Relax is the new album by Calcuttasinger-songwriter born in Latina in 1989.
After the live session on 14 and 15 October, which allowed the fans who flocked to Villa Medici in Rome to listen to the tracks in preview, the album arrived on streaming and in music stores on Friday 20th.
The promotion of Relax
Calcutta is certainly not a conventional artist. And, conventional, the promotion of could not have been either Relax. For the launch of the new album, the singer from Lazio has “occupied” an entire building in the Darsena of Milan. “Relax. Take it easy” reads the large pink sign on the facade. A response to Mayor Sala’s appeal (who asked for a “slower” Milan) but also a brilliant promotional system. Which, however, was not the only one. Edoardo D’Erme, this is his real name, asked Sara J Asmr, among the most famous exponents of the ASMR world in Italy, to “whisper” the tracks contained in the album in a video. The result? A surreal film, at times disturbing but for some relaxing, which contains all the essence of Calcutta’s poetics.

The text of 2 minutesthe single he anticipated Relax
After four years of silence, Calcutta brought the new single to the radio, 2 minutesfirst track from the album Relax.
Two minutes
The way before it’s too late to change your mind
Then walk like this, with your eyes closed
I feel something coming at me
Maybe a tide
A lot of don’t tell you
Don’t tell yourself that
Like lightning over the city
I saw you in the corner
Alone in traffic
But maybe it wasn’t even you
And I quickened my pace to leave
My heart is in panic
The plaster face
But maybe you weren’t,
Maybe you weren’t
Not even you
Two minutes
All the thoughts to forget
And to leave it here
But then it never goes that way
And I wrote a Gospel that talks about you
But it’s too late now
And I’m afraid to tell you
Like lightning over the city
I saw you in the corner
Alone in traffic
But maybe it wasn’t even you
And I quickened my pace to leave
My heart is in panic
The plaster face
But maybe you weren’t,
Maybe you weren’t
Not even you
And think of you
In your arms
Maybe it’s the only thing that saves me
It is like
In thinking of you
To your lips
Maybe it’s the only thing that saves me
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Like lightning over the city
I saw you in the corner
Alone in traffic
But maybe it wasn’t even you
And I quickened my pace to leave
My heart is in panic
The plaster face
But maybe you weren’t,
Maybe you weren’t
Not even you
In the song Calcutta seems to narrate an unexpected event, or ratherthe avoided chance encounter with a person who deeply desires: his secret love, or an ex whose feelings he would like to confess are still present.
This moment triggers a series of emotions that the protagonist struggles to manage, leading him to decide to speed up his pace to avoid actually meeting the person he’s talking about: the anxiety in his heart, the pale face.
Because, in two minutes, your mood can change. And anything can happen. Also that, in reality, the person was not who he thought he was: “But maybe, in reality, you weren’t, Maybe you weren’t, It wasn’t even you.”
