Dinosauri (distributed by Artist First) is the title of Cabrio's new single, out digitally and on radio on May 20th.
" The song plays on fantastical, paradoxical, and colorful images, yet it's melancholy and nostalgic, born from feeling trapped in this reality, " Cabrio says. " How many times have we found ourselves thinking about the past? So many, and too often we can't tear our attention away from what was and what now, inevitably, is no longer there. What happens around us has a tremendous impact on our moods."
Over the past two years, we've found ourselves in the midst of a pandemic and, now, a war that's also destroying us economically. Reality and the present are recounted in the second verse of the song, where life's events take on a more lived-in, current, and responsible tone. However, one certainty remains at the beginning and end of the song... the dinosaurs are extinct.
The song was written by Cabrio with the participation of the Tuscan singer-songwriter Guzzi and composed by Cabrio himself together with Antonio Stella and Stefano Radice. The latter, a member of Moscova, also took care of the mixing and mastering. The guitars were entrusted to the expert hands of Domenico Giordano, also of Moscova. The song was recorded at Loud Studio in Bovisio Masciago (MB) and Cabrio's Studio in Messina (ME).
Always very creative and prolific, Cabrio has often released singles that have never been part of his albums: “Il profeta lo scritto” (2017), “Io ci voglio credere” feat. Ricky Portera (2017), “Fly” feat. Dinastia (2017), “Fly” feat.
