Model, actor and singer, Michele Morrone is on the loose and ready to pounce; pop(py) hip-hop with sensual, sultry lyrics that tempt the listener to reach inside their own chest and hand Morrone their beating heart. The music is a little dusky and a lot dark, with great sentiment, thoughtfulness and feeling going into all the lyrics. Morrone croons his way into everyone’s hearts, song after song, and does it with great ease and sensitivity.
His debut album, Dark Room, which dropped in February 2020 and was featured on the soundtrack for Netflix’s 365 Days, is the darkest of the bunch. The compelling tune “Hard for Me” is the love story of all love stories. “Watch Me Burn,” a tune about a womanizing woman who uses men for her own pleasure, twisted as they may be, summarizes the album as a whole: that love is a tough business, but it sells!
His second album, Double, was released in September 2023 and leads off with “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This).” The popular tune made famous by the Eurythmics was written by Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart. Something about a man singing this song lends a different point of view and a totally different feel. This album does not have Dark Room’s darkness, but it does possess the same lyrical quality and excellence that made Dark Room very popular.
Previously with Universal Group Germany, Morrone has a new record deal with the independent, New York-based label, 477 Records. Chief Executive Officer, Zach Dess, Chief Creative Officer, Geoff Hufford and Chief Operating Officer, GD Dess were thrilled when Morrone signed on. He has been so busy with projects that he hasn’t had time to catch his breath.
Last winter he finished up an independent film release titled Home Sweet Home Rebirth, based on the popular video game. He is starring alongside Anna-Marie Sieklucka in 365 Days (and sequels), co-starring with Megan Fox in Subservience, and he just finished his starring role opposite Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick in Amazon Prime’s Simple Favor 2. Whew!
With over 1.1 million monthly listeners on Spotify, and over 23 million followers on social media, there’s no stopping this Italian tesoro. Listen to new single, "Leave Me (feat. Two Feet)."
