Osvaldo Supino, “Gold” | Track Review

Independent Italian pop musician Osvaldo Supino returns with his second single of 2022, the uplifting and inspired “Gold.”

“E

very time it makes me stronger / I’m made of gold.” Woo! Italian pop musician Osvaldo Supino sure knows how to lift the spirit on his single, “Gold”. In addition to lifting spirits and showing incredible resolve, the LGBTQ+ artist also knows how to make us dance.  With an exuberant and energetic backdrop supporting him (Supino and Riley Smith), Supino delivers a surefire bop everybody can get behind.  He wrote “Gold” alongside Emily Ili.

It’s not all happiness from Osvaldo, at least early on.  “Feel the collapse of the world, got it falling down / On me, on me,” he sings in the first verse.  Similarly, in the second verse, Supino is ‘on the struggle bus,’ asserting, “It’s overwhelming to convince myself that I’m / Worthy, worthy.” Low self-esteem and feeling like you’re less than others is a horrible yet relatable feeling.  Despite the hell that he’s experiencing, Osvaldo knows that he’s got to turn it around – he’s the best candidate! Despite the bad and blue days, he asserts, with strength, “Yeah, I know I got me, myself, and I / Always find the light / Every time it makes me stronger / I’m made of gold.”  The chorus is the biggest and brightest section of this uplifting dance-pop gem, particularly when Supino shows off his flawless upper register.

Final Thoughts

Osvaldo Supino may have his fair share of problems, but musicianship and talent aren’t one of them! He “shines bright like a diamond” on “Gold”, his second single of 2022 ( “Body Burning” was his first).  He sings beautifully, the songwriting is authentic, honest, and relatable, and the production – well – it kicks ass and takes names. “Gold” truly is golden by my estimations!
