Set Your Style

In the last days the new Bugo album ” Contatti” hit the stores and after a deep listening I really enjoy it.

NAME
Bugo

HOW OLD ARE YOU?
not very old

in a flat in Milan

A SONG YOU LOVE ? NOT YOURS

WHO’S YOUR BEST FRIEND?
my Mac

YOUR LAST TRIP? AND THE NEXT ONE?
I went skiing in the Alps. Next trip? I’d love to go to Scandinavia.

NOW LET’S TALK ABOUT YOUR MUSIC.

THE TITLE OF YOUR NEW ALBUM IS “CONTATTI” IN ENGLISH “CONTACTS”. WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS TITLE AND WHAT DO YOU WANT TO TELL US?I chose this title because it means everything and nothing, it means opening and closing at the same time

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR LAST ALBUM COMPARED WITH YOUR PAST SONGS?
The same difference that there’s between a new toothpick and a used one…if you know what I mean…

WHERE DID YOU COMPOSE THIS ALBUM ?
At home, standing

WHY HAVE YOU DECIDED TO PUT ALL YOUR SONGS ON MY SPACE?
My neighbour asked me to do that

HOW DO YOU COMPOSE YOUR MUSIC? WHAT DO YOU USE AS AN INSPIRATION?
first, I write the lyrics and then I take a music previously recorded with my Mac and I sing over it. I don’t really like the word “inspiration”, I would say I just describe what I see, that’s way everything can enter my songs

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE STYLE OF YOUR MUSIC?
my music is hypermusic

ARE YOU HAPPY AT THE MOMENT ? AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY HAPPINESS?
Happiness doesn’t make any sense, living makes sense

HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT TO TRANSLATE YOUR SONGS IN ENGLISH?
No, my language is Italian. Just suppose that everyone in the world sings in English…so boring!

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR THE FUTURE?
To do what happens, just simple like that.
