We spoke to Interview: Giuseppe Cucè about crafting emotional cinema rooted in Italian songwriting, blending orchestral and analog textures with Mediterranean rhythms to create intimate, honest songs that invite deep listening and reflection. He shares how his sound has evolved into something more restrained and intentional, and discusses his latest release El mundo es verdadero, a deeply personal track from his album 21 grammi exploring truth, desire, and human transformation.
How would you describe your music to someone who’s never heard it?
I would describe my music as a form of emotional cinema.
It’s rooted in Italian songwriting but shaped by orchestral, analog sounds and Mediterranean rhythms.
I write songs that explore fragility, truth, desire, and transformation—music that doesn’t try to impress, but to remain.
Each song is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and recognize yourself in the spaces between the notes.
How has your sound evolved since you first started making music?
When I first started, my music was more instinctive and raw. I was searching for a voice, experimenting with form and language.
Over time, my sound has become more essential and intentional. I’ve learned the value of restraint—letting real instruments breathe, trusting silence, and allowing emotion to guide structure rather than trends.
Today my music is more cinematic and orchestral, but also more fragile and honest. It reflects not only how I write, but how I live
What’s a bizarre or unexpected inspiration behind one of your songs?
One of my songs was inspired by the moment right after a celebration ends—when the lights are still on, the music has stopped, and everyone has already left.
That strange emptiness, half beauty and half discomfort, stayed with me. It’s a moment people usually rush to escape, but I find it incredibly honest.
The song was born from that silence, from what remains when the performance is over and truth has no audience.
What’s the most memorable moment of your music career so far?
ne of the most memorable moments of my career wasn’t tied to a big stage or a specific achievement.
It was the first time a stranger told me that one of my songs helped them put words to something they had never been able to express.
In that moment, I understood that music doesn’t really belong to the person who writes it—it belongs to the people who recognize themselves in it.
Tell us all you can about your latest release and where and when to find it?
My latest release is El mundo es verdadero, the Spanish-language version of my song È tutto così vero.
It’s a deeply intimate track that explores truth, desire, and emotional exposure, blending Mediterranean and Latin influences with an analog, cinematic sound.
The song is part of the wider artistic journey of my album 21 grammi, where each track reflects on the weight of human experience and transformation.
El mundo es verdadero is available on all major streaming platforms worldwide, including Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube, and it can be found by searching my name, Giuseppe Cucè.
