  El 1 de septiembre  Måneskin lanzaba su nuevo single, Honey (Are U coming?), que presentará en los VMAs . El nuevo sencillo de la banda italiana viene después de terminar el Loud Kids gets louder  tour y continuar con el Rush!  Tour, la gira de su cuarto álbum de estudio. Sin embargo, de Rush! apenas queda nada. El disco ha conseguido ser el álbum peor valorado por Pitchfork en lo que va de año y tampoco ha logrado un buen éxito comercial. El grupo parece dar como cerrado este capítulo, presentando nuevo single y haciéndolo en los Video Music Awards.  Honey (Are U Coming?)  aparece como gancho para reconectar con Maneskin.     Aunque la banda continúa con el giro americano de su carrera, volviéndose habitual en los VMAs y cantando en Inglés, Honey regresa a Italia en su videoclip. El vídeo ha sido rodado en el Gazometro de Roma y aunqu e pueda parecer ser sencillo, es bastante resultón: La banda aparece tocando, como lo harían en vivo, y lo acompañan de efectos fotográficos y de ju

Este año los premios se celebrarán a mediados de septiembre en lugar de a finales de agosto, como era costumbre. Antes de ayer se revelaron las nominaciones a los premios  MTV Video Music Awards , que han llegado más tarde de lo habitual, ya que se ha pospuesto la fecha de la gala. El anuncio de los nominados se produce después de que la ceremonia haya ido perdiendo relevancia, audiencia e impacto en los últimos años.  Existen varios problemas en las nominaciones de los últimos años y es que , por una parte, uno no se aclara de si se nominan los vídeos o las canciones . Con los nombres de Best Pop o Best R&B es difícil distinguir, pero más aún las categorías de Mejor colaboración y de Artista del Año . Además, al leer los nominados, se tiene la sensación de nominar en muchas ocasiones nombres y no la calidad de los vídeos ni de unas propuestas audiovisuales arriesgadas. Aunque sabemos que los VMAS premian lo pop y la esfera comercial, a veces es difícil encajar ciertos nombres (

 The 65th Grammy ceremony took place yesterday (Staples Center, L.A.). The Awards started been given before the 'big' ceremony, the one were the stars go, seat and perform and where the ' main' categories are given (The Big Four and the pop ones). This lead , as it happens every year in the Latin Grammys, to giving the awards while the celebrities are on their way to the Grammys or, like it has happened to Bebe Rexha, while they are arriving to the red carpet. In consequence,  most of the Grammys that Beyoncé took home yesterday were given in this other ceremony ( Best R&B Song for 'Cuff It', Best Traditional R&B Performance for 'Plastic Off The Sofa' and Best Dance Recording for Break My Soul). Even  the singer posted a photo with the awards before the main ceremony had place. That's why they should unify most awards in one ceremony, at least, some of the genres categories (like EDM, hip-hop, rock, latin or country), because these genre

Both Maneskin and Tananai have returned with new singles this October and we couldn't finish the month without talking about them: Tananai released an unexpected ballad a few weeks ago, 'ABISSALE' as a single. It is surprising because, as I said in my previous post about the Italian artist , he usually includes some humor in his songs and in his videos, but in Abissale there is not a trace. The single comes after releasing 'Pasta' and reigning on the Italian chart throughout the summer with Fedez and Mara Sattei on 'Dolce Vita'. Abissale is an honest, heartfelt piece reminiscent of 2000s Italian balladry and Italian cantautori genre, tapping into Tananai's gruff voice. In it, he talks about how special the girl he is in love with is and how he has tried to be special to be by her side, but he has not succeeded. The text is simple but very poetic , framed by that negative sky that appears on the single’s artwork. The video, directed by Borotalco,

Tanto Maneskin como Tananai han vuelto con nuevos singles este mes de octubre y no podíamos acabar el mes sin hablar de ellos: Tananai lanzó hace unas semanas una inesperada balada , ‘ABISSALE’, como single. Sorprende porque , como dije en mi anterior post sobre el artista italiano , este acostumbra a incluir algo de humor en sus canciones y en sus vídeos, pero en Abissale no hay ni rastro. El single llega después de lanzar ‘Pasta’ y luego de reinar en la lista italiana durante todo el verano con Fedez y Mara Sattei en ‘Dolce Vita’.  Abissale es una pieza honesta, sincera que recuerda  a la balada italiana de los 2000s  y  a cantautor italiano, aprovechando la voz ronca de Tananai . En ella, se habla de lo especial que es la chica de la que está enamorado y como él ha intentado ser también especial para estar a su lado, pero no lo ha conseguido. El texto es sencillo pero muy poético , enmarcado por ese cielo en negativo que recoge la portada del sencillo . El vídeo, dirigido po

 A few weeks ago, on March 19, it was the one year anniversary of Teatro D'Ira Vol. 1 , the second album from Maneskin . The project came just a couple of weeks after winning Sanremo, a commercial technique that is often used to make the most of the contestants' stardom - like Irama has done with Il giorno in cui ho smesso di pensare - On the album, Maneskin tried to fulfill and accomplish their best rock sound after the more pop Il ballo de la vita . Today, we focus on the first single from Teatro D'Ira  , VENT'ANNI, where the band melts in alt-rock guitars -forgetting hard rock for a while- to introduce ballad drums in the closing piece of the album.   Vent'anni is an authentic existentialist poem about the worries of people in their early twenties:  The ambition to leave a mark, idealism, the choices and mistakes we made, the opposition to materialism... Just in the first lines, Maneskin adresses the current topic of nonsense-drama associated with teenagers an

 The famous Italian Song Contest  returned to its original date and to the Ariston theater . Yesterday Sanremo 2022 started with the first twelve performances (the other 13 will have place tonight) to end with the Sala Stampa  (TV, radio and webs) voting, giving the first place to Mahmood & Blanco's Brividi. The winner will represent Italy at Eurovision, but that seems secondary. The impact of participating and winning Sanremo is bigger: You get cualified as an artist. Apart from that, is a true walkabout. Yesterday 10 million people watched the gala. Advertising, special guests and sketches and jokes  prolonged the gala and made it last more than four long hours, letting Rkomi and Ana Mena's  performances almost to the end of the show. Let's have a look to some moments of  the night! 1. Maneskin returns to the Festival after winning last year: It's been a crazy year for Maneskin and returning to the same, exact place where all started was hard for the band, with

 The MTV's Europe Music Awards are set to be celebrated on November 14th from Hungary. The nominations were revealed just a few days ago. Let's get into them! Best artist:  Doja Cat Ed Sheeran Justin Bieber Lady Gaga Lil Nas X The Weeknd Lady Gaga seems quite unfitting here. Her album Chromatica did not have such impact in Europe and if it's because of Rain On Me , it was nominated last year, so it makes no sense. Olivia Rodrigo would have made more sense here. Best video: Doja Cat ft. SZA – “Kiss Me More” Ed Sheeran – “Bad Habits” Justin Bieber – “Peaches” ft. Daniel Caesar, Giveon Lil Nas X – “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” Normani ft. Cardi B – “Wild Side” Taylor Swift – “willow" Throughout the whole list the nominations there are similarities with the nominees for the MTV's Vmas. An example is Normani's nomination. We all can agree that is a worked video, but it hasn't even entered in the UK's top 40.  Best collaboration: Black Eyed Peas, Shakira

The phenomenon is not only European: The Italian group scores their first entry on the Billbard HOT 100 with Beggin' (#78).  Since they won the Eurovision Song Contest, back in May, the band has experienced a huge ascent in popularity. Let's analyse the keys to this phenomenon step by step: 1.SUCCESS IN ITALY   Maneskin did not win X Factor (Italy) in 2017, but they were so close, and throughout the whole contest, they showed they had something special. In fact, they did since the very beginning: Their first audition felt like a freestyle and was later a track ( Chosen ) in their first project. The message of that song was basically  'I was born to do this', to be an artist. Damiano's fluency while moving onstage and the message did the rest and convinced the judges. Throughout the contest, they showed their passion for rock, covering The Killers' Somebody told me . They also covered Beggin ', their biggest hit yet.  Moreover, they did not only had the rock
