In a culture where music can express oneself and criticize society, Francesca Pichierri presents her latest single from her upcoming concept album, Cellule Stronze, titled "Amen." More than a song, it is a courageous experience of the way people react to illness that is presented in an infectious, dance groove. From the opening "Amen" captivates the listener with pulsating rhythm and shimmering synths.
Pichierri mixes several influences, including a mind-bending blend of '70s disco, '90s dance-pop, funk, and even aspects of gospel music, which gives "Amen" a sonic feel that listeners would expect from an artist associated with the alternative music genre. Pichierri's soulful vocals effortlessly float on top of the upbeat instrumentation, filled with epigrammatic irony in her lyricism while dissecting things such as the nature of society's reactions to adversity.
"Amen" is a danceable tune, but it has a deeper, personal, and universal issue: people seem to tend to retreat when faced with illness. Pichierri questions the contradictions of how people interact with one another. She points to those who share their prayers and kind words yet evaporate when there is a time for vulnerability to come alongside one another.
In Pichierri's biting honesty, she can transform this painful reality into an anthem that is an opportunity for reflection keeping one's dance on their feet. Francesca Pichierri is no newcomer to being recognized for doing the profound work of songwriting, artistry, and discussions while turning heads and hearts along the way as a sociologist.
"Amen" is more than a pop song, it's a declaration, a chance to have a dialogue, and proof that Pichierri makes meaningful music with both depth and purpose. In addition to Cellule Stronze turning out to be a compelling narrative concept album, "Amen" lets us see an artist not afraid to challenge the status quo and speak to topics that matter. Definitely a song you need to hear.
