Italian duo GIANTHEO is formed by the talents of Giancarlo Prandelli and Matteo Sainaghi, known by his stage name Theo, who together, have been a staple in the Italian music scene for over two decades. Their collaboration began back in 2003 when the multi-talented producer and musician Giancarlo crossed paths with Theo, a seasoned rap composer and personal trainer.
They fused their talents, and names, to form GIANTHEO, a project that’s made a notable impact with its blend of pop writing, reflective lyrics and emotionally charged performances. Early in their journey, GIANTHEO made an impression with a rapid ascent in the Italian entertainment world. Their music earned them a spot on the popular TV show Le Iene, along with placements on compilation albums like Cantatù vol.6 and Superestate Latina. These achievements were only the beginning, as they went on to win the prestigious Festivalshow and performed at various venues across the country.
While both members pursued individual projects for a period, they eventually reunited to bring their unique talents back to the studio. This reunion sparked a series of successful singles in 2022 and 2023, marking an exciting return for the duo, earning them three Top Ten singles on the Italian Independent Charts in the past year.
Building on the momentum of their remarkable year in 2023, GIANTHEO has continued to deliver with the release of “Tommy al Lunapark” in May this year. Now, the duo returns with a brand new single titled “HEY TU,” a dazzling new song that serves as a declaration of love. Translating to ‘Hey You,’ the song is an invitation to reconnect with the true essence of music, one that reaches beyond appearances and touches the heart and soul.
Brought in by emotive vocals and delicate piano plinks, the arrangement gently builds with drifting atmospheric textures as blissful melodies float above. Rising to a stunning chorus of beautiful vocal melodies, the steady strike of drums and soft synth tones, “HEY TU” deliver an enthralling sound of indie pop brimming with moving songwriting and spectacular arrangement.
Once again showcasing the wide appeal of their shared sonic output, the duo serves up a spellbinding new song that’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Paired with the single is the music video directed by Alberto Alessi, which features scenes of GIANTHEO performing the song in the studio cut with shots of them on a dimly lit stage as rain falls, offering a cinematic and engaging visual accompaniment for the music.
