💥Måneskin’s Thomas Raggi Announces Collaboration-Fuelled Solo Album💥

The musician is a key part of what makes the Italian idols tick, and he has helped them move from being mere Eurovision hopefuls to becoming bona fide internationally recognised stars.

Now he’s going it alone. Well, sort of.

New album ‘Masquerade’ features a raft of guests, with the likes of Tom Morello, Beck, Nic Cester, Alex Kapranos, Maxim, Hama Okamoto, Sergio Pizzorno, Chad Smith, Matt Sorum, Luke Spiller and Upsahl all contributing.

Out on December 5th – pre-order the album here – Thomas Raggi introduces the record with a statement to fans…

This album is the result of a lot of work and dedication, it’s fueled by the desire to share my story through music and to explore new depths within myself through experimentation and discovery. But at the same time it came together naturally.

Over the past year, Tom involved me countless times in his live shows and initiatives. It was spontaneous for me to ask him to produce and structuring my solo project. Starting this journey was truly magical and further cemented our musical cohesion. And then what happened afterwards was beyond anything I could have imagined.

Seeing so many musical icons come together (along with the ones I  had the pleasure of meeting while writing the album)  reminded me that music knows no boundaries; that you have to follow your instinct and inspiration, ignore imposed rules, and simply do what you feel.The Måneskin story teaches  me that, and now I had  the ultimate confirmation.I feel as if those who made music history are placing a hand on my shoulder, saying: “You’re on the right path.”
