Synth Rock from Ninni

Ninni, the Naples-based multi-instrumentalist and artist, has released his latest single “Have Fun (Remastered 2023)”. With his previous tracks garnering tens of thousands of streams, Ninni continues to prove himself to be a staple of the indie music scene in Italy and beyond.

The track originally took shape last summer, and Ninni has since reinforced the idea of a tune that doesn’t necessarily follow the typical structure of a song with verse, chorus, bridge and ending. Instead, he offers a track that is close in length to a disco club track, with a sort of overture, as it often happens in classical music, with different durations. The song is a genre much loved by the artist, and he played, arranged, remixed and remastered the song himself. The lyrics of the song remind us that we cannot remain indifferent to the suffering of others and how often we are powerless in the face of it, with sonic inspiration coming from works such as Radiohead’s “Paranoid Android” and Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

“Have Fun (Remastered 2023)” opens with atmospheric synth tones before abstract vocal lines enter and driving percussion that instantly captivates the listener. Ninni’s energetic synth rock sound is evident in the whirling synth tones that follow, which blend seamlessly with the floating vocals that twist and turn throughout the song. The synth riffs are complex, creating a dynamic sound that pushes the track forward. The song’s instrumentation is mixed expertly, creating a clear and crisp sound that fills the room.

The lyrics of the song are delivered in English and Neapolitan, which adds to the track’s originality. The song’s message is poignant, reminding us of our powerlessness in the face of the suffering of others. The track’s emotional intensity is palpable, and the vocals are raw and honest, conveying the song’s message effectively.

Ninni’s ability to blend varied musical cultures is clear in “Have Fun (Remastered 2023).” The track incorporates a range of musical genres, including synth rock, disco and classical music, creating a sound that’s wholly unique. The song’s structure is unorthodox, with the song’s length and overture-like intro defying traditional conventions. This experimentation with form is what makes the song stand out from the crowd.

“Have Fun (Remastered 2023)” is a stunning release from Ninni. The track is full of energy, with its driving percussion beat and dynamic instrumentation. The lyrics of the song are profound, and the blend of English and Neapolitan adds to the track’s originality. “Have Fun (Remastered 2023)” is a must-listen for anyone who loves indie music and wants to discover something new and entirely captivating.
