You know the saying “if it rains, it pours”? There you have it. If you notice my sporadic updates, I am having difficulty with my internet connection. It might be wireless but it is so darn slowwwww and sometimes it implodes in the middle of the session that I end up not posting anything anymore. Like a few minutes ago.
At the same time, the urge to tell stories isn’t always there. I might be experiencing a sort of blogging disease, which I am trying to fight. Blame my pursuit of happiness.
Anyway, I finally got around with the social networking sites. If you have a Facebook account, please feel free to be a member of Euro Music Talk. Discuss, debate, argue, express your ideas and what have you.
Armed with a new double album titled “e2,” the Italo rock singer highlights his duet with Latin singer Ricky Martin. The album, which could be a math equation, stands for Eros’ name and the number 2 meaning the double album. The singer just turned 44 yesterday. “Non siamo soli” (We Are Not Alone) also serves as the first single.
The music video might portray lots of gyrating women and Latin American singer Ricky swinging his butt but this isn’t about love and seduction. It is actually a song about global awareness and how to save what’s left of it. Apart from its original Italian version, a Spanish version is also released for the benefit of the singers’ Spanish-speaking audience. Eros has also cultivated fandom on the other side of the Atlantic.
“I thought about global problems. Things like how to make the world a better place,” he told Woman, a Viennese women’s magazine, early this month.
“And if you have a child you tend to worry about the future.” He continued.
This is not the first time he collaborated with other musicians. A year ago he and Anastacia took the European charts by storm with the song “I Belong to You (Il Ritmo Della Passione).” It was part of Anastacia’s greatest hits, “Pieces of Dream.” The two played lovers on the video but that was it.
The singer, who was born in Rome, Italy, whose fans are mostly women hasn’t hooked up with anyone after the singer’s painful marriage.
He used to be married with Swiss-born model/actress/singer Michelle Hunziker, 30, from 1998 to 2002. They have an 11-year-old daughter Aurora.
The fairy-tale union ended in 2002 and legal battles have followed.
His fans might welcome the idea of a single Eros but the singer is playing safe at this moment.
“I am not going out with anyone, because it’s difficult… There are many opportunities but these are very superficial ones. Love is so irrational and it’s not so easy (to start all over again) after you had given everything to a relationship.”
He celebrates his 20-year career in the music business.
Usually music festivals happen during summer but not so often. If you happen to be somewhere between Vienna, Austria and Reykjavík, Iceland, starting from this month till the middle of October you might want to check out Kulttour Rocks Vienna and Iceland Airwaves 2007.
Kulttour features Austria’s shooting pop/rock star Christina Stürmer, who is the current darling of Austropop, will be there along with Germany’s Nevada Pop and Sorgente. Sugababes from United Kingdom is the highlight tonight at 5:30 p.m.
While Iceland Airwaves 2007 takes place starting October 17 every year till the 21st. GusGus will be one of the featured bands.
This site boasts the goodness of the "happening" music scene in Europe: exotic, experimental, engaging. Whether it is pop, rock or indie.
It also covers the European musicians that should be taken seriously by the rest of the world. Often these artists are snubbed due to their foreign lyrics (language barrier?) and musical cheesiness (do all of them yodel or sing chansons?).
Most, of all it is everything in between, too. Get ready for the ride!
