I nuovi spazi di Marco Mengoni

Interviews, Society & Culture

Marco Mengoni is the artist representing Italy in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, singing the ballad L’essenziale.

Michael spoke with Marco about what the song means to him in this part of his career and the sorts of sounds he has been creating for his new album #PRONTOACORRERE.

The Beatles even got a mention, and Michael was even able to make this Italian sex symbol blush.
