so, more about supermodel. well, with their onstage charisma it does seem more interesting and perhaps with live instruments it will take a new form but the fact remains that what was released is a short overpolished track that hardly contains the strong, heavy instrumental sound that drew many of us in the first place. without damiano’s characteristic voice, there wouldn’t be much making it a måneskin song. if it was any other artists’ song it could be their greatest hit but knowing how much more they’re capable of, this doesn’t cut it. i don’t know how much of it is due to the producers or to them, perhaps bc mammamia didn’t chart as well as they hoped (which not all of us loved but was so clearly theirs) but what’s clear is that this
Tumblr media
will never sound as authentic and complex as

i fucking hate american hegemony over everything, where “global” success means ~making it in america~ and that means diluting what makes them appealing. i know this probably seems overdramatic over one song that i hope will be a blip in their career but it’s frustrating that not so long ago damiano was saying that he wouldn’t let someone else write for him and yet just 3 months in LA does what everyone could see coming but was hoping wouldn’t result in this. they say the song is a criticism of the LA culture and yet in all honesty does anyone actually get that from the lyrics?
and they’ve done 10 songs with this guy! yes i’ve also read the interview where vic says there will be songs written just by them but i fucking hate that that won’t be a given anymore! what i wouldn’t give to hear the “teatro d’ira vol. 2” that they “finished” last summer bc this release makes me certain that what we get won’t be no vol. 2
and finally i just can’t get over not performing zitti e buoni at fucking eurovision?!? laura pausini introduces them as the rock n roll we needed and they proceed to not even play the beloved song that brought them here in the first place?!? there’s really no excuse. i’m not saying they should keep doing the same thing over and over but when you won over the audience with an angry italian song coming back a year later to play a much lighter song and a goddamn elvis presley cover(?!?) instead is quite jarring. i was wondering how they’re gonna transition between ZeB and supermodel, well they avoided that altogether 🤡🤡
and like, i saw them in verona. i saw how they utterly delight in the hard and heavy, the extended solos, their power of just 3 instruments with my own eyes. even if you say that’s just their own home gig they’ve been doing these at festivals and shows in the us as well. they also all seem excited about supermodel but i feel like there’s a disconnect between the må that loves thrashing on stage and the må that wants to have top radio hits and i wish it could be possible all at once
