"Insuperabile" is a song recorded by Italian rapper Rkomi. It was released on 2 February 2022 through Universal Music Italy, as the fifth single from his seventh studio album Taxi Driver +.[1] [2]
The song competed in the 72nd Sanremo Music Festival,[3] [4] Italy's musical festival which doubles also as a selection of the act for Eurovision Song Contest, where it placed 17th in the grand final.[5]
Andrea Laffranchi of il Corriere della Sera found in the rapper's artistic choice a search for "national-popular consensus," converting to music played and not rapped, arguing that the song "plays with rock stereotypes: a riff, foot-stomping drums, flames, and powerful engines."[6] Andrea Conti of Il Fatto Quotidiano wrote that the single opens with "a sustained bass line that captivates from the first notes."[7] Francesco Chignola of TV Sorrisi e Canzoni also reflected on the musical side, writing that it "starts off immediately with a powerful bass line, a fast beat, breaking down the boundaries between rap and rock, with an explosive orchestral finale," although he finds the lyrics a bit "full of automotive imagery."[8]
The music video for the song, directed by YouNuts!, was released on February 2, 2022, through the rapper's YouTube channel.[9]
