Taxi sulla Luna

Last updated

It was an unexpected collaboration. I got the track, I liked it because I could and wanted to have fun with it. I thought it was spinning great, and in fact it made people dance all summer and still does. I wanted to put it on the record because it was, and is, part of the path that brought me here today.

Critics reception

Alessandro Alicandri of TV Sorrisi e Canzoni wrote that the meeting of Tony Effe's rap world and Emma's pop world generate "a very interesting point of contact" from a musical point of view, in which the singer was able to approach trap in a "free and carefree way, playing subtraction with her voice and pointing". The journalist appreciated Takagi & Ketra's production dictated by a "90s deep house base, totally club-like". [7]

Claudio Cabona of Rockol described the collaboration as “crazy and fun” although it “only half works” since it “does not appear completely in focus, giving up on finding a credible fit between the two artists.” Cabona pointed out that while the rapper “snares irreverent and ironic bars,” Emma's refrain seems “alien compared to the rest of the song.” [8] Gabriele Fazio of Agenzia Giornalistica Italia wrote that Taxi sulla Luna is “not a song, but a recipe, all in all successful,” even if it is “a catchphrase that in a handful of weeks we will put away to rot.” [9]

Music video

The music video for the song, directed by Late Milk, was released the same day of the single, through the rapper's YouTube channel. [10] [11]
