Maneskin, New York Times: “Conquer the world with Simon Cowell?”

The Maneskins “won Eurovision. Can they conquer the world?” Who knows, maybe with the help of Simon Cowell? These are the questions that the New York Times asks itself in a long article dedicated to the Roman band, which is experiencing an extraordinary 2021: first the triumph in Sanremo, then the victory at Eurovision, again with the song Zitti e Buoni (Shut Up and Behave, translates the NYT) which landed in Spotify’s global Top 10, an absolute record for an Italian group, with over 100 million streams. The article traces the career of the quartet formed by Damiano David, Victoria De Angelis, Thomas Raggi and Ethan Torchio. From the beginning, to the X Factor adventure up to the definitive consecration this year. And now, the future with ambitions that go beyond the Italian borders. After the sudden divorce from the historic manager Marta Donà, the name of Simon Cowell, inventor of the X Factor format and creator of a series of artists, including One Direction, circulates.
