The singer-songwriter presented the new song at the Circus Maximus and made multiple appeals
Many expected invectives or some shocking phrases and yet Morgan he managed to overturn all the predictions, displaying shareable concepts on the stage of the Concertone del Primo Maggio. First of all, the singer-songwriter presented the new song with the unequivocal title “Burps”. A song-complaint against those who “publish burps”, a fierce criticism of the quality of the music that is the most popular in the charts in recent years. “It’s an invective in favor of the people and the music, the discography – said Morgan – has understood this and will be published by a major label, Warner, after 17 years. They came looking for me, they’re stalkers“.
During the live broadcast from Circo Massimo Morgan read on stage the praise of Italian music loved throughout the world (“allegro and adagio are two Italian words but they are used all over the world”) and an appeal for politics to increase its consideration of music. “Today is a day of celebration – he stated – because the workers are celebrating and I want to thank all the people who are working on this show. They are educated people who have no type of legal protection in this country. Because artists are not considered at all, they are not respected by politics. Not from politics but from the people yes because staying without music means having a worse life. This is your party, because you have worked and you want the show. We give a round of applause and tell the politicians that we Italians are inventors of music all over the world and leaving artists without legal protection in the hands of the vulgar shark market is not worthy of the Italy that must be“.
Then he sang “Altrove” and a duet with Naomi at the end, but the performance is faded at the end to leave the line to Tg 3. This is how Morgan commented on the television “cut”: “It was beautiful, very rock, even the news came on and I found it very avant-garde. It was perfect, as we had thought, otherwise I would have had to cut the song and I preferred to continue through the square”
Backstage there were those who asked about his possible return to X Factorafter last year’s heated controversy, Morgan responded: “Yes, I’ll be back but to destroy everything with an atomic bomb“. While on the Sanremo Festival 2025 he specified: “I would only bring a musical bomb there, because there is a need to detonate the musical energy. In Italy there is a lot of it, but it is sedated. We need to bring real music to that stage and not just economics. Music thrives on many things, not just success and money. Money is one of the elements of life, but this world is obsessed with it.”
Then the discussion moved on to current events and the artist’s work: “There is not only the possibility of transforming the dream into a real profession that makes the human being happier but also gives economic results, the work of music in Italy pays off. It is the eighth largest market in the world. You know who doesn’t realize this yet, politicians. For them, artists do not need laws and protections. Artists are underpaid, defamed, bullied, treated badly. The other states have noticed this, the United States protects and respects artists, there is intelligence that takes care of their protection”.
