"Poetica" is a song by Italian singer-songwriter Cesare Cremonini. It was released on 3 November 2017 through Universal Music Italy, as the lead single from his sixth studio album Possibili scenari.[1]
The song peaked at number two on the Italian Top Singles FIMI chart and has been certified triple platinum in Italy.[2]
In the song, traditional pop-rock instruments such as guitars and keyboards meet many orchestral instruments such as piano, strings, saxophone and other brass instruments: the result is what the press has called "an ambitious return to epic pop".[3] [4] In an interview with TV Sorrisi e Canzoni Cremonini explained the meaning of the song:[5]
The song is a journey into the ups and downs of life and aims to encourage to never give up, because there is always a way to overcome obstacles.[6] In fact, the author has also stated it is a song "written, played and sung without fear"[7] and has declared it is a dedication of love for life.[8]
The music video for the song, directed by Gaetano Morbioli, was released on November 21, 2017, through the singer's YouTube channel.[9]
