Måneskin frontman Damiano David steps into the spotlight alone to confront his future with FUNNY little FEARS.
Damiano David is fearless and ready to rewrite the rules, and has no interest in playing things safe. With his debut solo album FUNNY little FEARS, the enigmatic frontman of Måneskin breaks away from the glam-rock leanings of his band and dives headfirst into a world of vulnerability, reflection, and musical liberation. It’s a noticeable pivot from the high-octane strut of Eurovision stardom, and it lands with the weight of someone truly baring his soul for the first time.
FUNNY little FEARS is a 14-track trip that rips through the walls of every single genre and emotional barriers alike, anchored by the aching, arena-sized anthem “Born With A Broken Heart.” You’ll also find yourself swooning to the single “Next Summer,” a moody, open-veined track that pulses with longing and release. “This album is my manual,” Damiano confesses. “I’ve always been afraid - of heights, of darkness, of myself. Sometimes I still am. But writing this was a way through.”
And you can feel it. The album doesn’t just look fear in the eyes… it dances with it, seduces it, and doesn’t shy away from screaming in its face. From stripped-down piano confessionals to swirling alt-pop moments, David sheds the glam polish for something far more personal. It's a record built on contradictions; it’s delicate yet defiant, tender but unflinching.
With FUNNY little FEARS, Damiano David officially steps out from the glare of his band’s meteoric rise and into a space that feels like his own. The voice is still powerful, still unmistakable - but now it’s saying things you haven’t heard before. From the cobblestone streets of Rome to the world’s biggest stages, David’s evolution has been nothing short of impressive.
