Success caressed him together seven years ago, entering, thanks to Black Swan e Magnificent, in the heart and in the belly of the public with naturalness, grinding record after record and keeping intact the freshness and humility that have always distinguished them. Now, after two artistic paths full of prizes and satisfactions, the voices of Fedez and Francesca Michielin meet again on the occasion of the 71st Sanremo Festival, which will see the first ever participation for Fedez and the second for Francesca, who had finished second in 2016 with No degree of separation. The song, this time, is called Call me by Name, was written by Federico himself and Francesca herself together with Mahmood, Davide Simonetta and Alessandro Raina and was born from the desire to strengthen a friendship that, over the years, has grown stronger and stronger.
«Federico and I collaborated a long time ago. We were certainly younger, but now as then our desire to do something beautiful through music is strong. If I look back, we have changed a lot, we have grown, we have followed our paths, but it is still us, with the same desire to show us how we are “says Francesca Michielin, recalling when, during the lockdown, she was invited live on Instagram to perform her own by Fedez. “I can’t wait to go back to perform at the Ariston and being with him on that stage is a great gift” Michielin insists, fresh from the release of Feat (State of nature), the album boldly released at the start of the lockdown.
Instead, Federico is more agitated, but full of desire to do: «The Festival has made a huge leap in quality in recent years and has returned to represent the current state of Italian music, in all its contemporaneity. We hadn’t heard from Francesca for a while and we found ourselves during the first lockdown, thanks to one of the direct IGs that were made from the balconies. After that occasion, we talked about the future, what we would like to do and in the end we are here, together. In a year without concerts, The Festival is the only great opportunity to sing live “ explains Fedez who, after a break from the music scene, is back in all his glory with singles, certified double platinum, Children on the street e Nice story. Now all that remains is to compete together with the stage of the Ariston Theater, trying to keep intact the energy that accompanied the artists at the beginning of their career.
