00:05Benji and Fede are back. Five years after the separation, the duo is together again, more mature and aware.
00:11We met them at the ADN Kronos to talk about the new album Rewind, available from today,
00:16the sold-out of the concert on November 16 at the Unipol Forum in Assago,
00:20up to a possible approval at the Sanremo Festival.
00:23The separation came at a time when we were at a very high point in our career,
00:29in terms of results and numbers, but we were very stressed, very tense,
00:34because we had been coming for five very intense years of tours and records,
00:41and we needed to take a break from this project,
00:46to also experience for ourselves what it meant to live and make music alone.
00:52And now that we're back together, we treasure the experiences we've had on our own,
00:57to then give added value to this project.
01:00And as you said, dear friend, it's the song that gave birth to this new album,
01:06because it was the first one we released in the studio in January of this year,
01:10and when we went into the studio and did Dear Friend,
01:13we realized at that moment that there was still that magic in making music together, in working together.
01:20Rewind is a bit like going back in time to remember where we started from,
01:27which is very important, and then to start again with all the things we've brought with us,
01:35and that today can perhaps allow us to go on a journey that we have never done before,
01:41and that we could have done.
01:43And the meeting at the Forum marks the new beginning.
01:46I think the date at the Forum is a good starting point,
01:51to go back to repression with empathy,
01:56and to make the public understand that today we are back,
02:00but we are also different people compared to then.
02:04We kept our character, but we grew up,
02:09and our music has grown with us.
02:11We are always pop, but the album will also have sound,
02:14a bit more rock, a bit more funky,
02:17it will be much more organic,
02:19so we will take them on this new journey,
02:22which I hope they will like very much.
02:25Finally, a look at the future and the possibility of tracing
02:28one of the most important stages of Italian music,
02:31that of the Sanremo Festival.
02:33Maybe one day it could be the right stage for us too.
02:36Maybe before we were...
02:37Do you think so?
02:39Maybe.
02:41You have to be ready, you have to have the right song,
02:43you have to be whole with yourself.
02:45And maybe this is a good year,
02:47these years, whether it's this one, the next one,
02:49the next one yet.
02:50It would be nice, we would be ready.
02:52We have more than one song, but who knows.
02:54We are in the process of thinking,
02:57but the idea is killing us.
