Interview Between Time.news Editor and Tananai
Editor: Welcome, Tananai! It’s an absolute pleasure to have you here today. I recently heard about your duet with Annalisa at the Assago Forum for the Calmocobra Live 2024 tour. What was that experience like for you?
Tananai: Thank you! It was surreal, really. Sharing the stage with Annalisa was an emotional moment for me. We performed our summer hit “Short Stories,” and the crowd’s energy was incredible. It felt like a warm embrace. I joked afterward about singing in tune, but honestly, the emotion of the moment was overwhelming.
Editor: You sure know how to keep a crowd entertained! Your humor really stood out when you joked about your early break in the spotlight, stemming from that performance at the Ariston with “Casual Sex.” Do you think that moment shaped your career?
Tananai: Absolutely! At that time, I didn’t expect the public to respond so positively, despite the performance being, let’s say, questionable. It taught me that authenticity and vulnerability resonate with people. If you can make them laugh or feel something, you’re already winning.
Editor: Speaking of winning, I hear your latest album, Calmocobra, has been doing incredibly well. Can you tell us more about your artistic evolution in this album?
Tananai: Calmocobra is really a reflection of where I am now as an artist. It’s a blend of various influences and styles, and I aimed to create something that’s both relatable and fresh. The new tracks are very personal, but they still carry that fun energy people expect from me. I’m particularly proud of “Devil,” “Absolute,” and “Tango.”
Editor: It’s great to hear how personal the album is. You mentioned during the concert that it was a “bullshit idea” to think about not touring for a year. What brought about that sentiment?
Tananai: (chuckles) Well, sometimes you just need to step back and take a breather, but the thrill of performing and connecting with fans is irreplaceable. I realized how much I thrive on that energy. It’s the reason why I feel we can grow old together through music—sharing moments that create a lasting bond.
Editor: That’s a lovely perspective! As you look ahead, what are some of your aspirations for the future in terms of music and performance?
Tananai: I want to keep evolving as an artist, experimenting with my sound and collaborating with others. I also aspire to reach more fans globally. Music has a way of transcending language barriers, and I believe that we can create a beautiful community together. Plus, I’m always looking forward to the next live show—there’s nothing like it.
Editor: With that passion, I’m sure you’ll continue to create amazing music that resonates with many. Thank you, Tananai, for sharing your insights and experiences with us. We can’t wait to see what you do next!
Tananai: Thank you for having me! I appreciate the conversation and can’t wait to share more music with all of you!
