In ‘I was romantic’ Arisa’s path of freedom between flesh, spirit and love

A path of freedom in music with a voice able to be recognized, but also to amaze again. As always true, direct and more courageous than ever in bringing to light every inner facet also through an eroticism with which she definitively frees herself from any possible label. She is Arisa. Not definable, except through chromatic scales where the soul meets the body of this artist who rediscovers herself by embracing the world, where the choice to love in the round resonates in every piece, in the voice that gives itself completely and does not hide. nothing, melancholy, sensuality, humanity, will to live, the pursuit of pleasure, spirituality, claiming the right to be herself. And his album ‘Ero Romantica’, out on November 26, marks this freedom of being different sounds, colors, different needs. The freedom to be many ‘Arisa’ and only one, through 11 songs in which she modulates her voice, much more than in the past, fluctuating on the frequencies of feelings that each song gives voice. ‘Maddalena’, a symbolic song of the record, “speaks of one of the greatest misunderstandings in history regarding the female gender – Arisa tells Adnkronos – She was the woman closest to Jesus, the one who also supported him economically. that she was a rich woman and that she had left her family to follow him. A free woman and for this reason badly seen, destined, according to the religious men of the time, to suffer in hell because she was considered a sinner. A metaphor, therefore, ‘Magdalene’ to describe all the misunderstanding that there was towards the female gender at the dawn of history and then later when men, out of fear, put her at a disadvantage. a strong feminine sensibility, they have an edge “. Author of some songs together with others such as Giuseppe Anastasi, who returns to collaborate with the Lucanian artist after having signed some of his successes, Arisa is the absolute” director “of this this album that she herself releases with her own independent label, Pipshow – under exclusive license to Believe Artist Services. An album that collects, therefore, many novelties, passing from melancholy and dreamy love ballads to joyful 90s dance rhythms up to unpublished rap phrases with which Arisa moves with absolute nonchalance. A versatility that brings to light a hidden side: “I’ve always done research, I like to research myself in different styles, see how I feel. It’s like when I change my look and dress. I’m a person who loves to live, loves to change and loves to deepen. I’m curious and I try to spend my time doing beautiful things for myself and for others. I do not distance styles. I am not a person who turns up his nose because he is not. I try to be, always “. Change, therefore, is one of the keywords of this artist and of the upcoming album. And among the changes there is also the protagonism of her sensuality which has entered the scene in a disruptive way, especially since she accepted the challenge of ‘B allando con le Stelle’, the program by Milly Carlucci broadcast on Rai1: “Mi sta helping tremendously to the dance experience. Being in contact with this other human race, which are the dancers, who are flowers, always ready to share their body, their sensuality, their emotions is pleasing me a lot. And then at my age, 40, you have to get a move on, look at yourself and understand what’s wrong and also discover your own cards, everyone has their own. And ‘Dancing with the stars’, also in this regard, I recommend it to everyone ”. What is the figure of this new album for Arisa? “This record is the sum of many aspects of a single person. We love to catalog ourselves, give and give ourselves labels, but labels do not exist because each of us is everything. We are part of the whole, but we are also the whole. said that a romantic person cannot also be strongly erotic and an erotic person cannot have wisdom and a sense of motherhood. I wanted to express my different facets and I think this belongs to everyone. to love, the moment you want to enjoy, the moment you want to be closer to mankind, wiser “. In the experience of ‘Dancing with the Stars’, of which Arisa has proposed some reflections in the Instagram stories in terms of friendships off the small screen, the Lucanian singer gave the opportunity to better contact her authenticity and her heart, even in the relationship with other women: “In my opinion, women are looking for affection and confirmation. If you are honest, the woman even if she is skeptical at first, then she believes you and opens up. I am very proactive in this sense. We are all looking for love, therefore, when I see a person who has an attitude of distrust, I try to give her confirmation, I do not close myself in turn. I’m always the one taking the first step. “And is love in Arisa’s life right now?” I’m always in love with someone. And beyond things go well, this makes me live in a state of grace “. ‘Ero Romantica’, ‘Psycho’, ‘Agua de Coco’, ‘Swings’, ‘Maddalena’, ‘Werewolf’, ‘Heart’, ‘The house of possible love’, ‘Nettle’, ‘Could you do more’ and ‘Noah’s Ark’ make up the tracklist of the album produced by Jason Rooney with the co-production of Giuseppe Barbera in ‘Licantropo’ , ‘Heart’, ‘The House of Possible Love’, ‘Noah’s Ark’, all songs written by Anastasi, while ‘Psycho’ and ‘Swings’ were produced by Danusk. ‘Magdalene’ sees the production of both Danusk that Jason Rooney’s ‘Could you do more’ (written by Gigi D’Alessio and performed at the Sanremo Festival 2021) was produced by Adriano Pennino. An album, says Arisa, behind which “there are years and years because I’ve always had the difficulty of making others understand that I’m not just one thing. “Meanwhile, ‘Dancing with the stars’ continues and the record will be released the day before the next episode on Rai1. The thought goes thus to Mietta: “It was a great loss for the program. She is a great friend and a really nice person. Certainly, however, ‘Dancing with the stars’ is a competition and who first, who later, we will go everyone away. There will, however, be a repechage and I hope that Mietta will be among the people rescued “. (by Veronica Marino)
