Italian singer-songwriter and rapper Irama has released ‘Lentamente', his first release in Spanish.
This release follows the Italian version released earlier this week supporting his performance at Sanremo Festival which will see him duet ‘Say Something' by Christina Aguilera and A Great Big World, in collaboration with Arisa. Watch the video for ‘Lentamente' below:
‘Lentamente' was written by Irama with Blanco, Giuseppe Colonnelli and Michelangelo in production. Already a household name in Italy, Irama has amassed 47 Platinum records, 4 Gold records, nearly 2 Billion streams, and over 900 Million video views.
With ‘Lentamente', Irama delivers a gut-wrenching soft rock ballad that captures the raw emotion of heartbreak, blending melancholic, unforgettable melodies with powerful, soaring vocals.
In Irama’s own words, “With this song, I sing about a visceral love that slowly destroys itself on both sides until it crumbles. “Lentamente” is a different song for me, with raw and transparent lyrics that lay me bare.”
Following his new Billboard Italia cover feature, this release reaffirms his status as one of the most compelling and versatile voices in contemporary music. Irama’s artistry is deeply rooted in his early love for music, inspired by the poetic storytelling of legendary Italian singer-songwriters like Fabrizio De André and Francesco Guccini. He began writing songs at the age of 7, drawn to the power of music as a vessel for introspection. This early passion paved the way for his breakthrough in 2016, when he competed in the Sanremo Festival with ‘Cosa Restarà', a track that not only introduced him to a national audience but also earned him a gold certification. From that moment on, IRAMA’s career was a relentless climb, fueled by his ability to blend soulful lyricism with genre-defying soundscapes.
