There are records that speak of love and others that make you feel it, breathe it, live it, like a slowly rising fever . And "Scrivimi quando arriva (punto)," the debut album by eroCaddeo, released yesterday on all music platforms by Atlantic Records and Cvlto Music Group, rightfully belongs to the second category. Each song opens a different room: the vertigo of the beginning, the fragile quiet of habit, the wound of distance, the light that remains even when everything seems to end. And behind the last door, there is a song from over a hundred years ago, but now timeless, that consoles a heart pierced by distance: the lyric by the poet from Sarule Badore Sini "No potho reposare," the most beautiful and famous Sardinian love song.
The 27-year-old from Sinnai, second at X Factor 2025 and former winner of the Radiolina Contest, with his first album takes us by the hand on a journey of twelve songs in which the intimate story unfolds not only of a boy but of a generation still searching for itself in a rapidly changing world , with the fear of growing up, of taking the wrong direction, of losing itself before even discovering itself.
Starting from a musical intro - piano, violin, cello and double bass - we get to the heart of the matter with the stubborn melancholy of "Parlo ancora di te" , the uncertainty as a permanent state of "Metti che domani te ne vai" , and then in "Cani" the intimacy made of tiny gestures that are worth more than any formal promise.
Track number five is "Luglio," a hymn to Cagliari and to the affection that endures in small and large things, like a sunset on Poetto beach, sung as it was at the Fiera stadium last December 23rd, and here also in an acoustic version . And then there's the frantic need to conquer another "Five Minutes" of love and the awareness of how much it can hurt with "Gravità zero." And then there's the unreleased track spoiled in Cagliari, "Odio il caffè," a revulsion triggered by a special broken cup and the cold you can feel when you wake up alone.
