Annalisa and Madame together: listen to "Amica"

Annalisa and Madame join voices for the first time on "Amica", the track from the album "But I am fire" which now returns in a new version. The duet has been available since today, September 18, via Atlantic Records/Warner Music Italy, a year after the album's release, and marks the symbolic closing of this phase of Annalisa's career, ahead of her upcoming date at San Siro.
Written by Annalisa together with Paolo Antonacci, Davide Simonetta and Julien Boverod, "Amica" was conceived as an imaginary dialogue with someone able to offer a point of reference in the disorientation that follows the end of a relationship. In the new version, that exchange takes shape and voice thanks to Madame, fresh off her third album "Disincanto", certified gold.
The presence of the singer-songwriter from Vicenza transforms the original monologue into a real exchange between two women, heightening the song's central theme: the freedom to show yourself without filters in front of someone special, allowing yourself the right to be fragile, angry, melancholy, unfair and even completely wrong, knowing that on the other side there is someone willing to do the same.

The collaboration comes as Annalisa prepares for a major new chapter in her career. The singer-songwriter has in fact announced her first concert at Milan's San Siro stadium, scheduled for June 12, 2027. The event was unveiled through a trailer directed by filmmaker and photographer Nabil Elderkin, based on an idea by Annalisa herself: in the images, the artist symbolically travels through the different phases of her career, meeting the many versions of herself built up over the years, before arriving at the new transformation set to take shape on the San Siro stage.
The show will trace over fifteen years of activity, from her early days to her most recent hits, following the musical and visual evolution that has especially marked recent years. In keeping with her most recent tours, the concert will be built as an ever-shifting show, alternating spectacular, high-energy moments with more intimate passages, once again giving a central role to the fusion of music, performance and image.

In a recent social media post, Annalisa also published a letter addressed to her fans, speaking of the "end of a journey" and "new horizons". Words that many fans interpreted as a possible return to her early songs, alongside an abandonment of the electropop phase that brought her hits like "Bellissima", "Mon Amour" and "Sinceramente", but also plenty of criticism over an alleged commercial turn. Some even speculated about a dramatic retirement from the scene or a break in her career.

"I thought long and hard about the right way to close this era, even though, by its very nature, 'But I am fire' keeps burning in my thoughts with the same insistence as that voice that never stops whispering in my ear about new horizons and new stories," Annalisa writes on Instagram. "And thinking about it, maybe it's precisely because of that insistent voice that we'll find ourselves on June 12 of next year, reliving this era together with all the others in a single concert, in an almost mystical place that has long been a symbol: San Siro. But despite this solid milestone approaching so quickly, the truth is that I am certain journeys I would never want to return from, and this is one of them: I can still see the months spent in the studio, those days that wore you out because of how deeply they dug into you, and then the shape the songs took, almost always unexpected, and finally the shows, so many of them, and certain precise moments, all those vibrations, all those people who together with me became a single creature capable of turning every shadow into energy. You. So, I thought the ending should be celebrated together, just like the beginning and everything that happened in between. Never forgetting that the end of one journey always opens onto new horizons, know that I'm coming. And it's beautiful. Your friend, A.," the Ligurian popstar concludes.
