"Emotive” - 7/10 Uncut

Today, Any Other, the project of Italian singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Adele Altro (they / them), has shared their new single 'If I Don't Care'. The track, a rousing ode to letting go of anger, is the final cut to be shared from their forthcoming third album, stillness, stop: you have a right to remember which is due out on January 26th via 42 Records.

Of their new single, Adele says:

"This song is about me learning to let go of things that make me angry – both personal and societal stuff. It’s reasonable to be angry about inequalities, but at some point you need to distance yourself from that stuff just a little, otherwise it will impact your mental health in an even more negative way. I’m still learning how to do that!"

Together with the new single, Any Other is releasing a video for “If I don’t care”, produced by EDERA (Milano) and directed by Giulio Rasi, with art direction by Cecilia Grandi.

"When emotions arise they can manifest in different forms and colours – learning to understand and recognise them is not always an easy task. In the video for 'If I don't care', half way between a dream and a mythological tale, the difficulty of controlling one's emotions is narrated, and how sometimes the only thing we can do is stop resisting them and let them flow through us," says Grandi.

For fans of artists like Dirty Projectors, Mitski, and Sufjan Stevens, stillness, stop: you have a right to remember beautifully weaves together acoustic and electronic instrumentation, creating a warm and immersive sonic experience that explores themes of self-discovery, family, relationships, and gender identity.

Speaking about the album, Adele shared, "I tried to be as honest as possible in writing about my emotions and also be like: I'm not perfect, I can be a mess too! And I think that is precious because when I encounter this approach in other artists' music, I feel less alone. So I hope this record can make other people feel less alone too."

The album's title reflects Adele’s journey of recollecting memories that were lost due to traumatic experiences in life. “I feel like erasing memories served me somehow, but I also think that at some point I needed to take some time for myself to remember. I had the right to remember!” says Adele. “What happened in my life shaped me as a person – and I’m not saying I’m grateful everything happened, but I need to remind myself that I am the person who went through it and overcame it.”

The album was recorded in January 2023 in a studio in Milan, Italy, by Adele Altro and co-produced with their best friend Marco Giudici, a significant step in their creative journey. “I’ve always been pretty controlling of the production process with my music, and as small as it sounds, to me it was a pretty big thing to open up and trust somebody else on this. It challenged me but has also helped me a lot!” says Adele, of the process.

stillness, stop: you have a right to remember is a testament to Any Other's growth as an artist, both musically and personally. It's an album that invites listeners to embrace their own complexities and emotions, finding solace and strength in the shared human experience.
