Damiano David Releases New Single “Talk to Me” Featuring Tyla & Nile Rodgers

Out now via Sony Music France / RCA, “Talk to Me” marks a bold new chapter in the solo journey of Italian singer, songwriter, and global sensation Damiano David. The track brings together an unexpected yet instantly captivating trio: Damiano’s raw lyricism, the magnetic voice of South African Grammy winner Tyla, and the unmistakable groove of legendary guitarist Nile Rodgers.

Written as inspiration struck just before the start of his upcoming world tour, “Talk to Me” began as a deeply personal project for Damiano. In a recent post, he explained, “As the tour was approaching, I was hit with a new wave of inspiration that led me to write ‘Talk to Me.’ What made it even more special was finding out that the legendary Nile Rodgers wanted to add his guitar to the track. I had always imagined it as a duet, and since I’d been listening to ‘Water’ a lot lately, I was completely captivated by Tyla’s voice. I knew immediately I wanted her on this song.”

Tyla, whose meteoric rise has been defined by global hits and genre-defying performances, responded enthusiastically to the collaboration. “Damiano sent me the song and I was immediately drawn to its nostalgic vibe,” she said. “I instantly connected with it. It’s a new sound for me, and I know my Tygrs are gonna loooove it!”

Nile Rodgers, whose guitar work has shaped decades of music history, shared a similar sentiment: “When I received the track from Damiano and Tyla, I loved the vibe and wanted my guitar to be the third voice in the song. ‘Talk to Me’ was an absolute joy to work on.”

But that’s not all — Damiano also just released the deluxe edition of his debut solo album, Funny Little Fears, which was officially certified Gold just yesterday. The reissue includes previously unreleased tracks that extend the album’s wild creative energy even further. This project sees Damiano at his most open and vulnerable, created from raw inspiration that struck him mid-tour, with a strong desire to build something bold, emotional, and collaborative. Tyla instantly connected with this new sonic universe, while Nile Rodgers stepped in to elevate the song with his legendary groove, rounding out a collaboration that feels as natural as it is unexpected.

The release of “Talk to Me” follows the widespread success of Funny Little Fears, which has already accumulated over 800 million streams worldwide. The project saw him team up with artists like Suki Waterhouse and d4vd, and produced a string of singles including “Born With A Broken Heart,” “Silverlines” (produced by Labrinth), “Next Summer,” “Voices,” “Zombie Lady,” and “The First Time.” The album's artistic ambition and emotional depth have been praised by fans and critics alike, and it earned Damiano two nominations at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards — one for Best Long Form Video (Funny Little Stories), and another for MTV PUSH Performance of the Year (Next Summer).

Now, with this new release and a recharged album, Damiano continues to explore new musical landscapes. “Talk to Me” feels like a natural evolution — a bold, collaborative effort that’s both deeply personal and universally infectious.

He is also preparing for a massive world tour kicking off later this year, with over 30 dates across five continents. From Europe to Asia, the Americas to Australia, the tour has already seen overwhelming demand, with multiple shows sold out and venues upgraded. The European leg — including Paris, Milan, London, and Berlin — sold out in minutes, further cementing Damiano’s position as a live act of rare magnetism.

From the streets of Rome to the world’s biggest stages, Damiano David has already made history as the frontman of Måneskin, the first Italian rock band to conquer the international scene. With his powerful voice, emotional honesty, and fearless creative drive, he is now forging a new path — one marked by high-level collaborations, sonic risk-taking, and a vision that never stands still.

“Talk to Me” is not just a single — it’s the beginning of a new phase for an artist determined to break boundaries and connect through music that truly speaks.
