THE REVIEW

The recent release of the new single "Milano" by the well-known YouTuber, streamer, and musician Dudubbi (pseudonym of Simone Santoro) sparked my curiosity about his previous music. To get as complete a picture as possible, I also listened to his previous work "Cyao" with Futuryo.
The songs overall can be divided into two major categories: some seem like a poor imitation of bland pop-pop/rock by Modà or Studio 3, outdated by about fifteen years and not at all original. Others sound like third-rate 90s cartoon theme songs, only missing the choruses with Cristina D'Avena and Giorgio Vanni.
The music is not very impactful, the voice wanders aimlessly from song to song, showing insecurity even in interpretation (in "Milano" it is quite annoying), the lyrics are nondescript, and the metrics tiresome.
It is also regrettable the lack of collaboration with Mercanti di Orecchie, distinguished colleagues who entertain Twitch Italy with their light and minimalist style through mystical musical sessions with just piano and guitar. The emblem of maestro Dudubbi's pseudo-conception of music is all in the cover of "Cyao": Simone may indeed be a passionate, studious, fanatical, and critical person regarding musical intents, but he demonstrates little sophistication and perhaps too much, excessive superficiality in the result.
