Valerio Chrome Debuts with Cinematic Single “Notte Di Ruggine / Nel Cuore Del Tempo,” Out August 1, 2025
Valerio Chrome storms the music scene with their evocative debut single, “Notte Di Ruggine / Nel Cuore Del Tempo,” released on August 1, 2025, through otticmusic / otticmusicAI. This two-track masterpiece channels the vibrant essence of 1980s synthpop and Italo pop, weaving nostalgia with profound emotional depth to captivate music journalists, industry professionals, and fans of retro-futuristic sounds.
“Notte Di Ruggine” ignites with the imagery of a nocturnal journey through a neon-soaked city, where “un motore ruggisce come un leone” (an engine roars like a lion) and “l’asfalto canta una vecchia canzone” (the asphalt sings an old song). Its pulsing drum machines and lush analog synthesizers evoke the danceable romance of Italo disco, while the chorus, “Notte di ruggine / Sogni di benzina,” pulses with a yearning for freedom. In contrast, “Nel Cuore Del Tempo” slows to a reflective synthwave elegy, its refrain, “Nel cuore del tempo mi perdo / Mi trovo,” grappling with themes of longing and self-discovery under a canopy of reverb-drenched pads. Drawing from the brooding melancholy of Depeche Mode and the shimmering allure of Ryan Paris, Valerio Chrome crafts a sound that feels both timeless and boldly contemporary.
Backed by otticmusic / otticmusicAI’s innovative AI production, the single blends warm, analog textures with modern polish, marking Valerio Chrome as a standout in the synthwave revival. Available on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and more soon, “Notte Di Ruggine / Nel Cuore Del Tempo” is a testament to the band’s ability to fuse nostalgia with fresh artistry.
Valerio Chrome invites fans and media to stream the single and to follow @otticmusic_ai on X for more. This debut heralds an exciting new chapter for a band poised to redefine retro-inspired music.
