"Sesso e samba" is a song recorded by Italian rapper Tony Effe and Italian singer Gaia.[1] [2] It was released on 23 May 2024 through Universal Music Italia, as the third single from the rapper's second studio album Icon.[3] [4]
The song peaked at number one on the Italian singles chart, becoming the first chart-topping song for both artists.[5] It was certified platinum by FIMI after four weeks of sales.[6] [7]
Composition
The song was written by the artists themself with Davide Petrella and Zef, who is also the producer.[8] [9] In an interview Vanity Fair Italia the singers explained the collaboration:[10]
Critical reception
Alessandro Alicandri of TV Sorrisi e Canzoni described the song as musically different from the previous "Taxi sulla Luna" collaboration with Emma Marrone, finding it more akin to samba music, on which Effe sets "a lyric that mixes singing and speaking that seems to echo 1960s swing songs".[11] Valeria Paglionico of Fanpage.it stated that the song is musically "fresh and magnetic" and that it "perfectly reflects the sensuality and complicity of the two artists".[12]
In a less positive review Andrea Laffranchi of Corriere della Sera wrote that the song comes across musically with "sensuality, Brazilian mood even if it is not samba in purity" and a lyric "with minimal vocabulary," finding it "precisely constructed" but where nevertheless "spontaneity is lost." Laffranchi questioned "where the balance lies between the past consciousness on issues such as feminism and inclusion of Gaia and the masculinist language of the former dark Polo Gang."[13]
Music video
The music video for the song, directed by Attilio Cusani, was released the same day as the single through the rapper's YouTube channel.[14]
Commercial performance
"Sesso e samba" debuted at number ten on the Italian singles chart, becoming Tony Effe's fifth top-ten solo song and Gaia's third.[15] The following week the song reached number one, becoming the first song to reach the top for both artists.[16] [17]
