Till Brönner covers Lucio Battisti in single / video ‘Amarsi Un Po”
Originally written and performed by singer-songwriter Lucio Battisti in 1977, “Amarsi Un Po'” was one of the great classics of Italian pop music. It’s a song about closeness and distance, about the miracle and the fragility of love.
Brönner states: “I’m a huge fan of melancholy. Many people almost consider the word an illness. To me, it’s not that at all. This territory between tears and laughter – that is incredibly fertile ground. And there is nothing more important in life than love”.
In Brönner’s version, the piece unfolds instrumentally, carried by his trumpet – a reinterpretation that manages to say everything without words: “Knowing Lucio Battisti’s original version and having the lyrics so present in my mind allows me to internalize ‘Amarsi un po’’ on the trumpet in a completely different way. It even led me to approach all other songs like this – always reading the lyrics first, even if you don’t hear them when I play the trumpet”, he states.
“Amarsi Un Po'” is the third single from Till Brönner’s upcoming album Italia, scheduled for release on 2LP, CD & Digital on September 5th 2025 via earMUSIC. The new album combines global hits, rare gems from Italian pop culture, and iconic film compositions – complemented by an original Brönner composition, all shaped by the spirit of an era when European pop music was simultaneously popular, poetic, and open-minded.
