"L'estate addosso" (transl. "Summer on me") is a song by Italian singer-songwriter Jovanotti. It was released on 29 May 2015 through Universal Music Italy as the third single from his thirteen studio album Lorenzo 2015 CC..[1][2]

The song was also featured as the original song for the 2016 film Summertime directed by Gabriele Muccino.[3] It was nominated at the David di Donatello for Best Original Song.[4]

Composition

[edit]

The song was written by Jovabotti himself with Vasco Brondi, Riccardo Onori and Christian Rigato, with the music production of Michele Canova.[5] The song was produced as the original song for 2016 film Summertime directed by Gabriele Muccino,[6][7] becoming the second collaboration since "Baciami ancora", original song of Kiss Me Again[8][9] In an interview with Variety, Jovanotti explained the meaning of the song and the relationship with Muccino:[10]

"A few years ago, Gabriele [Muccino] called me and told me he had written this screenplay for a small movie he wanted to make to get away from all the stress he was going through in Hollywood. He just told me the title: L’estate addosso. I am always searching for strong evocative images and titles. [...] Then I saw the film, Gabriele had put some boilerplate music with the images, which was quite predictable. Songs that he liked; the usual major chords that become minor ones; some strings; some layers of orchestral music. I told him: “I don’t like this stuff so much. I’d like to do something more indie. I’d like the music in the soundtrack to be the music that’s in these kids’ heads.' [...] We did the whole soundtrack in less than a week. I called some trusted musicians whom I often work with [Christian Noochie Rigano and Riccardo Onori]. We holed up in this studio in New York City, and we did everything in five days. That’s how I wanted to do it, sort of stream of consciousness.

Music video

[edit]

The music video for the song, directed by Gabriele Muccino was released on June 17, 2015, through the singer's YouTube channel.[11] It was filmed in the Fregenae beach, the same set of the film.[12]
