Måneskin’s Damiano David Announces Debut Album ‘Funny Little Fears’

Damiano David is stepping into the solo spotlight. The Måneskin frontman has announced his debut album, ‘Funny Little Fears,’ set for release on May 16 via Sony Music Italy / Arista.

The album will feature 14 tracks, including his solo debut ‘Born With A Broken Heart,’ the Labrinth-produced ‘Silverlines,’ and his latest single, ‘Next Summer.’ A press release calls it a “bold and defiant” shift in his career. One that sees David breaking from expectations and digging deep into his own psyche.

If Måneskin’s arena-filling rock swagger is any indication, ‘Funny Little Fears’ won’t be a subtle affair. The album is said to push genre boundaries and deliver something more personal from the Italian singer. Whether that means stripped-back vulnerability or another dose of raw, unfiltered intensity remains to be seen.

The record will be available digitally and in physical formats, including vinyl and CD. Fans can expect a sonic departure from his work with Måneskin, though just how far he’ll stray is still a question mark. With Labrinth’s involvement, there’s potential for a more experimental or atmospheric edge, but David’s signature rasp and theatrical delivery will likely be front and centre.

David has hinted at his solo ambitions before, teasing unreleased material in cryptic social media posts and subtly shifting his onstage presence in recent months. ‘Funny Little Fears’ could be the result of years of artistic restlessness, an outlet for the ideas that didn’t quite fit within Måneskin’s bombastic rock framework.

This move also raises bigger questions—does it mark the beginning of a new phase for David, separate from the band, or is it just a side project to flex a different creative muscle? Måneskin is still riding high off their latest successes, but solo albums often signal a shift in priorities.

For now, all eyes are on David as he prepares to step out alone. ‘Funny Little Fears’ could be a reinvention or just another evolution in a career that’s already defied expectations. Either way, May 16 will mark a new chapter for the Måneskin frontman—and for anyone curious to see what he sounds like without the rest of the band behind him.
