Loose beat poetry fused with ravaged vocals on new Michele Ducci single ‘Hic’
‘Hic’ (Latin for ‘here’) is the third single from the debut solo album by former M+A and Santii member, Michele Ducci. The track is a more experimental departure from the rest of the album, fusing loose, percussive Beat poetry with ravaged vocals.
According to Ducci, “‘Hic’ came to visit me towards the end of SIVE’s recordings. I was listening to the tapes, it was night, the bathroom in the house had flooded and I had lost my voice. Not being able to continue recording the other songs because of the hoarse and broken voice I decided to make a new one exactly with hoarse and broken voice. I started improvising recording myself without instruments and only with what was left of my voice.
“Keeping in mind as canvas some verses by the poet Henry De Régnier I began the musical navigation with this sort of indirect free speech that revolves around the Copernican question of a taking place = x, a ‘hic’ more than a ‘now’, not extensive, but intensive, which is the root of every extended space. An immense threshold which is like a shadow “qui se retire ou s’allonge, selon l’heure du jour qui croît ou du jour qui décline, Marque le cours du temps et la saison divine où l’aube est toujours claire et le soir toujours long.”
“In two hours the song was done with some addition of drums and piano. And the nine-song album became a ten-song album…And with my vocal exhaustion I happily looked upon it as a kind of bizarre drunken Armstrong. I am still grateful for that experience!!!!”.
Accompanying the single is a video directed by Marco Catapano, which was filmed in Greece between Paxos and Corfù.
Michele Ducci’s album will be released on 7th June on CD in a colour printed card wallet as well as digitally. Pre-order CD here:

EMEREE doesn’t just make music—she curates moments. Her latest single “Eyesore” is a cinematic, sarcastic scorcher that sets a new tone for the rising Australian powerhouse. From the candy-coated production to the horror-tinged DIY music video, EMEREE is creating her own genre: camp pop noir.
The single is a masterclass in balancing artistry with attitude. Co-created with Christian Tjandrawinata, “Eyesore” proves EMEREE isn’t here to play safe. She plays sharp, with razor-lined harmonies and lyricism that stabs with a smile. It’s not just catchy—it’s calculated. The beat bounces, the vocals glide, but it’s the burn in the lines that lingers.
Visually, EMEREE doubles down. The music video is a bloody wink to 80s slasher films, with a narrative as satirical as it is symbolic. She doesn’t just kill her ex on screen—she kills the whole trope. Pop stars often tell stories of heartbreak. EMEREE turns it into performance art.
EMEREE says, “Eyesore” is the anthem for anyone who’s ever dated someone who treated them horribly and just wasn’t hot enough to get away with it.”
EMEREE is making noise for all the right reasons—and with creative backing from CAA and sessions alongside Nile Rodgers and Invisible Men, she’s not just rising. She’s plotting her pop empire. “Eyesore” is both a warning shot and a love letter to anyone who’s ever made revenge their aesthetic.
It’s the start of something bold—and we’re already obsessed.
