An eclectic mix of retro influences: PUÀ shares debut album Animali
Following the release of singles ‘Touch Me,’ ‘Demelza,’ and ‘Magic Dance,’ PUÀ invites listeners into their world of diverse influences and inspirations on their debut album Animali.
Produced by: Edoardo Elia
Diving into the immersive sonic landscape crafted by PUÀ’s debut album, Animali, is akin to embarking on a journey through a kaleidoscope of retro influences. The Italian duo, comprised of singer-songwriter and producer Edoardo Elia and singer-songwriter and visual artist Simona Catalani, invites listeners into their world with a magnetic fusion of synth-pop and psychedelic indie rock.
From the very first notes of ‘Touch Me,’ the album’s vibrant laid-back opener, to the exotic allure of ‘King Grace,’ where Middle Eastern influences entwine seamlessly with their signature sound, PUÀ showcases an impressive command of diverse musical elements.
In ‘Touch Me,’ lyrics brim with vulnerability as they confess, “I’m so afraid that my words somehow could sound fake,” yet PUÀ’s sincerity shines through, giving the album a refreshing honesty rarely encountered in contemporary music. It’s this authenticity that infuses every chord and lyric with raw emotion, inviting listeners to connect.
With their debut offering, PUÀ reaffirms their position as rising stars in the ever-evolving music scene. Animali is an exploration of sound bound to resonate deeply with listeners, promising an exciting adventure ahead.
