With all of this and more as a background, get ready for “Amica Di Scuola,” from Mauro Mase.

Before the pandemic, school continued to be a place where lifetime memories are created in most any language. Within the reminiscences, a first love and budding relationships often make for the warmest of recollections. Available Sep. 12, 2021, Mauro Mase’s “Amica Di Scuola,” which translates to “Friend of the School,” or just “School Friend,” touches on romantic crushes, sometimes brought together by the classroom. With Italian lyrics, the title itself holds a certain youthful affection. Regarding “Amica Di Scuola,” according to Mase, “If listening to the song, you were able to identify yourself in the story, then I can be satisfied.”

In addition to the sentiment.

Car horns, people and other street-level sounds soon are joined by a driving stop time music beat. At :31 the vocals enter, accessible and in the moment. By :53, “Amica Di Scuola’s” rock appeal is thoroughly established. The guitars are played with finesse, the rhythm battery tightly maintaining the time signature during unique accents. Meanwhile, the charismatic vocals add character to the 2:53 track. While superb instrumentation and vocals provide nostalgia, “Amica Di Scuola’s” musicianship presents a rock magnetism.
