Maneskin are not splitting up despite launching solo projects
Bassist Victoria De Angelis has addressed the future of the Italian rock group as she and frontman Damiano David embark on solo careers.
Måneskin "are not done" after frontman Damiano David and bassist Victoria De Angelis unveiled their solo projects.
Fans were concerned after the two members of the 2021 Eurovision-winning group - completed by Thomas Raggi and Ethan Torchio - announced their side projects, but it doesn't spell the end of the 'I Wanna Be Your Slave' group.
Victoria, who released her debut solo single, ‘GET UP B****! (Shake Ya A**)’, last week, told NME: “We just finished our tour a couple of weeks ago and it went amazing so now we are just having a little ‘chill moment’ but of course, we are not done.”
The tune features Brazilian pop Anitta.
On how it came about, Victoria recounted: "I just sent her the demo I made and I was like, ‘I have this track, I think it would be sick to have you on it’, and she sent me the track after one week.
“I was on a plane downloading it with the little Wi-Fi that I bought and I was like, ‘Ahh’, shaking my a** on the plane. I love Anitta, she’s so bada** so it was the perfect collaboration.”
Damiano also teased his own project, which fans will hear on September 27.
Speaking to Billboard this week, he teased: “[It's] Something I’ve been working on for a lot of time and I am very proud of so I really can’t wait for the day to come.”
In a dramatic trailer on social media narrated by the singer as he rides in the back of a car, he says: “My name is Damiano David. I was born in 1999, Rome, Italy. I love music, arts and women. I love the feeling of beautiful clothes and the smell of a nice perfume. In my life I’ve been a thief, a liar, a lover, a shapeshifter.
“I travelled all around the world to find my voice, just to end up where everything’s started. My name is Damiano David and today is the first day of my life.”
