“Animal Instinct” by Don Joe with Guè, Annalisa and Ernia: pop that looks at the origins of rap

We try so hard to talk about love, but much less to talk about how deep down we are a bit like those who live in the jungle: sometimes instinct dominates reason and our “forever” are tainted by the more frequent “here and now”. “Animal instinct” Of Don Joe it tells exactly this and does so by choosing a sound that, in its samples, is located at the origins of rap. The entire rhythmic structure of the song – in collaboration with Gué and its combinations of ingenious rhymes, elegance Annalisa it’s a Hernia in very good shape – they tell the fascinating facets of a life made of poorly thought out choices.

It is a brilliant and very fresh song, but not built on the classic dynamics of the summer hit, it was born and arrives at a truly bizarre moment for Don Joe. After the enormous success in the arenas with Club Dogo and the enormous impact of the album of the same name at the beginning of 2024, he returns with an anomalous, original song, with the vibrations of an instinctive creative process and unequivocal power. He has always brought the dynamics of rap to the general public in a never banal way with his taste. In this piece he does it with precious elegance and value.
