Ever looked in the mirror and thought, "Wait, when did I grow up?" “Vuoto A Perdere” – literally a “disposable container” – plays with that image. Noemi sings from the perspective of a woman who suddenly notices the passage of time on her skin, her curves, and her memories. She lists cellulite right beside her “nuove consapevolezze” (new realizations), admitting she has wasted days and chances without even noticing. The title becomes a witty self-jab: she once felt like packaging destined for the trash, something used and tossed away.
Yet the song is far from gloomy. In the next breath she says she still walks the streets, does her grocery shopping, but has stopped hunting for that “something more” that always came with a price. Time may have changed people, but she accepts the change in herself, trading regret for self-irony and a healthier self-respect. Noemi’s soulful voice turns everyday insecurities into an anthem of honest, grown-up empowerment: embracing your flaws, laughing at the past, and moving forward a little lighter – shopping bags in hand, heart wide open.
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.
