Nico Guzzi
If you are searching for a song to have your jaw on the floor and your heart in your hand, then Loser by Nico Guzzi is for you. The Italian singer-songwriter’s music is pure instinct. He mixes genres and ambience in his musical labyrinth, giving us a concoction of music that is all set to heal the world. One shot of his music into your body, and the notes will have your body and mind reflecting the state of the world while also grooving. The stage is set with tango music as he saunters in with a gothic-jazz ambience, which is more urgent. He commands your attention with his music; he demands you drop everything and pay attention to him, but to the state of the world. He doesn’t hold back; the message is as clear as his notes. It is a critique of how people are so indifferent to their own people. He comments on AI and how the robots live among us, literally and figuratively. “Forgive us if we seem aloof; we’re barely present in our own demise.” If that doesn’t shake your conscience, it will be shaken when he mentions Gaza. The musical style suits Persepolis, with the constant questioning, yet a cool, calm, and collected behavior is shared between the song and the film. Nico Guzzi is the pulse of music currently, in a way that we know that music and art are meant to question and critique power. Nico makes us aware of our own power as listeners. He makes beauty out of something that is currently so ugly—the moral compass of the world. You can explore his discography by clicking on the links attached.
