"Taxi sulla Luna" is a song recorded by Italian rapper Tony Effe and Italian singer Emma Marrone. [1] [2] It was released on 9 June 2023 through Universal Music Italia and Capitol Records,as the second single from both the rapper second studio album Icon and the singer seventh stoudio album Souvenir. [3] [4]
The song is the first featuring between the two artists,mixing dance-pop and rap sounds. [5] [6] In an interview with All Music Italia,Emma explained the meaning of the song and the decision to collaborate with the rapper:
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.
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]
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]
