After winning the prestigious Premio Tenco for Best Début with his first album, Un
meraviglioso declino, Lorenzo Urciullo - best known as Colapesce - has kept things fresh
and surprising, balancing refined songwriting, pop music and experimentation.
Colapesce was listed by The Guardian as an example of Italian music fit to be exported abroad. Previously, he had been mentioned in NME as one of the best pop products in a language other than English.
Infedele, his latest album, was released in October 2017 to critical and popular
acclaim. More than an album, it is a declaration of love towards music, free of the
rules and constraints of genre. Co-produced by Colapesce, IOSONOUNCANE and Mario Conte, Infedele is alive with an infinity of different nuances, pop and experimental at the same time, influenced by Brazilian tropicali and Portuguese fado, drawing from the world of soundtracks and flirting shamelessly with jazz and electronica.
Le Monde gave him a full page, defining him the most credible heir to Lucio Dalla
and Franco Battiato, and listed Egomostro among the best albums of 2015.
Colapesce collaborates regularly as a songwriter with some of the biggest names in
Italian pop. Writer Francesco Pacifico, on IL of Il Sole 24 Ore, defined him "...sort of
a Sicilian David Byrne". Lorenzo laughed it off.
