S10 E9: Gianluca Buccellati

I think more and more these days about how we’ve sleep walked into allowing our world to become one that doesn’t serve us, one that does its best to prevent our ever-evolving identity to find its path, to do things on our own terms and away from being defined in a certain way by preconceptions or however our brains uses predictions of who others are and who we are. Maybe that’s just me getting older and grumpier. Probably true. But what's also true is that I have definitely experienced the wheels of reinvention in my own life. That feeling of “I’m not a number”, the need to find out who the fuck I am. It took me a lot longer to get here, but what’s a few decades amongst friends. Luca Buccellati rose to prominence as a composer, producer, collaborator, music partner, working with some extremely creative and successful artists, such as Lana del Rey, Arlo Parks, Big Piig, sophie meiers. Add a Grammy nomination and a Mercury prize for good measure. He has his own artist project that has been simmering, let’s say, called White China and he has now released another album which is called Hang Up The Lights. It’s a beautifully rich, diverse and personal collection of songs that builds on his masterful songwriting which you can hear on previous White China releases going back to 2018 but with this record, there is a very different lens and outlook on what’s important in life. https://www.iwannajumplikedeedee.com I Wanna Jump Like Dee Dee is the music podcast that does music interviews differently.
