Damiano David Releases New Single ‘Talk to Me’ Featuring Tyla and Nile Rodgers

Rome: Former Maneskin frontman Damiano David is set to release his latest solo single, “Talk to Me,” featuring renowned artists Tyla and Nile Rodgers. The single is scheduled to be available from September 12.

According to Ansa News Agency, David, who embarked on his solo career last year, has collaborated with Tyla, the Grammy Award winner for Best African Music Performance 2024, and the legendary Nile Rodgers, a multi-Grammy Award winner. David expressed excitement about the project, stating that a new wave of inspiration struck him as his tour approached. He shared that the collaboration with Rodgers and Tyla added a special touch to the song, enhancing it with unique elements.

David said, “Lately, and with the tour approaching, a new wave of inspiration has arrived. ‘Talk to Me’ was born that way, but what made it special for me was knowing that Nile Rodgers wanted to work on the song and enhance it with his guitar. Also, while I was writing it, I always imagined it as a duet. Lately, I’ve been listening to Tyla’s ‘Water’ a lot; I really like her voice, so I wanted her to sing it with me. This double validation from two artists I admire is very meaningful to me.”

Tyla expressed her enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, “I’m so happy about this collaboration with Damiano and Nile. Making this song together was fun and very inspiring; it’s beautiful to see how our styles came together to create something so fresh and exciting. We experimented, shared ideas, and the song came together very naturally.”

Guitar legend Rodgers also shared his thoughts on the collaboration, saying, “When I received the song from Damiano and Tyla, I really loved the vibe it gave me and wanted my guitar to be the third voice on this track. ‘Talk To Me’ was a really fun project to work on!”

The release of “Talk to Me” follows David’s album “Funny Little Fears,” which has already achieved certification in nine countries and boasts over 800 million global streams. The album’s long-form video earned a nomination for the 2025 VMAs, along with a nomination for Best Push Performance for the song “Next Summer.” David’s upcoming 2025 World Tour, featuring over 30 performance dates across Europe, Australia, North America, South America, and Asia, is set to kick off next week.
