Noemi’s punchy anthem, Odio Tutti I Cantanti (I Hate All Singers), is a loud eye-roll at the noisy, consumer-obsessed circus around us. She lists “quante cose inutili”—all those useless things we crave—while the TV blares and headlines stab like a dagger to the heart. The repeated line “odio tutti i cantanti” is less a literal rant against musicians and more a playful way of saying, “I’m sick of empty pop-culture promises.” The “pioggia di metallo” (metal rain) paints a picture of a world that feels cold, mechanical, and relentless.

Yet beneath the sarcasm lies vulnerability. Noemi watches dreams turn to hail, wonders about the weight of freedom, and feels both repelled by and drawn to love. Every time the person she sings to “mi guardi così”—looks at her like that—the fury wavers, revealing a longing for something genuine in the middle of all the clamor. The song is a bold, witty cry for authenticity in a world that keeps turning up the volume.

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.
