Rossana is the name of a loved one who has passed away. ROSSANA is the new electro avant-pop concept album by Francesco Perissi XO – producer, sound designer and multi-instrumentalist from Florence – out on September 18, 2020 and anticipated by the first singles wordless and the new fxxk, now available on Bandcamp.
ROSSANA contains a symbolic imagery of the emotional sphere of affectivity, often marked by destructive and constructive impulses. Mourning can be defined as the psychological state following the loss of someone or something which has been a significant and integral part of existence. The description of these processes occurs through five progressive phases, borrowed from Swiss psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross (1926-2004), describing the overcoming of a traumatic event: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance. In ROSSANA each phase is represented in its sensations by two tracks, for a total of ten tracks.
f **k represents the peak point of the anger phase, but it is also the link for the next bargaining process. Looking for the term “fuck” on some English dictionaries, we will find it written with asterisks, just like in the title of the song. It is both an offense and a vulgar-style definition of the sexual act. The lyrics are inspired by a list of “objectives to be achieved”, useful tricks for improving the relationship with yourself and the outside world. A bit as if we had a compass which points the way when we feel lost.
