FELDSPAR – 18 Karat
“18 Karat” is a high-energy song that plays on the stereotypes of success, the fleeting pursuit of it, and the deviations tied to the quest for visibility and personal approval, sought ten, a hundred times a day. Essentially, it’s about designing one’s life as a fairy tale and presenting it in the public arena to gauge how much social approval we receive.
The song doesn’t lack irony, as highlighted by frontman Riccardo Zamurri: “We want to criticize those who resort to endless filters, both metaphorically and literally, the filters of social platforms that force unattainable standards, fanciful realities, and success. How much human misery is there in all this? But at the same time, how much unintentional comedy does it produce?
Musically, “18 Karat” is a modern tribute to a certain style of hardcore punk. It’s direct, catchy, communal, fast, and sharp, with a chorus that leaves no escape: “he’s a ticking time-bomb, tik-tok tik-tok”.
