Italian Summer Song Drought Sparks Social Media Collaboration

In a recent video posted on social media, a young Italian woman named Eva Calvani expresses concern about the lack of a breakout Italian summer hit song in 2025. Calvani, who describes herself as a music enthusiast, notes that Il Volo, a popular Italian trio, has unexpectedly released a Spanish-language reggaeton song, while Lorella Cuccarini and Ricky have announced a new summer single. "We're losing the pieces," Calvani states in her video, "Someone needs to step up." She then appeals to her viewers, asking for ideas to create a new summer hit. Calvani's video reflects a broader sentiment among some Italian music fans who feel that the summer of 2025 lacks a defining anthem. Her initiative to crowdsource ideas highlights the power of social media in shaping musical trends.
