Måneskin have shared details for an upcoming single called ‘Supermodel’, the track is set for release next Friday (13th May) you can find details of the track, and pre-save it here.
Eurovision… always a tricky thing to talk about, and yet everyone seems to have an opinion. Regardless of whether you think it’s all a bunch of overly earnest schlock, or a genuinely heart-warming moment of unity and comfort despite all of the world’s issues; it’s quite hard to take seriously. Which is why when something surfaces outside of the competition it still sounds like Eurovision. ABBA, for example – who doesn’t love ABBA – despite writing some of the best pop music of their era, still maintained the glossy, international relations aesthetic that launched them in the first place. It’s possible that Måneskin are aware of this, and that was some of the influence for their single last year, ‘MAMMAMIA’. I like to hope they have this level of self-awareness anyway.

Aside from the new single, the band are also set to begin their massive US, EU, and UK tour soon. In a video on their socials, the band explained how the tour should play out after months of rescheduling, “The Loud Kids Get Louder tour will actually see our very first headline tour in North America, All our rescheduled European indoor dates have been upgraded due to demand + we’ve added some new ones for all of you who missed the chance to get their tickets.”
“We really want to thank you for being so understanding during this long period as we got this in place. We know you’ve been waiting patiently for this announcement, and we feel very grateful towards all our beloved fans for your love, support and understanding. We missed you and we missed performing, and we cannot wait to play for you all again!” See here for full ticket information.
While on the subject of Eurovision, the UK entrant, TikTok sensation Sam Ryder, wowed fans during the first rehearsals for the competition that is set to go ahead next Saturday (May 14th). You can check out a video of the performance below, but despite the fact that people seem to think this is our best chance in years to actually score some points, the win is pretty much guaranteed for Ukraine. While this is a music competition, the politics are undeniable, and offering Ukraine the opportunity to make themselves heard during these times is a probability that I think most countries will allow for.
