Almost two hours of music and fun, without barriers or fences, as in the style of Thomas Paradise. Typical sounds of Italian indie, to which the Roman artist has also acted as a “father” by making the general public savour it, mix with the more mature, catchy and commercial tracks, in a concert, the one in Villa Bellini of Catania“true” in its being. Appreciated by the Sicilian public, with qualitative sound and atmosphere of contact, who today in the second stage on the Island will be able to enjoy it also at Palermoalways within the scope of the “Wave Summer Music”the travelling festival organised by Giuseppe Rapisarda Management.
A slightly re-modulated schedule compared to what was planned (skip Your sweater mine And Son of the sea), necessity linked to the absence of two members of the group. “Blocked” at Linate for the Crowdstrike case, which caused flights to be cancelled and caused disruption throughout Italy. “We almost didn’t make it, but in the end we’re here, even if we’re not all there,” said the 41-year-old singer-songwriter. Wearing a typical summer green T-shirt and shorts: “You think I’m dressed like this because it’s hot, but in reality it’s to show off my beautiful legs,” ironically addressing the audience. A direct look at the people, between reading the banners and a “I wish I was with you over there, singing and having fun. We’ll do it together.”
The singing “baptism” is with Amazing feelingthe common thread between the new of the last album and what has been in the Journey around the sun. And then End of the summer telling the “analogue” spirit in contrast to the digital one that brings development but when it jams it risks stopping the world. Emotions, no, those only make us human. And that Tommaso feels when he reads a “request”, from an entire family, to dedicate Completely to Nicholaswhich is no longer there: final letter, because that song will close the concert and then there will be time for a hug in the dressing room for the parents and little brother.
In the middle, a Paradise that regulates the fans on stage and talks a lot with the band, with whom the relationship is really strong. An empathy that emerges, artistically and not only. “Enjoy, think, exist, us, fly, together, love”: concepts exposed in LEDs, while he tells Sold Out. A sincere journey Between the road and the stars. And then New York, Ice Blue Overwhelming and Our Years: well-known and appreciated songs, in a live show that gives smiles. This Our stupid love song provides the backdrop to the announced wedding between Mirko And Luciawhile in remember me it’s up to the entire audience to “act” as sax, to accompany the performance. A beautiful and successful experiment. And then we dance, without stopping, with The Moon and the Catall without respite, like a cocktail to be gulped down, making the time pass quickly. After all, that’s how it is when you’re having fun.
There is also space for the piano, two songs that make you dream: Promiscuity And Maybe Nor, performed alone by Tommaso Paradiso himself. We return to the “group” for Do not be afraid And Riccionewe sing at the top of our lungs. Before the “encores”, there is Dr. House out of “set list”, a song that dates back to the magnetic period of the The Journalistsromantic and authentic. Great closing with Happiness Bitch And Completelya goodbye that leaves you with so much energy…
