Press Release – About Song:
Warm analog sounds, real instruments, and dynamic depth define this track, where the vocal interpretation of Vittorio Nacci and Brando Madonia seamlessly aligns with the introspective lyrics. The song explores the need for critical self-evaluation as a means of liberation, encouraging a release from excessive self-seriousness—a sentiment particularly relevant to both artists after their Sanremo experience and collaborations with major labels. This perspective fuels their decision to debut as a duo with a virtual and physical 45 RPM release on March 21, 202

“Τα γλυκά και απαλά φωνητικά μας διαπερνούν και νιώθουμε την αλήθεια τους μέσα μας .Με ειλικρίνεια και αγάπη μας προσεγγίζουν και είναι τόσο ευχάριστο αυτό. Η υπέροχη μεθυστική μελωδία ρίχνει τη χρυσόσκονή της με μια γοητευτική ροκ εκδοχή που θα λατρέψεις από την πρώτη στιγμή. Ο ρυθμός με τις διακριτικές και εύστοχες κινήσεις του σε παρασύρει μαζί του.”

Lyrics of Nuraini – Movers Of The Light
Movers of the light
Hiding your colours but nothing is black and white
You show the others the beauty in the flight
But can they take it? Colours so bright so you hide it and let it go
Moving you evoke the feeling of slow
In your black and white cloak
Show me your colourful wings
Then you spoke
And now I know
Flap flap of the wings the butterfly sings
The butterfly, the butterfly swim swim
Flap flap of the wings the butterfly sings
The butterfly, the butterfly swim swim
Never sleeping, you’re already awake
Sea dreaming in a different way
Pure reflection of beauty and grace
Oooh I can see you
And your secret is safe
Flap flap of the wings the butterfly sings
The butterfly, the butterfly swim swim
Flap flap of the wings the butterfly sings
The butterfly, the butterfly swim swim
We’re just floating
two drops in the ocean (like the waves)
Maybe we can make some waves
With the love we made (like the waves)
Flap flap of the wings the butterfly sings
The butterfly, the butterfly swim swim
Flap flap of the wings the butterfly sings
The butterfly, the butterfly swim swim
Butterfly swim swim
(Like the waves)
Like the waves, like the waves
(Like the waves)
Like the waves, like the waves
(Like the waves)
Like the waves, like the waves

“Η ωραία, ροκ νοσταλγική μελωδία αγκαλιάζει την καρδιά μας από την πρώτη στιγμή. Η ζεστασιά της και το πάθος της ανεβάζουν την αδρεναλίνη μας και μας δίνουν φτερά.
