Inventor of a new language
Daniela Pes is one of the most interesting new talents on the Italian pop scene. In 2023, her album “Spira” was awarded the prize for best debut work at Targa Tenco, the most prestigious Italian music award. It is not like other debuts. On the album, Daniela Pes sings in a language that does not (yet) exist. Shrouded in elegant, dark electronic beats and cosmic ambient breaths, we hear ancient Gallurese words, fragments of Italian terms and entirely invented words. They form the building blocks of something new, where verses are free from metrics, and words are pure sound.
Born in 1992 in Gallura, Daniela Pes is a singer, an instrumentalist, and an electronic explorer. She got a jazz vocals degree from the Conservatorio di Sassari and has received several awards and accolades on her way to where she is today – an uncompromising futurist, dedicated to deconstructing the song form and breaking down language to create an esoteric sonic world. A hugely ambitious project, of course – but one helped by her knack for beautiful melodies, catchy hooks and moments of sheer musical wonder.
