maneskinss: When asked the secret to their success, Victoria says it’s because they are authentic and real. She explains, “If we do something good or something bad, we want it to depend on ourselves. We’ve been writing our own music since we started and that works for us. We’re still young, we have so many things to talk about, to express, to experiment with. We’re just enjoying it.” And on a cheeky note, David adds, “To be honest, I’m kind of a diva, and will never let anybody write music instead of me.” Another reason for the band’s popularity is their glam rock-style fashion. Dark eyeliner, bohemian outfits and leather pants hark back to a time of bands such as Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones. Talking about their androgynous, gender-neutral style, Victoria says, “It’s not something we choose to do on purpose, it’s just the way we are. We feel like we can spread a positive message by telling people it’s okay to be who you are. Being confidence is a good thing, it can help a lot.” Maneskin also has a huge LGBTQ+ following. “We have a lot of fans telling us, ‘You helped me come out to my parents’ or ‘You gave me the confidence to start dressing how I always wanted to.’ More than any gold record, that’s the most meaningful feedback an artiste can get,” David tells us. With a sold out Europe tour, and lots of new music on the cards, Maneskin is only just getting started. “Everything we do, we want to do properly and be 100 per cent satisfied with. We’re going to take our time, there’s no rush,” David sums up. x x -- source link
