When an artist as bold and magnetic as Damiano David announces new music, you know it’s going to be big. This time, the Italian singer-songwriter (and Måneskin frontman we all know and love) has cooked up something truly special—his brand-new single “Talk to Me,” featuring Grammy-winning powerhouse Tyla and the legendary guitar genius Nile Rodgers.
Set to drop on Friday, September 12 at midnight GMT, the track promises to deliver Damiano’s signature raw lyricism, Tyla’s soulful vocals, and Rodgers’ iconic funk groove—all wrapped up in one unforgettable collaboration.
A Collaboration Written in the Stars
Damiano revealed that “Talk to Me” came to life in a burst of unexpected inspiration right before his tour. “I felt like the song needed a duet, and after hearing Tyla’s ‘Water,’ I just knew she was the perfect voice for it. Having Nile Rodgers add his legendary guitar? That was the icing on the cake,” he shared.
Tyla, who has been on a global rise since her Grammy win, said she instantly connected with the track’s nostalgic yet fresh vibe. “I heard myself on it right away,” she admitted. “My tygrs are gonna love this one!”
Meanwhile, Nile Rodgers, whose guitar has shaped countless hits across decades, described his role as “the third voice” in the track, adding, “It was just so much fun to work on.”
Riding High After Funny Little Fears
“Talk to Me” follows Damiano’s critically acclaimed debut solo album Funny Little Fears, which featured collabs with Suki Waterhouse, d4vd, and Labrinth, racking up over 800 million streams worldwide. Tracks like “Born With A Broken Heart,” “Next Summer,” and “Voices” have already proven his strength as a solo force, earning him two MTV VMA nominations this year, including Best Long Form Video and PUSH Performance of the Year.
Catch Damiano Live on His Global Tour
Fans won’t just have to stream—Damiano is taking his music around the world with a massive 2025 global tour. With 30+ dates across five continents, multiple sold-out shows, and even upgraded venues, the Rome-born artist is solidifying his place as one of today’s most exciting live performers.
From Rome to the World
From his rise with Måneskin—becoming the first Italian band to truly conquer the global stage—to now thriving as a solo artist, Damiano’s journey is nothing short of remarkable. With “Talk to Me” adding another chapter to his ever-growing legacy, it’s clear he’s not just making music—he’s making history.
