There are some artists who are comfortable with the norm, who are happy to rinse and repeat the usual cycle and find satisfaction while doing so. There are other artists who continue to evolve, boldly embracing the new and leaving no stone unturned while doing so. Now, we’re not saying that we prefer one over another – there’s beauty in both simplicity and complexity. What we are saying is that it would be a shame if you missed out on Matilde Davoli’s latest single, ‘Il Coraggio di Provare’, released last Friday. The name roughly translates into ‘The Courage To Try’ and the result proves the sentiment.

With a cinematic ambiance fit for films and life-changing moments, the single both captures the imagination and soothes the soul. Taken from her upcoming LP, Home which is slated for release on the 5th of November, the single was preceded by ‘Glitch At Dark’ and ‘Sine’. Between the three tracks, the listener is already introduced to a clear idea of her strengths as she unashamedly shows off her own skills as a professionally trained sound engineer, producer and songwriter.

“This is the only song I wrote in Italian, for this album and in my life, and it was challenging as any first time. The way it happened is that my friend Gigi Chord (playing keyboards in my live sets by the way) called me on the phone saying that he had this loop (music) but he was stuck on it. He needed help to develop the music but also (why not) the vocals. As soon as I listened to it I thought to sing in Italian. It was a perfect foundation for revisiting the good old Italian soundtrack vibes. I wrote the vocals and the words first, then I played some stuff developing a song structure around it. We exchanged tracks back and forth a couple of times and then, happy ever after, the song was ready.” – The musician tells us about the creation of her work.
