Biography

Princess Nostalgia is an internationally-based, Roman-born producer who opened for Public Enemy’s Keith Shocklee, is sponsored by BandLab, and has been featured in NOTION, ColorsXStudios and Wonderland.

 

In the wake of the Netflix docuseries "Vatican Girl," the infamous Emanuela Orlandi case has been reopened nearly half a century later, and Princess Nostalgia is calling attention to it with the single “FOLLOW THE $$$.”

 

In the same vein as Rosa Balistreri’s 1970s song, “Mafia e Parrini,” Nostalgia points to the ominous, agelong bond between two of Italy’s greatest powers: The mafia and the Vatican, who seemingly conspired to cover up the 15 year old's disappearance.

 

Sonically, the track is the lovechild of reggae music and Italy’s rich legacy of spaghetti western film scores (Ennio Morricone, Nino Rota, etc). Steeped in the moody glow of a Dan Brown mystery novel, the track also channels the ominous bounce of Rosalía’s LA FAMA.
