Abandoning the social denunciation themes of the previous Amen, the second disc by Eman - coming out in spring for Jackie & Juliet/Artist First - is a powerful, instinctive and profound concept album that conjures up vivid images that reach the listener like a punch in the gut. Like a modern Icarus which regains its strength in the fall, Eman gives life to an eclectic and unprecedented musical universe. A songwriting that pays homage to the past and dialogues with the present.
EmanEmanuele Aceto was born in Catanzaro on 25 June 1983.
He started playing the guitar at the age of 11 and began writing his first lyrics. Driven by some communication difficulties, he plunged headlong into music and since 2001 has adopted the stage name Eman.

Eman's repertoire, which is difficult to label, explores musical worlds that are often opposite: from reggae to dark, from electro-rock to contemporary and internationally inspired music. The originality of his compositions is matched by his committed lyrics, which are often a vehicle for social messages or denunciations (as in the case of Amen o Excuse me), but also ironic and provocative (Love in times of spreads, Wake up, Dust and Bones). The combination of these elements gives rise to the unique style that has distinguished the young Calabrian singer-songwriter since 2005.
