Maneskin frontman David dances in second solo single video

(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 25 - Maneskin frontman Damiano David, taking a break from the world-beating Roman rock band to pursue a solo career, has followed up his debut single Silverlines with a second piece, Born With A Broken Heart, whose video has just come out showing the 25-year-old rocker sporting his new 50s screen star look and dancing as if in a classic Hollywood musical.
    "The video represents my imagination" says David, whose band became a global smash after winning the Sanremo Song Festival and the Eurovision Song Contest.
    "A world where, no matter what, once you walk through the door, everything becomes magical and beautiful.
    "It's a way of saying that not everything that is negative will hurt you, but sometimes it will actually take you to the next chapter of your life.
    "We all have the ability to transform negative experiences into something meaningful for us." Born With A Broken Heart is a song full of energy, in apparent contrast with the deeply soulful and emotional lyrics.
    Despite being born from a difficult period in the singer's life, the song is characterized by a catchy chorus and a sound that gives lightness to the depth of the lyrics.
    "When I wrote this song, I was coming out of a very dark moment," he says.
    "I felt apathetic and I was afraid of having lost my ability to feel and experience feelings, both positive and negative.
    "All this happened at the moment in which I was starting the most important relationship of my life and the fear of not being ready or up to it was enormous," he said, referring to his break-up after nearly six years with Italian model and influencer Giorgia Soleri, and his new relationship with American actress and singer Dove Cameron.
    "I think this song was a way to make sense of what I was feeling, looking at everything from a less scary perspective.
    "I'm happy that I don't feel that way anymore, but I think that many people can relate to this sense of inadequacy".
    A few days ago, Damiano made his solo debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon where he performed live his first solo single Silverlines (produced by Labrinth) and gave the world premiere of Born With A Broken Heart. (ANSA).
