Anna
Bando

LA RECENSIONE

"Hey, Anna" starts like this, sounds Italian, and the track pumps you up! Then you hear: "Bando" and "Booster" and you're left feeling like when you say today's youth are all the same and they hit you with an "Ok Boomer" because you're old. After not catching even the conjunctions, despite belonging to generations: X Y Z and transuranic ones, you don't care about the meaning and you play it all over again, as Marco Masini would say "Why do you do it?", it's hypnotic.

Anna is a young woman, with a confident tone, telling you something about herself, and you're no longer interested in the words she uses. Even if the meaning of "Bando" is abandoned house, meaning: sketchy place, it doesn't matter, you're already on Google (which is even worse) looking it up on Urban dictionary. Putting aside the nuances, the language is fluid and clear, the tone exceptional and convincing. The basses of the track blend perfectly, you can perceive a pretty much homemade production of the piece that emerges aggressively nonetheless. Too repetitive, the track is perfected by instinctive and mathematical rhythm, a bit chant-like.
Regarding the message, Anna self-references, and it doesn't seem like a big over-the-top thing; the caricatured interpretation of rap that creates self-made characters falls a bit flat here because the Anna in the text has reached the top, fleeing from somewhere by overcoming various obstacles but ultimately is still the girl who signs the tracks with her first name.

Tik Tok with its criminal bass that makes you dance even at 70 years, has already sold the tune! The users are very young, and bags and boosters in the suburbs are seen without language barriers. So much suburb and easy money are the cursed clichés of rap and trap. Anna is 16 years old, and many representatives of light music at that age were certainly more banal, she perhaps lines up four themes that even older rappers stand on.
