Giuseppe Cucé Weighs the Soul With Poetic Precision on His Cinematic New Album “21grammi.”
Giuseppe Cucé’s 21grammi is not just an album, it’s an emotional exhalation. Emerging from Catania’s rich artistic soil, Cucé delivers a nine–track journey shaped by loss, rebirth, and the invisible burdens we carry through life. Inspired by a period where he felt suspended between what he had lost and what he had yet to find, 21grammi becomes a sonic diary of memories, contradictions, and the fragile gravity of the human soul.
What makes this album stand out is its commitment to poetic realism. Cucé blends intimate Italian songwriting with modern indie-pop atmospheres, allowing vulnerability to coexist with cinematic depth. “Ventuno” pulses like a living heartbeat, quiet, trembling, then boldly erupting while “Una notte infinita” whispers through the dark with minimalism, aching vocals, and a melody that feels like a secret slowly unfolding. These tracks anchor the project’s emotional core, but each piece contributes a unique fragment of Cucé’s reconstruction.
A remarkable ensemble elevates the album: producer Riccardo Samperi, TRP Studio Orchestra, and musicians like Anthony Panebianco, Alberto Fidone, and Enzo Di Vita shape a textured, analogue-rich world. Recorded at TRP Studios in Catania, the album embraces imperfection, space, and acoustic warmth, capturing truth rather than polish.
Influences from Battiato, Dalla, Damien Rice, and Bon Iver echo throughout, never imitatively, but as emotional fingerprints guiding Cucé’s introspective storytelling. Ultimately, 21grammi succeeds because it transforms deeply personal wounds into something universal. It reminds listeners of the question that haunts us all: What remains when everything else falls away.....
