From intimacy to sharing. This is the path that has marked\u00a0Io so come sei riuscito a vivere senza gli altri<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0(in English,\u00a0I know how you managed to live without others<\/em>),\u00a0Alia<\/strong>‘s third official album, to be released on vinyl and digital on\u00a0May 13th, 2022<\/strong>\u00a0via\u00a0RadiciMusic Records<\/strong>. According to the Italian singer-songwriter and musician from Bergamo, now active in Prato, Tuscany: “I lost my brother in 2020, just before the pandemic. Although almost all the material came out before that event, I noticed that all the new songs looked in some way at the concept of memory. Lately I have been indulging in memories, I reject the acceleration and the two-dimensionality of contemporary pop narration, and I dedicate myself mainly to evocative listenings. It could be a momentary phase, but in any case I want to go along with it. Emil Cioran used to say that ‘<\/em>Nostalgia, more than anything, gives us the shudder of our own imperfection'”. Alessandro Curcio – this is Alia’s real name – chose an old family photo as cover image. The title of his new record is a little, indirect tribute to the endless favorite titles of Fiona Apple’s records, and suggests a transversal communication: is Alia addressing to himself, to Alessandro, to his brother, or maybe to the audience?<\/p>\n

Io so come sei riuscito a vivere senza gli altri\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>follows\u00a0the previous albums\u00a0Asteroidi<\/em>\u00a0of 2014 and\u00a0Giraffe<\/em>\u00a0of 2018, characterized by a common vertical tension, reaching towards sky, space, and spirituality. The new album, on the other hand, consists of nine songs selected from about twenty tracks composed and pre-produced between 2018 and 2020, subsequently entrusted to different producers. There is a plurality of views at the service of an overall picture. “In this self-reported and broken world-music, I decided that this time I would work exclusively with some producers, also involving them in the role of musicians<\/em>“. So, the\u00a0producers<\/strong>\u00a0are Ruben Kielmannsegge (Spanish producer, from Madrid), Fabio Rizzo (owner of the label 800A Records, guitarist\/singer of the band Waines, musician with Fabrizio Cammarata & The Second Grace, artistic producer for Il Pan del Diavolo, Dimartino, Black Eyed Dog and many others), Luca Urbani (musician, producer and composer, already at work with Garbo, Bluvertigo, Alice, etc.) and Cesare Malfatti (member of the legendary Italian band La Crus and of the duo The Dining Rooms, songwriter, composer and producer).<\/p>\n

Io so come sei riuscito a vivere senza gli altri\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>is also a “confessional” record. The songs form a coherent entity, held together by a\u00a0precious, genuine and unusual\u00a0pop songwriting<\/strong>. Alia produced by himself two tracks, the most concise and introspective\u00a0Stevenson<\/em>\u00a0– actually dedicated to the American indie rock songwriter Laura Stevenson – and\u00a08 febbraio 2020<\/em>, marked by his recent loss. As for all the other tracks, Alia provided the four producers with advanced demos. No producer knew how the others were doing. While maintaining harmonic structures, each of them reworked with absolute freedom the songs, mixing synth-rhythms and\u00a0warm tones, darker and more metropolitan mood, modern and shiny elegance. The work of each producer on the atmospheres has enhanced the melodies and the poetry of the lyrics,\u00a0\u00a0between electronic music and softer South American influences.\u00a0The brand new,\u00a0physical synthpop\u00a0single\u00a0Questo corpo<\/em><\/strong>, available today\u00a029th April, 2022\u00a0<\/strong>on all digital platforms, stands\u00a0between the 80s and the attitude of the latest John Grant.<\/p>\n
