‘Flop’, after three years the new album by rapper Salmo

Today ‘Flop’, the new album by rapper Salmo, is released, three years after ‘Playlist’ which earned him six platinum records. ‘Flop’ contains 17 unreleased tracks, which combine the artist’s more rap soul with rock, pop and electronic ones; The underlying theme, as the title suggests, is the theme of failure, which with all its nuances still marks the life of every human being. Psalm faces what is perhaps also the greatest fear of every artist. In the introductory notes, we talk about “an album that continually shifts the balance of the public, disorients them, leading them into the mirrored rooms of the thousand artistic souls of Salmo, here left free to express themselves like never before. A mature record, eccentric, out of the canons of genre; the stainless flow, which has always continued to revolutionize Italian rap, is joined and alternated by vocal openings, darting guitars and electronic couplings that lead the listener on an endless sonic roller coaster, full of ideas , against the current and outside the box “. To accompany the Sardinian rapper on this journey to the roots of failure, an exceptional trio: Marracash, Gué Pequeno, Noyz Narcos, in addition to the voice of Shari, a young promise of the Italian scene. The cover of ‘Flop’ is a quote from ‘The Fallen Angel’ by Alexandre Cabanel, an oil on canvas dated 1868 depicting Lucifer at the exact moment of his fall. (By Enzo Bonaiuto)
