"Idealista!" is Noemi’s rallying cry for anyone whose heart beats faster than the world around them. Singing from the point of view of a rebellious, artistic soul, she celebrates the thrill of chasing new experiences, trusting gut feelings and believing that change will come – if not today, then tomorrow. The song’s repeated “no!” is a bright red stop-sign held up to society’s demands to work like crazy, stay obedient and accept empty promises. Rather than bend, she laughs, runs and rises above it all, convinced that her instinct has never steered her wrong.
As the verses unfold, Noemi exposes hollow romances, the ghost stories of the past and the daily grind that can feel like an endless nightmare. Refusing to be lured by fancy words or second-hand dreams, she decides to “fregarsi il mondo” – to snatch the world for herself – and live on her own fearless terms. The result is an empowering anthem that urges listeners to question, resist and keep their hearts light enough to soar while waiting for the refreshing “water” of real change.
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.
