Axel Blue, in collaboration with ELLE, releases “Nightstar” (Red Owl Records/Visory Records/Thaurus), his new single available in all digital stores.
The song, written by the two artists and produced by WYDE, is a dedication of love to one's partner, but also to all those people who feel in their hearts the desire to be light, beacon and hope in the dark moments that cross the lives of their loved ones.
Thanks to a smooth flow and meaningful bars, elements that have distinguished his releases since the beginning, Axel Blue envelops the listener in delicacy and feeling, but in his own way: slang and cinematographic references are the wings of the dreamy and experimental imagination of the Roman rapper, who chooses to merge his pen with that of Elle for an absolutely original result, distant from any definition of musical genre and labels, but close only to the deepest part of us, that intimate and precious side that we show only to those who accept to be part of it without judging, to those who rejoice with and for us and for whom it is worth shining, illuminating not only our path, but also theirs, thus becoming a star that shines with its own light, without trying to turn off those next to it to stand out in the dark, but rather illuminating them, because together we make more light, because together, the glow, has a better, wonderful color.
And the stars, to whom we entrust dreams, hopes and desires, sometimes listen to us – «you are inside all my dreams, dream land, not many believed in it, now I toast with mine» -, but to become like them it is necessary to keep in mind our past, the people who helped us get up in difficult moments and to fulfill ourselves – «I send a kiss to grandma, look I'm a nightstar» -, because only in this way can we become light and guide, because only in this way can we make others dream, in turn – «close your eyes tonight and Rome will be ours too» -, without the need to dress them in futile sequins – «you don't need that chic stuff that you are the end of the world» -, because in the eyes of those who love us, we are able to always shine, with our qualities, our defects and with everything we carry in our hearts – «I don't want anything anymore just to see you laugh» -.
"I define myself as a "star boy" - says Axel Blue -, that is, a "stellar boy", because music has the ability to make me escape from everything. "Nightstar", like all my previous works, was born at night, because the sky, the moon, the stars, give me inspiration and put me in a position to relax, to write better. I hope, through my songs, to bring listeners into this bright and personal world of mine, giving comfort and lightheartedness to those who need it".
After participating and winning the two “XTREME RECORDS CONTESTS” by CaneSecco and collaborating with him on the creation of several songs, later published on the YouTube channel “XTreme Vision”, and the creation of three singles released during 2020, Axel Blue, with his trusted producer Wyde, returns to give voice to his inner world with that touch of authorial and compositional experimentation that leads him to move away from any type of classification and definition, finding his space, his artistic identity, within a new musical universe in which innovation, feelings and expressive urgency reign supreme.
Axel Blue born in Rome in 1999. He approached music during his first years at high school, with a strong aptitude for freestyle and the underground scene. In 2016 he met Wyde, who became his official producer and between them a strong professional understanding immediately sparked: Wyde's works are original, unique, never banal and are the perfect frame for Axel Blue's bars, who thus decided to start his journey in the music market. In 2018, "Na na na" was released, the first official single of the Roman rapper (at the time under the pseudonym Blue), which achieved considerable success and pushed him to participate in, and win, the two contests of CaneSecco, the "XTREME RECORDS CONTEST". This experience led him not only to meet an artist, his fellow citizen, present on the national scene since the 90s, but also to work with him for the creation of several songs, later published on the YouTube channel "XTreme Vision". In 2020, Axel Blue released three songs, “Scusami”, “Fiori nel deserto” and “Ci sto dentro” (feat. Kevin Misfit, Arhyma and Wave), followed the following year by “Nighstar” (feat. Elle), which marked for him not only a new beginning marked by an acquired artistic maturity, always alongside his trusted traveling companion Wyde, but also the signing of his first record deal with Red Owl Records / Visory Records / Thaurus. Axel Blue's music thus finds its perfect dimension, a unique mix of originality, experimentation and flow that, song after song, leads him to create and outline his very personal style, free of any label and characterized exclusively by personality, storytelling and expressive ability.
