Happening music on your own should be exciting if you are used to doing it together with a band. And especially when you go from rock to pop music. It provides Damiano David from Maneskin criticism, but also a hit.
“This is not an evolution, this is a total transformation. You deny everything you have done before.” “What have they done with you?” “Another rock star who sells his soul for pop music.” “I miss the Damiano from Maneskin.” It is just a selection of the reactions, if David releases the video clip of his single Born With A Broken Heart (below) last October.
Fans of the rock band who won the Eurovision Song Contest in 2021 and then received a successful international career are skeptical about the pop music that David focuses on. They feel betrayed, because David shouted on stage after the Songfestival profit that rock music will never die and now “has sold his soul”. David seems to be responding to the new song Mars with a wink, from his Friday that was released Funny Little Fears . ” Oh no, rock ‘n roll has died again ,” he sings as the first sentence.
Many of his first-hour fans prefer to see the studio again with Maneskin, which has taken a temporary break after the busy years that followed the Songfestival win. They will have to be patient, because first the 26-year-old Italian is still on tour with his own album.
Criticism of a band member who takes a different direction solo is not new. When Freddie Mercury was inspired by Disco in the 1980s, not all Queen fans were cheering. David saw the dissatisfaction coming. “I already expected that there would be a dichotomy,” he tells Instyle . “People who are a fan of the band hate me for this without just listening. It is automatic hatred.”
Damiano David – Born With A Broken Heart
‘I am a pop singer in the wider sense’
Fortunately for David there is an audience for his solo work, although the hits are not as large as with Maneskin. Born With A Broken Heart has since passed the 100 million streams on Spotify. This song, which is compared a lot with the style of Harry Styles, is quite a few steps away from the maneskin rock sound. The same applies to the infectious new single Zombie Lady , on which David’s girlfriend Dove Cameron, singer and actress, can be heard. Next Summer is a soft rock ballad as the band sometimes made, but the loud guitars of Maneskin are missing on the entire album.
David has no trouble being labeled as a pop artist. “I am also a pop singer in the wider sense,” he tells Instyle . “I try to make successful songs, if that is what Pop means. But I don’t try it with a formula, because that is nonsense. If you sing something that you think sound good and what you like to sing, it works rather than something you have to force.”
For the Maneskin fans who really can’t get used to the sound of David in his uppie, there is still hope. The band members do their own thing temporarily, such as bass player Victoria de Angelis, that additional spirit as DJ. There is no definitive end of Maneskin. David recently told in the Zach Sang Show that Maneskin comes together again if the band members want it themselves, but not because there is pressure from outside. Such a temporary break has often proved to be a definitive in pop history, so there is no warranty. That could also just depend on the success of the solo projects of the band members.
David performs solo in AFAS Live in Amsterdam on 15 September. The concert is sold out.
