Summer has just begun, while the rays of the sun light up the surrounding nature and warm the cocktails well placed next to the deck chairs. Put aside restrictions and dark times, dellacasa maldive celebrates the return to life with the brand new single Voglio Solo Stare Fuori All’Aria Aperta (in English, the title sounds like I Just Wanna Stay Out In The Fresh Air), to be released on June 25th, 2021 for the independent record label La Valigetta.
The song combines the need to be in the nature and together with friends, immersed in all those experiences of individual growth that existence is able to offer. The sound is a breath of fresh air: disco funky groove with a 70s imprinting and cosmic arpeggiators transport the pop melodies into a magical and dreamy dimension, with a little, playful homage to David Bowie of Fashion. The videoclip was directed by Camilla Mazzocato.
dellacasa maldive is the Italian music project by Riccardo Dellacasa, multi-instrumentalist born in 1991 and active between Paris, Milan, and Venice, where he wrote, arranged, produced and mixed the new single during the winter of 2020/2021. The years spent on stage, together with Wemen, Emmanuelle and Verano, have contributed to a conscious process of stylistic research which looks beyond any geographical border.
The result is an encounter between electronics, psychedelia and lo-fi, inspired by artists such as ESG, Funkadelic, Larry Gus, The Holydrug Couple and many others. It’s music to sing and dance. Following an approach devoted to essentiality and to total freedom of expression, Riccardo has developed the tracks that will be included in the new album coming next autumn, following the debut album Amore Italiano, mixed by Marco Fasolo from Jennifer Gentle and released in 2019.
dellacasa maldive travels musically between New York, Manchester, Paris, Abuja and Malé, tracing a personal map of references for an imaginary place to visit listen after listen.
