The acclaimed Italian singer-songwriter Damiano David has unveiled a brand-new single today, 'Talk to Me,' a stunning collaboration featuring South African sensation and Grammy Award® winner Tyla and the legendary, multiple Grammy Award® winner Nile Rodgers. Released via Sony Music Italy / Arista, the track fuses three distinct artistic styles into a cohesive and captivating pop anthem.
The single arrives hot on the heels of David's highly anticipated debut solo album, 'Funny Little Fears'. The album, which has already amassed over 800 million global streams, saw the Måneskin frontman exploring new musical territory. Critics have praised the record's raw honesty and emotional depth, with Damiano confronting his insecurities through a mix of pop, rock, and heartfelt ballads. 'Talk to Me' marks yet another bold step for the artist, pushing his sound even further through a powerful creative partnership.
In a recent interview, Damiano explained the origins of the song, noting how a sudden burst of inspiration led him to write the track as he prepared for his tour. He stated, "As the tour was approaching, I unexpectedly felt a new wave of inspiration that led me to write ‘Talk to Me’. What made this spark even more exciting was knowing that the legendary Nile Rodgers thought the song worthy of adding his solo guitar. I always felt this song should be a duet, and since I've recently been listening a lot to ‘Water’. I was completely blown away and really wanted to have her sing it with me.”
The admiration is clearly mutual, with Tyla and Rodgers sharing their excitement about the collaboration. Tyla remarked, "Damiano sent me this record and I instantly fell in love with how nostalgic it felt. I heard myself on it straight away. Excited about how new it feels for me, my tygrs gonna luv ittt." Rodgers added, "When I received the song from Damiano and Tyla, I really loved the vibe of it and I wanted my guitar to be the third voice. ‘Talk To Me’ was a fun one to work on!"
'Talk to Me' serves as the latest release following a string of successful singles from 'Funny Little Fears', including 'Born With A Broken Heart' and the Labrinth-produced 'Silverlines.' With his solo career in full swing, Damiano is set to introduce his new material to a global audience with his massive 2025 world tour. The tour, which includes a completely sold-out run of shows in Europe, will see him playing across five continents, a true testament to his rising status as a formidable solo artist.
