Måneskin, “The Loneliest” | Track Review 🎵

Italian rock band Måneskin brings the heat on “The Loneliest,” a relatable single that captures the plight of love, specifically unrequited love.

“You’ll be the saddest part of me / A part of me that will never be mine…” Oh, snap – those pesky matters of the heart are in play on 🎵 “The Loneliest”. “The Loneliest” marks the second single released by the Italian rock band, 🎙 Måneskin in 2022.  Måneskin has received its fair share of attention (it goes with the rock star thing, right?), particularly front man 🎙 Damiano David, who, dare I say, would stand out anywhere 😍 (those looks, those tats, etc.).  Beyond the press surrounding the band, they prove time and time again they have talent, as showcased on “The Loneliest.”

Damiano David is depressed to the n^th degree because she will never be his. “In case of death, that’s what I want /… So don’t be sad when I’ll be gone / There’s just one thing I hope you know / I loved you so.” His heart is aching and pained so bad that he doesn’t mind if he dies… Wow! He confirms she’s crucial to his survival in the chorus, singing, “You’re still the oxygen I breathe…” Oxygen is essential to survive, so, without her, things don’t look good.  The premise of the record is simple but relatable to anyone who’s experienced the plight of love, particularly unrequited, unreciprocated love.  David sounds fantastic, singing in an undertone initially with incredible poised before unveiling the fullness of his pipes.  Furthermore, it’s great to hear a truly spirited, rock-driven backdrop, including a guitar sandwiched between the final two choruses.  Arguably, “The Loneliest” begins a bit slow, but once the cards are revealed, and things progress, it’s pretty awesome.

Final Thoughts 💭 

All in all, Damiano David and Måneskin bring the heat on 🎵 “The Loneliest”.  Damiano David sounds fantastic.  The songwriting is straightforward and relatable, perfectly capturing the plight of love. The chorus is magnificent. The production is a selling point as well.  Again, I was a bit off-put at first, but ultimately, I’m on board with the latest gem from the Italian collective.
