A new episode of the podcast is here”The contrary” And Wild Lucarelli she didn’t spare herself. It was me this time male. In the past few days, the “Dancing with the Stars” judge had made fun of the “wedding” celebrated in Rome between the members of the band and declared them worthy of an episode of “Boss of Ceremonies”. But this time, the journalist embarked on a deeper analysis.
“What’s going to happen to the maneskins?” That’s how the episode began. Once a fan of the group, Lucarelli admitted she can’t find that anymorepast authenticity in the famous band, “grew up too fast” after worldwide success after winning the Eurovision Song Contest. In fact, he likens them to “geese destined for foie grois. No longer free to eat what they want, but artificially stuffed by the system.” According to Wild, the music would have been overshadowed by all the excess by now which revolves around the 4 musicians: the outfits strictly according to the name gucci, the daring photos, the make-up, the broken instruments during the concerts, the constant “liquid” kisses.
The expert then spoke about the rumors about possible cracks in the Relationship between Damiano David and Victoria De Angelis. Fans have long noted this alleged rift within the band, relating it to a lack of harmony between bassist and bassist Giorgia Soleri, the girlfriend of the famous frontman. The two have been together since 2018, but they only came out two years ago. A sluggish relationship theirs, which would strain the balance within the rock group. In support of this leak, the 22-year-old Dane’s absence from the Maneskin leader’s birthday party a few weeks ago certainly didn’t go unnoticed.
Selvaggia then returned to comment on what she called the “sideshow”, that is, the fake wedding organized to promote the complex’s new album “Rush”. An event packed with celebrities, from Fedez to former Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele. After a ride “unforgettable”the group should think less about it commercial product which they try to sell at any price, as well as the musical product. “And who knows, maybe they’ll realize they need to roam a little where they want,” Lucarelli concluded on the 24th episode of her hit podcast.
The Maneskins crushed by criticism
On January 20, 2023 the latest Maneskin work was published, “rush”. The album came after a two-year wait as the band toured the world and achieved immense success abroad. but the pressureboth the Italians and the Americans did not receive it optimally.
The well-known American magazine “The Atlantic” defined the songs as “recycled and mediocre‘, while music critic Steven Hyden described them as ‘cartoon by rock bands”. Rolling Stone doesn’t often have overly positive words either, but it saved them by finding them “pretty funny.” The criticism mainly focused on the lyrics of the songs and the fRockstar Barley: “It’s hard to say how seriously the Måneskin take this nonsense. It certainly suits them better to be exaggerated.” In Italy, on the other hand, the violinist’s very harsh judgment is now well known Uto Ughi against the music group, which they called an “insult to art and culture”.
In short, certainly not a warm welcome for this disc. But despite the scathing opinions of music critics, Audiences seem to have loved “Rush” very much. In fact, the album conquered the charts around the world, reaching number one in seven countries including Italy, France, Japan, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Lithuania. In addition, it reached the top 5 in 10 countries including the UK, Germany, Finland and many more.
