serious issue because I come from a world where people break their backs and have to assert their rights”) because as a boy Achille was a porter for the Concertone.

The house in the USA

Today, after touring America between New York and Los Angeles, he bought a house in Beverly Hills. And «feeling like nobody made me want to dream even bigger. I wrote many songs, of all types.” And there she met great artists. «I was at Vasco’s house in Los Angeles, it was beautiful, a film – he continues to tell Corriere della Sera – Between us there are meeting points that go beyond music. We are unpredictable, out of control, we don’t care about people’s expectations.” And Jovanotti? «Like Vasco, he is a great communicator».

For the new album he still asks for time. But he doesn’t rule out the release of singles: «I’ve always liked being in the water where I don’t touch and I will continue to do so. Sometimes people, when they reach a certain level, allow themselves to be manipulated by the market and bend to its rules. In recent months I have understood that we invented the rules.” Certainly «I have no intention of remaining imprisoned in the cliché of the music that the market expects from me».

The message to Sangiovanni

Finally he sends a message to Sangiovanni who has decided to stop. «Think about how you started, they noticed you because you were yourself, unique. They are proof that you can do what you want and get results. The song that sticks isn’t always sales-related, like beach singles. And they will remember you for a song that is not the Ballo del qua qua.”
