I just listened to a new song by Rome-based Massimo De Simone called “Nel Tutto” and wow, what a journey! Massimo is no amateur when it comes to music. He’s been making all kinds of songs for years, and he’s always mixing different styles in new ways.
This song takes the cake though. At over four minutes, “Nel Tutto” is like a musical movie for your ears. With a fresh sound that leads you to another domain, the song begins with a tune fit for a dance floor. When you believe you understand what’s going to happen next, it changes course and surprises you once again.
I’ve never heard anything quite like “Nel Tutto.” The song starts with a pulsing electronic beat that seeps into your bones, urging your feet to move. You are enticed to lose yourself in the dancing by the song’s pleasant vibe. But the song takes a turn that engulfs you in its currents just when you believe you have a grip on where it’s headed.
Guitars begin to tap on the song’s doors slowly while strings swell, giving the melody a gentle feel. The musician puts his heart and soul into each note, and you can sense every little tingle in his delivery. All at once, the dance floor fades away, and you find yourself somewhere else entirely.
The lyrics explore our place as individual consciousnesses within a greater cosmic whole. We originate from some infinite source, will one day rejoin it, and in the meantime seek connections between our inner and outer worlds. It’s heady conceptual territory that Massimo renders in a digestible, emotionally resonant way.
“Nel Tutto” blends electronic, rock, and pop, into an unbreakable sound that’s gorgeous. It keeps you on your toes but pulls you along willingly where it wants to take you.
Massimo is a master of his art, and his years of dedication shine brightly. With “Nel Tutto,” he proved to us why his music is heard so powerfully. Whether you want to lose yourself in a dance or contemplate life’s mysteries under the stars, this song delivers. It’s the perfect accompaniment no matter your mood. Turn it up loud when you need an energy boost or when you want to sing your heart out. Either way, you’ll find yourself on a journey.
Massimo De Simone is a true artist, unafraid to go wherever the muse may lead. I am excited to see where his musical vision takes listeners next. In the meantime, I’ll be hitting repeat on “Nel Tutto” and letting its waves carry me away time and time again.
