In a surprising alternation between melancholic love ballads and unbridled 90s dance rhythms, vocal acrobatics and rap phrasing, Arisa will present for the first time live the new album Ero Romantica, a record poised between romanticism and an urgent need for freedom, carnality and spirituality, a dualism already expressed by the separation in two blocks between the wildest and most electronic songs and the slowest and most sentimental ones, as in an ideal side A and side B.

11 tracks that are an act of love towards humanity in its various facets, which celebrate femininity and its contradictions, which speak of female self-determination and voluntary slavery, shouting the need to change point of view so as not to be crushed by ‘approval.

In addition to Agua de coco and there will be singles that anticipated the album such as You could do more, Psycho, Swings, Heart as well as the hits that made Arisa known to the general public: Sincerità, Controvento and La Notte.

BIO ARISA

We all remember his debut, a page in the history of music, television and pop culture in this country.

It was 2009 when at the 59th edition of the Sanremo Festival, in the New proposals category, Rosalba Pippa, a young and shy girl with a 1950s look and nerd glasses, presented herself. Sincerity, the song with swing hints presented on that occasion, surprised everyone for its originality and for the particular voice of its interpreter.

A stamp that immediately became unmistakable for everyone, a true artistic signature. Sincerità ranked first and also won the Mia Martini Critics’ Award and the Casa Sanremo Assomusica Award.

In the same year she was awarded as a “young revelation” by the Record Association on the occasion of the Wind Music Awards. Sincerity was also the title of her first studio album.

A star was born, one of the most original and most popular characters in the world of entertainment in Italy.

Arisa was born.

Award-winning singer, author, actress and voice actress, writer, TV presenter and icon of pop music yes but often unconventional and provocative, standard bearer of body positive, loved and respected in queer and LGBT circles, Arisa has shown in recent years to be a ‘ 360 ° artist, always, proudly, outside the box: chameleonic, eclectic, unpredictable, constantly ready to question herself and undermine the certainties of the public and critics.

From an awkward-looking young man at the beginning to the most recent image of a femme fatale in a sexy punk and bondage chic key, everything happened in between.

In over twelve years of career she collects 4 gold and 7 platinum records and participates eleven times in the Sanremo Festival: seven in the competition, three as a guest and one as a presenter alongside Emma Marrone and Carlo Conti. She wins two editions: in 2009 with Sincerità among the “New proposals” and in 2014 triumphing with Controvento in the “Champions” category. In 2012 she ranks second with La Notte, one of her most intense pieces of hers certified triple platinum.

Judge for three editions of X Factor, he has written two books and has demonstrated his musical eclecticism also through the collaboration with different artists such as Mauro Pagani, Cristina Donà, Club Dogo, Jose Feliciano, Tricarico, Giovanni Caccamo, Enzo Gragnaniello, Fedez and J -Ax, Takagi & Ketra, MYSS KETA, Lo Stato Sociale, Tony Hadley of Spandau Ballet, Cristina D’Avena, Alberto Urso, Gigi D’Alessio. There are countless authors who have written for her but if there is anyone who has often been at her side in recent years it is Giuseppe Anastasi, author of many successes of the Lucanian artist. He has released seven studio albums – Sincerità (2009), Malamorenò (2010), Amami (2012), Se vedo te (2014), Looking at the sky (2015), Una nuova Rosalba in città (2019), Ero Romantica (2021) – a live album and two collections, collecting fourteen awards and two nominations for the Silver Ribbons.

Irresistible voice for beloved characters from world-famous animated films, she has starred in five films for directors such as Ricky Tognazzi, Alessandro Genovesi and Neri Parenti. Among the artists most courted by Italian TV, she has taken part for two editions in one of the most popular Italian television programs, Amici di Maria De Filippi, while she is currently engaged as a competitor of the Rai Uno program conducted by Milly Carlucci Dancing under the stars.

Central figure of Italian song, Arisa’s fame crossed national borders when she performed at the Master Theater in New York as the representative of Italy for the eleventh edition of the Italian Music Festival but also in Tokyo and Kuwait. Everyone recognizes her rare human sensitivity towards social issues, witnessed among other things by her commitment to the children of Haiti, her candidacy for the Amnesty Italia Award and her participation in the concert in favor of the Abruzzese citizens affected by the 2009 earthquake; in 2021 she was the godmother of Gay Pride in Naples.

Anticipated by the singles Could you do more – song written by Gigi D’Alessio and competing at the 71st edition of the Sanremo Festival – Ortica, Psyco, Swings and Heart Ero Romantica is his seventh studio album, the first released for his independent label Pipshow – under exclusive license to Believe Artist Services.

In December Arisa wins first place in the Dancing With the Stars program, together with the dancer Vito Coppola. In February he participates as a judge in the masked singer.

In March 2022 he flies to Beijing to sing the Italian anthem of Mameli for the closing ceremony of the Paralympics of the Beijing 2022 Winter Games.

On April 4, 2022, he held a benefit concert at the Teatro Lirico in Milan in favor of the Ukrainian population, organized by the Francesca Rava Foundation to respond to the urgent requests of hospitals affected by the war.
