The song combines characteristic Neapolitan melodies with a direct and incisive text in Italian, narrating the apathy that often surrounds crimes that are foretold rather than truly surprising. The single “Chronicles of a Death Forewarned” will be available to listen to on digital platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music starting at midnight on January 27.
