Brescian rock singer-songwriter Maurizio Ghidini will release his new single, “Solo tu,” on November 20, 2026, marking the first track from his upcoming studio album, Sono meglio di te.
The new project, scheduled for release in 2027, follows three decades of live performances with the rock band Pit Stop. Ghidini’s return as a solo artist comes after the 2025 digital reissue of his 2003 debut album, Esule, which he originally produced independently.
Ghidini recorded both the single and the full album at the historic Poddighe Studio in Brescia. The facility is managed by brothers Carlo and Andrea Poddighe, figures well-known within the local music scene.
The collaboration holds professional significance for Ghidini. Andrea Poddighe previously performed under the pseudonym EriKs Wine, while Carlo Poddighe has gained international recognition for his solo project, SuperEgo, which has toured extensively across Europe. Carlo also served as a co-author on two tracks featured on the new album.
The album Sono meglio di te is designed to reflect the duality of Ghidini’s life. At 48, the Brescian artist maintains a career as an operator for the 118 emergency service alongside his musical pursuits. The record aims to capture an authentic, unfiltered look at his experiences, channeling a raw and direct rock sound.
“Solo tu” serves as the introduction to this collection of ten original songs. The project represents a continuation of the rock energy that has defined his career, which includes over 300 concerts performed throughout Northern Italy as the frontman of the cover band Pit Stop.
The release marks the beginning of a partnership between Ghidini and Vrec Music Label. The label, associated with the communications firm Davvero Comunicazione, has established a catalog that spans the rock, indie, and singer-songwriter genres.
The transition to this label support aligns with Ghidini’s intent to bring his latest original compositions to a broader audience. Following the November 20, 2026, debut of “Solo tu,” the full album is slated for a 2027 launch.
