Francesca Pichierri is back with her fifth single, “Amen,” and it’s another jaw-dropping glimpse into her upcoming concept album, Cellule Stronze. This time, Pichierri brings us a track that’s as energetic as it is piercing, blending danceable rhythms with a sharp critique of human behavior. If you thought “Sperarci Due Eroi” was bold in its exploration of love and loyalty in times of adversity, “Amen” takes it a step further, addressing the uncomfortable truth of “cancer ghosting.”

What exactly is cancer ghosting? It’s the phenomenon where people, despite their kind words and “I’m praying for you” messages, withdraw from the harsh realities of a loved one’s illness. “Amen” confronts this hypocrisy head-on, using biting irony to highlight how well-meaning words often fail to translate into meaningful actions. Pichierri serves all of this up with an irresistible groove, making it impossible not to dance to a track that’s as much about joy as it is about social critique.

Musically, “Amen” is a genre-bender. Imagine the vibrant energy of ’70s disco colliding with the synth-driven beats of the ’90s, with a dash of Brazilian influence and even a touch of gospel spirit. Pichierri’s use of synthesizers feels like a nod to Depeche Mode and Duran Duran, while the funk-infused rhythms carry the soul of Stevie Wonder. There’s also a cheeky, playful tone that contrasts beautifully with the deeper, sobering themes of the song. It’s dance-pop at its finest, but with an emotional depth that makes it stand out.

“Amen” is more than a song; it’s an experience. It’s music that dares to dance on the edge of discomfort—and dares you to dance right along with it.

“Amen” is available now on all major streaming platforms
