‘Bocca Lupo’ by Princess Nostalgia

Following a life of uncertainty, pain, and attempted suicide, Rossa’s legacy would be believed to have been dark. With the help of her Rome-hailing, genre-bending musician granddaughter Princess Nostalgia, she refused to let that to happen.

Princess Nostalgia’s latest track ‘Bocca Lupo’ pays homage to the life her admired Nonna. Having lost her mother during childbirth and deserted by her father, Rossa (Nostalgia’s Grandmother) was sent to Australia where she found herself in an arranged marriage and a life she didn’t deserve. The artist’s choice of lyrics throughout the pop-tune empowers the legacy of her Grandma whilst fluttering between the experimental and mainstream music scene all with authenticity to the highest degree. The accompanying music video to ‘Bocca Lupo,’ (the mouth of the wolf in Italian) shines the spotlight upon the constraints faced by the Italian women of her Grandma’s era.

Influenced by Missy Elliot and Rosalía, the prominent characteristic of strong female power runs rife throughout the single, demonstrating her respect for the women who came before her. The tune features punchy beats and powerful lyrics sure to evoke a true sense of that bad b*tch energy Princess Nostalgia’s music is here to prove.
