An old fool
Or a friend in disguise
You say you’re hurt
Well brother
So am I
Where have you been
Accusi è o stissu
Whatever you say
Ci riss u craunaru
What is that you seek
Non ci ricemu nienti e si la cantare
Is this Love you feel?
Facemu accussi
Or is it pain?
I liccumarei
How long will it take?
Su tutti li toi
To stop being the same
E li camurrie
Do you remember?
sulu cazzi mei
Find the empty space
Parru cu ttia
E parru co muro
Cuteddu ca nun tagghia
E pani ruru
Iaddu ca canta quannu fa scuru
Nun s’abbaia ca minchia ro pupo
ucca non parra
I Was feeling alone
Si chiama cucuzza
I think I’m at peace now
Sarausana iè
I was catching a vibe
Santa Luciuzza
But i ain’t got the money
Quanti ni sai
And I ain’t feeling alright
E Quanti ni voi
I think that i’m leaving
U sciecco è cunnutu
alone in the rain
Rissi lu voi
Why am I so Strange ?
Faremo accussi
Do you wanna comply?
I liccumarei with a different disguise
Su tutti li to
You say i talk too hard
E li camurrie
that i took it too far
Sulu cazzi mei
still I get shit done
Is this Love you feel?
Facemo accussi
Or is it pain?
I liccumarei
How long will it take?
Su tutti li to
To stop being the same
E li camurrie
Do you remember?
Sulu cazzi mei
Find the empty space
Maddiri chibboi
I didn’t know you back then
Ava ameni
But i know you by now
Sempre ammanzu e vai
and i’d still take the blame
Vengniu cu ttia
perhaps she was right
E te ne vai?
I ain’t got shit to say
Delicate like the touch of someone we love, decisive like the juice of a sicilian orange. Crisp like the air of a cosmopolitan metropolis and at the same time soft like the sunset over a small town in the south of Italy: "MURO" is the new project from RBSN, aka Alessandro Rebesani, and Marco Castello, out via ODD Clique.
Born among the endless jams of an intimate and community recording session in a house overlooking the Mediterranean sea in November 2022, "MURO" represents the fusion between two unique creative worlds: between a soul shaped by international influences and a heart anchored in Sicily.
Two years after the release of his first highly appreciated album, "Stranger Days", RBSN takes a new step forward in his peculiar artistic path. His creative skills on the guitar and his warm and enveloping voice give life to a personal and original sound: a mix influenced by the new jazz made in the UK and the contaminated electronics of the clubs of London and Leeds. He therefore establish himself as the link between the italian psych/soul scene and the one across the border; owning a pop freshness and imediacy at the same time
Something magical was born out of the match between RBSN and Marco Castello: their voices blend together in a spontaneous and fluid way, they chase and embrace each other lightly, melancholy. RBSN's english lyrics blend with the sicilian ones from Castello with unprecedented and surprising naturalness - shaping a song that goes beyond time and space, living an ethereal and dreamy dimension.
A multifaceted call and response of different blues, between feline guitars and velvety piano rhodes. The reflective approach of RBSN and the ironic one of Castello give life to a fascinating sonic and poetic intertwining.
Muro marks the first album release by ODD Clique: a young and enterprising collective and label born in Rome, Italy, to celebrate and spread everywhere its rich music scene rooted in genres like jazz, soul, afrobeat, electronic music and much more.
