Marta Del Grandi

In Dream Life, Marta Del Grandi crafts a captivating art-pop landscape where reality and imagination blur. Moving beyond the “oil painting” textures of Selva, this album embraces a detailed, contemporary “photobook” style. From the staccato energy of the rhythmic single “Antarctica” to the hazy, shifting title track, Del Grandi delivers a sophisticated, ground-breaking collection that redefines pop music for 2026.

Italian artist Marta Del Grandi returns on January 30 with Dream Life. Shifting from the bucolic nature of her 2023 debut, Selva, toward a more detailed, contemporary aesthetic, listen to the title track and “Shoe Shaped Cloud,” a brittle, brooding study of a relationship gone awry. 

Italian singer-songwriter Marta Del Grandi offers a haunting and introspective glimpse into her forthcoming album, Dream Life (out January 30, 2026), with her latest single, “Alpha Centauri.” The track finds Del Grandi’s vocal prowling in nostalgia, connecting high-school memories with the cosmos. It features a unique arrangement, including a 70s-vibe horn section, perfectly illustrating the album’s shift toward a “more defined pop sound.”

Watch ‘The Best Sea’, the new single/video from Marta Del Grandi. She is touring her brave, beautiful, and boldly unique album, Selva, in the UK for the first time since its release last autumn.

On Selva, Marta del Grandi’s celestial world carves out space for astute pop, experimental electronica, and driving modern folk ballads. It’s a mesmerising place.
