Måneskin’s Damiano David Releases Uplifting New Single ‘Born With a Broken Heart’

Måneskin’s Damiano David released his debut solo single Silverlines last month, with the number pairing the singer’s rugged vocals with lush romantic production from Labyrinth. The Italian heartthrob follows it with something a little more pop-centred with new single Born with a Broken Heart produced by Jason Evigan and Mark Schick.

Damiano shares: “When I wrote this song I was getting out of a very dark place, I was feeling emotionless and I was afraid that I had lost my ability to feel things, either good or bad. This was happening while I was starting the most meaningful relationship of my life and the fear of not being capable or ready was big. I think the song was a way to make myself make sense of what I was feeling and look at it from a less scary prospective. I’m happy to say that today I don’t feel like this but I think a lot of people can relate with the feeling of not being good enough.”

The number is the second from Damiano’s upcoming solo project – the specific details of which are still somewhat of a mystery – although the set is likely to be a full solo album. The singer has confirmed that the project does not signal the end of Måneskin, however.

Talking about the Aerin Moreno directed video which accompanies the song, Damiano notes: “The video is my personal fantasy. A world where no matter what, once you step through the door, everything becomes magical and beautiful. It’s a way to say that not everything negative is gonna hurt you, but sometimes is actually gonna take you to the next chapter of your life. We all have the ability to transform negative experiences into something meaningful for us.”

Born with a Broken Heart is released via Sony Music Italy. Stream above.
