"Oh Mammamia, the shock is real": I Maneskin they promised, that "Oh mamaIt would have been a shock. And, now that the song is out, it's easy to see why.
"Mammamia" and stereotypes against Italians
2021 is definitely the year of the Maneskin. They triumphed in Sanremo, they won Eurovision. And their songs have climbed the charts, in Italy and in the world. Now, here they are back with a song that promises to be yet another hit: “Mammamia”. Written after the Eurovision Song Contest, when Damiano was accused of having taken drugs by the French press, it is a song against stereotypes. "They want to arrest me, but I was just having fun | I swear I'm not drunk and I don't take drugs | They ask me why I'm so hot, why I'm Italian”Sings the leader of the group, Damiano David. Which, in the course of an interview, he told how "Mammamia" was born in a few hours, and how his is an ironic text although full of meaning.
È a sung response to criticism, "Mammamia", but also a hymn to freedom. Why the sexuality, for the Maneskins it is the quintessence of freedom. They sing it in their songs, they live it in their life. "You may have tastes or preferences that people often think are strange but in reality they are lived very innocently. There is a difference in intentions between what you want to do and what others perceive”He explained to Fanpage. Because, their being bad guys doesn't match the truth at all. "Everyone criticizes us superficially but in reality what makes us cool is the fact that We're Italian".
The triumph in the standings
In truth, the success of the Maneskin goes far beyond the Italian borders. Their cover of "Beggin '" reached # XNUMX on the US Alternative Chart in America, beating Imagine Dragons' "Wrecked", Twenty One Pilots "Saturday", Willow Smith's "Transparentsoul", All Time Low's "Monster" and Foo's "Making a Fire" Fighters. A success, this, repeated by the first place in Spotify's Global Chart with the same song. And, their faces lit up Times Square. With "I wanna be your slave ", “Beggin '” is their most international hit. And to explain it is the success that both songs have had in Anglo-Saxon countries ("I wanna be your slave" was in first place on Billboard USA's Hot Hard Rock Songs).
“Mammamia”, the Maneskin will take her on stage all over Europe. And so all the songs that brought these four Roman twenty-year-olds to the top of world music. Their Loud Kids On Tour '22 sold out in two hours, and will take them to sports halls and stadiums across Europe. "On stage we are rock stars but when we get off from there, in everyday life, we are normal XNUMX year olds”Said Damiano. "Sometimes you feel that you are doing something beautiful, but it does not understand. Mammamia exclaims!". And it is precisely that exclamation that, set to music today, tells what the Maneskin are. A piece of Italy that looks far ahead, and of which it is impossible not to be proud.
