During the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards held on September 11 in Elmont, New York, Damiano David, the lead vocalist of the Italian rock band Måneskin, unveiled details about his forthcoming solo album. The project is slated for release on September 27, 2024. In an exclusive interview with The Associated Press, David expressed his excitement, stating, "I've been working for a long, long time on a new project and September 27 is the date of release, so I would love everyone to stay tuned."
David shared insights on how his solo work will differ from his contributions to Måneskin, hinting at an evolving sound. Teasing his fans, he commented, "There's going to be a lot of new things," while assuring them that Måneskin remains a priority. "The band is great. We are going to work on stuff. Nothing is going to change," he affirmed.
In a related development, fellow band member Victoria De Angelis took the stage at the VMAs, addressing recent rumors concerning the band's possible disbandment following their latest tour. De Angelis has also been working on her own solo project titled Get Up Bitch (Shake Ya Ass), which features Brazilian superstar Anitta. This move highlights the members' individual artistic pursuits while emphasizing their continued unity.
Notably, David stirred anticipation among fans with a cryptic teaser posted on his Instagram, showcasing a monologue that reads, "I travelled all around the world to find my voice, just to end up where everything's started." This has led fans to speculate about a potential new single or album under the title Everywhere.
Måneskin's previous album, Rush, released in 2023, garnered mixed reviews but was celebrated for its dynamic live performances. As fans eagerly await updates on both David's and De Angelis's projects, Måneskin's influence within the music industry continues to resonate widely.
