In Italian, there’s an elegant way to call music made with purpose and meaning, ‘musica d’autore’. It can be compared to a singer-songwriter kind of deal, yet it goes deeper, showcasing a heartfelt and meaningful ethos, especially on the lyrical side. ‘Non fare rumore’ is the perfect example of it. A stunningly nuanced and personal album, the record emerges from the imaginative mind of Iberico.
Hailing from Milan, the talented creative teamed up with collaborator Christian Gheno, crafting a series of elegant and lush efforts steeped in the great Italian pop and rock tradition. A bold and daring voice, Iberico doesn’t follow modern formulas or fading trends, instead taking refuge in liminal, haunting tones and evocative arrangements, all drenched in organic instrumental flair and melancholic piano-driven harmonies.
Speaking about the overarching ethos behind the album, Iberico explains: “The album aims to tell stories of situations, things, and people that exist, but that we sometimes pretend not to see.” Drawing a parallel with modern political conundrum – be it gender violence or the conflict in the Middle East – ‘Non fare rumore’ is a worthy listening experience. Dispute being sung in Italian, the emotional charge behind the record is transparent and globally understood.
