Italian rock band Måneskin has been officially formed in 2016 by the vocalist Damiano David, bassist Victoria De Angelis, guitarist Thomas Raggi, and drummer Ethan Torchio. [1] Initially, they performed as baskers and published their covers on YouTube. [2] In 2017, they took part in eleventh season of the Italian talent show X Factor, where they performed such covers as " Beggin'" by the Four Seasons, " Take Me Out" by Franz Ferdinand, " Somebody Told Me" by the Killers and " Let's Get It Started" by The Black Eyed Peas. as well as their original alternative rock song " Chosen". [3] Later that year, "Chosen" was released as the band's debut single. It, alongside covers performed in the talent show and another original song "Recovery", composed Måneskin's first extended play Chosen. [4] The following year, the group released their debut album Il ballo della vita (2018), which was a funk rock and pop rock effort, containing influences of reggae and ska. [5] The album features two prominent figures in its lyricism, a muse "Marlena" and a man who wants to be with her until the very end. [6]
For their 2021 album Teatro d'ira: Vol. I, Måneskin took a direction to hard rock and glam rock genres. With the title translating to "theatre of wrath", the lyrics focus on venting and rebelling against anything that might have failed them. [7] Examples of hard rock influence on the project can be heard on songs such as " Zitti e buoni" and " I Wanna Be Your Slave", [8] [9] while the album also contains more dimmed tracks such as power ballad " Vent'anni" and " Coraline". [10] [11] Following the band's victory on Eurovision Song Contest 2021, they recorded an alternate version of "I Wanna Be Your Slave" with American punk-rock singer Iggy Pop, while their cover of "Beggin'" became widely popular. [12] Måneskin's subsequent release was " Mammamia", a club-oriented dance-punk and rock "banger". [12] [13] [14] In 2022, they began working on their third studio album with Swedish producer Max Martin, writing around ten tracks with him. [15] One of them was pushed as a single―inspired by California sound " Supermodel", [15] which is a pop rock song with grunge intro. [16] [17]
Besides their own projects, Måneskin collaborated with Francesca Michielin on a song " Stato di natura", [18] as well as they contributed to the soundtrack Elvis with a cover of Elvis Presley's " If I Can Dream". [19]
