Liqueedo releases new single “1999”

Based in the Italian city of Salerno, Liqueedo is the compelling new musical venture of singer-songwriter Arturo Molinara. A lifelong admirer of English music and the culture of Albion, Arturo has long been surrounded by the sounds of indie and Britpop, infusing his own songwriting with a distinctly UK-leaning aesthetic.

His early adventures in music began with his band Oceans, where he cut his teeth playing local venues before hitting the road for a wider tour across Italy. But like many creative journeys, his path wasn’t linear; a serious accident forced him into an extended hiatus, pausing what once felt like inevitable momentum. When the world slowed during the pandemic, Arturo found the quiet necessary to return to his musical background. Reuniting with longtime collaborators Andrea Bruno, Gianmario Galano and Federico Cozza, he unearthed forgotten demos and half-finished ideas, dusting them off and breathing new life into them.

The result was Liqueedo, a fusion of memory and modernity, where the ghosts of the past are reimagined through a modern lens. Noted Italian radio DJ and producer Marco Biondi, known for his work with Radio Deejay, Virgin Radio, and Radio Rock 106.6, has already been impressed by the project and helped bring Liqueedo into the fold of SorryMom!, where the artist now finds a home under the GOLDMINE Records imprint.

In May last year he unveiled the Liqueedo project with the debut single “Out Of Nowhere” and now he returns with the follow up, his sophomore single titled “1999.” While indie rock forms the backbone of the song, its structure is laced with shimmering Britpop hooks, melodic indie pop flourishes and just the right amount of nostalgic dreaminess.

Set up by the delicate flicker of bright piano notes and drone of drifting bass synth texture, the song comes crashing into focus with the crunch of lightly gritty guitars and punching drums, forming an upbeat indie rock scene as Arturo’s smooth vocals enter. Threading wistful melodies into the hazy musical fabric of soft synth tones and sparse percussive shots, the arrangement launches into an epic chorus of steady rhythmic groove and instantly catchy vocal hooks.

Brimming with Britpop charm and memorable vocal performance backed by engaging instrumentation, “1999” sees Liqueedo deliver a timeless sound of wide pop-focused rock appeal that puts his original musical output and performance talent on full display. With his debut full-length record on the horizon, we can’t wait to see what comes next from this exciting artist on the rise throughout the rest of 2025 and beyond.
