'Voices' marks a major moment in Damiano Davids’s solo career, it’s the fourth drop and opening track from his upcoming debut album 'Funny Little Fears', out May 16 via Sony Music Italy / Arista. And if this is the vibe, we’re in for something far more emotional and personal than anything we’ve heard from him before. It’s not Måneskin 2.0, it’s a deep breath. A new chapter.
Choosing to lead with this track is no accident; it’s unexpected, and it resets the narrative. After the international whirlwind of Eurovision and rock stardom, 'Voices' says: this isn’t about being loud anymore, it’s about being real
And honestly? It’s kinda badass: "All these voices / They’re gonna find me wherever I go."
The refrain is simple but devastating. It captures the inescapability of internal struggle, anxiety that lingers even in silence, even in success. The performance doesn’t beg for sympathy; it simply states the truth. And that honesty makes it even more affecting.
‘Voices’ isn’t a song built to move bodies, it’s designed to sit heavy in the chest, to echo after the final chord fades. It’s heartbreak with a hangover, and no filter.
Sonically, ‘Voices’ is as minimal as anything he’s ever released—acoustic guitar, sparse production, and a voice that sounds both wounded and unwavering. Think early Alex Turner with Hozier’s soulful depth. There’s a hint of Jeff Buckley-style ache, but it still feels like Damiano, just a version we haven’t really met yet.
That sense of openness is unmistakable. And the accompanying acoustic video drives the message home: no elaborate lighting, no heavy production—just a mic, a guitar, and a man wrestling with his thoughts.
If ‘Voices’ is any indication, ‘Funny Little Fears’ will be less about reinvention and more about revelation. Damiano isn’t trying to outrun his past or reinvent his image. He’s simply letting go of the armour. This new chapter is quieter, more personal, and ironically more powerful for it.
