Summer hits are often tunes that people have taken home from their holidays. That way, songs from popular holiday countries like Spain, Italy and France spread all over Europe in the past. But 2020 is another year altogether. After the recent developments, many people won’t spend their holidays abroad. Luckily, Carte Blanche Music brings the best and sunniest music to your doorstep. I’ll do so in the safest of ways: via your computer, laptop, tablet or mobile screen.

Each year, Italian artist Francesco Gabbani releases a summer hit contender. This year is no different. His new single Il Sudore Ci Appiccica (which means ‘sweat sticks to us’) is sure to bring out the sun. But on a deeper level, it’s meant to bring out hope.

Gabbani: “The term sweat takes on a double meaning in the song. Sweat is what unites us in fatigue and need. In this regard, I think of the real commitment made by everyone during the epidemic. But sweat is also the desire for light-heartedness and fun that we must be able to find in the coming months. Sweating stands for getting closer, sharing and reducing distances as well. Of course, as soon as all this will be possible.”
