Who is Settembre, winner of the New Proposals of Sanremo
The young artist with his fresh and modern style, is increasingly increasing the number of people who follow him on social media and the listeners on Spotify and YouTube. "I don't believe it, thanks to everyone. I'm not used to it: I won in life because I have a family that loves me, I have a roof over my head. I won in that, I have never won in this. Many people didn't believe in me and I didn't believe in myself because of them".
These are the first hot words of September, after having swept the New Proposals. Vertebre also won the ninth edition of the Premio Nuovo Imaie Enzo Jannacci “for the communicative research, combined with the scratchy and sincere vocality. The song combines the freshness of the vocal timbre and the search for dramatic sounds that emphasize the communicative result”. Today the first album is released digitally, with 7 songs, 4 of which are unreleased”.
The song, intense and personal, talks about the vulnerability to which our emotions expose us. “No one has ever told us how to cry at our age/ No one has ever told us how to laugh at our age”. Written by Andrea Settembre, with Manuel Finotti and Laura Di Lenola, it is produced by Gorbaciof and BNJMN with the artistic direction of Carlo Avarello. At the Sanremo Festival, Fabio Barnaba conducts the orchestra.
