The singer-songwriter was interviewed by Leggo and also spoke about how he sees today’s music
There has been a lot of talk about him in recent days because there is no maturity without his Night before exams. One of the many unforgettable pieces written by Antonello Venditti that was told and I read and who also talked about ‘chart’ music. A critical look, his, but not so much towards the protagonists but towards the so-called “song factory”, i.e. the hit factory in which producers and authors create the songs that will dominate the charts and assign them to performers. So here’s Venditti, speaking of Annalisa, said: “These young people are good: I know how to do what they do, but they don’t know how to do what I do. Unlike us, they are pierced by deadlines, they are afraid of being forgotten. Take Annalisa: she is a very good singer, but she was forced by the market to become something other than itself. Also Angelina Mango. Fantastic performers and then there’s someone who decides the sound for everyone.” In short, the singer-songwriter also underlines how the way of working on songs (and records) has changed over the years. “I am one of the lucky ones who has always carried his story with him. My songs are still contemporary, timeless. I am the anthem of Roma and I have written songs that will remain forever. In fact, in a few years, they will forget about me and the songs that will become by an anonymous Roman will remain.”
