Picture yourself by the sea at dusk, the air filled with the sweet scent of glicine (wisteria). Noemi’s voice slips into that moment, telling the story of two lovers who suddenly realise their orbit has shifted. She paints memories of summer nights, ship lights fading on the horizon, and the electric thrill of skin-to-skin closeness that now feels painfully distant. Each verse balances between nostalgia and raw vulnerability: she still loves him on the inside yet trembles on the outside, just like delicate wisteria swaying in the dark.
Glicine is a confession of regrets and a plea for dialogue – an honest look at how taking love for granted can make it unravel. Noemi mourns the vanished atmosfera of their shared evenings, admits her mistakes, and wonders if they can ever reclaim that lost springtime feeling. The song captures the bittersweet tug of wanting to move forward while clinging to tender memories, reminding us that even the most fragile flower can find strength in the night.
Noemi, born Veronica Scopelliti in Rome in 1982, is one of Italy's most recognizable pop and soul voices. She first captured the public's attention in 2009 on the second season of the Italian talent show X Factor, and her debut single "Briciole" soon climbed to number two on the Italian singles chart.
Since then she has released a string of studio albums and become a familiar face at the Sanremo Music Festival, with songs like "Sono solo parole", "Glicine" and "Ti amo non lo so dire". Her rich, powerful voice and heartfelt songwriting have made her a mainstay of contemporary Italian music.
"Tu cosa fai questa sera" is a collaboration with Vito Salamanca, an Italian producer and artist known for blending modern hip hop with vintage, Latin-tinged influences.
