Featured Tune: "PRINCIPESSA" from ciliegia suicidio
reviews
A Crown That Doesn’t Sit Easy
With PRINCIPESSA, ciliegia suicidio offers a listening experience that feels deliberately uncomfortable—and strangely honest because of it. This is not a song that tries to win you over on the first pass. Instead, it lingers, nudges, and quietly unsettles, inviting the listener into a space where certainty feels fragile, and emotions refuse to settle neatly.
The track carries an off-putting edge that seems intentional, as if the music itself is questioning the nature of beauty, identity, and control. There’s a tension woven into the arrangement: moments that feel almost delicate are quickly undercut by darker, more abrasive textures. That push and pull becomes the song’s emotional core. It mirrors the unease of standing between innocence and disillusionment, between wanting clarity and accepting doubt.
Sung in Italian, PRINCIPESSA gains an added layer of distance and intrigue. Even for listeners who may not grasp every word, the language functions as an emotional instrument, shaping mood and tone rather than offering easy explanations. The vocal delivery feels restrained yet expressive, as if holding back something volatile just beneath the surface.
What makes PRINCIPESSA compelling is its refusal to comfort. It doesn’t aim to resolve its questions or soften its edges. Instead, it allows uncertainty to remain, encouraging listeners to sit with their own ambiguous feelings about life and meaning. In a landscape crowded with polished, predictable releases, ciliegia suicidio stands apart by embracing doubt as an aesthetic choice. PRINCIPESSA may not be an easy listen, but it’s a memorable one—unsettling in a way that stays with you long after the song ends.
