I WANNA BE YOUR SLAVEMåneskin1rank/position
The Italian rock band Måneskin, who won the Eurovision Song Contest in 2021 and shot to global stardom.
The song I’m introducing today is included on their album released the same year, Teatro d’ira: Vol.
I.
The track explores the perverse duality of love—domination and submission—powerfully voicing the multifaceted nature of humans, who can be both devil and saint.
With hard riffs that hint at glam rock and Damiano David’s explosive charisma on vocals, the sound sticks in your head after a single listen.
Its decadent, provocative mood makes it perfect for Halloween night.
The music video, which won at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards, is also well-known, so using its worldbuilding as a party concept could be fun.
If you’re looking to enjoy a slightly more mature Halloween vibe, be sure to check it out.
HONEY (ARE U COMING?)Måneskin2rank/position
Måneskin, the Italian rock band formed in Rome in 2016, continues to captivate fans around the world.
Their single released in January 2023 expresses a yearning for boundless love while challenging social norms.
According to the members, the song draws inspiration not only from romance but also from their journeys and adventures.
The lyrics, open to each listener’s interpretation, evoke not just a love song but also a sense of life’s journey and openness to new experiences.
Delivered with a powerful sound, its message is sure to give courage to those who hear it.
It’s an emotional track that I’d recommend even to those who’ve just started a rock band.
ZITTI E BUONIMåneskin3rank/position
A powerful track by a rising Italian band that’s paving the way for a new era of rock.
Released in March 2021, the song won both the Sanremo Music Festival and the Eurovision Song Contest, capturing attention across Europe.
Centered on themes of self-expression and challenging social stereotypes, it features a unique sound that fuses glam rock and indie rock.
Included on Måneskin’s second album, “Teatro d’ira: Vol.
I,” it sparked a major response worldwide, spending seven consecutive weeks at No.
1 on the UK Rock & Metal Singles Chart, among other achievements.
This work is recommended for those who value being true to themselves and want to live free from society’s expectations.
Beggin’Måneskin4rank/position
Måneskin, the Italy-born band that’s hugely popular on TikTok.
Among their tracks, Beggin’ is their most famous piece.
If you watch TikTok or YouTube Shorts, you’ve probably heard it at least once.
The song has a worn, gritty vibe that’s already cool on its own, but if you want to make it sound even cooler, try singing it when your voice isn’t in the best condition.
The raspier it gets, the cooler it sounds, so it’s perfect for karaoke at an after-party.
GOSSIP (ft. Tom Morello)Måneskin5rank/position
Opening with a bold and seductive guitar riff, “GOSSIP” is a masterpiece born from the collaboration between Måneskin and Tom Morello.
The powerful sound of the acclaimed Italian rock band is amplified by the presence of the legendary Rage Against the Machine guitarist, resulting in a track with immense weight and impact.
The twisted, cleverly crafted riff phrases and dynamic shifts deliver a striking impact that immediately pulls the listener in.
The song centers on a scathing critique of contemporary society steeped in pretense.
Through metaphors like a “city of lies” and a “circus,” it satirizes superficial values that obscure the truth, while urging listeners not to lose sight of their authentic selves deep within.
Released as a single from the album “RUSH!,” it’s an ambitious work that showcases the band’s evolution.
It’s highly recommended not only for rock fans, but for anyone seeking exhilarating, provocative music.
The LoneliestMåneskin6rank/position
Måneskin, the four-piece rock band from Italy that has dominated charts around the world including Japan.
“The Loneliest,” a track from their 2023 album RUSH!, is especially memorable for its beautiful, emotionally stirring chorus melody.
The phrase featuring a Whammy pedal-driven sound and tremolo picking imparts a sense of speed, and together with the dramatic ensemble, leaves a lasting impact.
It’s a classic rock ballad that showcased Måneskin’s new potential to listeners.
GASOLINEMåneskin7rank/position
Måneskin’s “GASOLINE” is a powerful work that calls for peace with a stirring message.
Created in 2022 to support Ukraine, the song clearly reflects the band’s stance.
When it premiered at Coachella 2022, vocalist Damiano drew attention by quoting the famous speech from Charlie Chaplin’s classic film The Great Dictator.
Just as their fashion and attitude seem to symbolize every kind of freedom, “GASOLINE” gives voice to young people standing up to forces that strip away liberty.
Shocking yet universally relatable in its plea for peace, it’s highly recommended for anyone concerned about the current state of the world.
