There is an oblique trajectory that takes Eddie Brock to the Ariston stage. It is not born in talent, it is not consumed in the corridors of the industry, but between shifts as a tour operator, football games and songs written at night.
“Avvoltoi”, the song that brings him to the Ariston stage for the first time and which marks an important step in his artistic journey.
Roman, born in 1997, Brock arrives at the Festival driven by a viral wave but rooted in an empathetic writing, more interested in cracks than in poses. On the covers evening he will share the stage with Fabrizio Moro on the notes of Portami via, sealing a symbolic passage between generations.
We meet him a few days after his debut.
THE INTERVIEW
Let's start with Vultures. What story does it tell?
I wrote the song borrowing a friend of mine's story. I don't like pure autobiography, it bores me after a while.
I prefer to absorb other people's lives, make them my own. Here I'm talking about when you're in love but you don't want to admit it, when you stop at the surface for fear of getting burned.
Share bodies, not feelings.
Who, then, are the “vultures”?
They are the ones who wait for you to be fragile. They circle around until you weaken and then they strike. This applies to love, work, everywhere. It's a broad, non-moralizing image. I was interested in the idea of vulnerability as a terrain of conquest.
Was your path to Sanremo sudden?
Sudden yes, but not random. I released a record in May without great expectations. I was in a dark moment, I almost thought about quitting. Then a song exploded on TikTok. I can't explain how. I just know that I continued to do what I liked.
What does making your debut at Ariston mean to you?
It is a point of arrival and a starting point. Not just musical, human. I made sacrifices, I worked in the morning and recorded in the evening. Getting on that stage is a dream, with all the anxiety it entails.
In the evening of cover duets with Fabrizio Moro. How did this choice come about?
It has always been my desire. If one day I had gone to Sanremo, I would have called him. And now it really happens. Singing Portami via together is a generational meeting, but also a dialogue between writings that put words at the centre.
What is your relationship with the name Eddie Brock?
It was born when I was a kid, when I was freestyling and needed a stage name. He's the comic book character, the anti-hero. But there is no dualism: Eddie and Edoardo are the same person.
What do you want to see left of this Sanremo?
Let it be said: “It was fine there”. That someone really gets emotional. The ranking is not my goal. Emotion yes.
