"Un ragazzo una ragazza" is a song by Italian rock band The Kolors, released on 7 February 2024 through Warner.[1]
The song competed in the 74th Sanremo Music Festival, Italy's musical festival which doubles also as a selection of the act for Eurovision Song Contest, where it placed 16th in the grand final.[2] [3] [4]
Composition
The song was written by the band members Stash and Alex Fiordispino with Davide Petrella and Francesco Catitti.[5] [6] In an interview with L'Officiel Italia, the frontman Stash explained the conception and lyrics of the song:[7] Musically it is inspired by Prince's song "Kiss", with a "baseline close to the world of funk, including as a genre also italo disco".[8]
Critical reception
The song received general positive reviews by Italian music critics.[9]
Andrea Conti of Il Fatto Quotidiano described the song as "one of the most powerful songs by The Kolors", thanks to "a vortex of up-tempo music, relentless drums and bass".[10] Andrea Laffranchi of Corriere della Sera wrote that the song is musically composed by "straight case and funk scent".[11] Silvia Danielli of Billboard Italia wrote that the band remain in the 80s dance sounds of "Italodisco" with a "simple" lyric lenguage.[12] Il Messaggero pointed out that the song is a "fatal catchphrase" with "70s violins, woodwinds and funk basses".[13]
Music video
The music video for the song, directed by Younuts!, was released on 7 February 2024, through the singer's YouTube channel.[14] The video also features Polish singer and model Blanka.[15]
