Ottodix - Cerebro_Mundi

Published: November 03, 2026

How many times have we found ourselves debating who we are, where we come from, and where we are heading? These are questions we ask ourselves from a very young age, often without finding satisfactory answers as the years go by, given how quickly the world around us changes and how we, as human beings, evolve along with it.

An artist who has always been keen to explore the dynamics of self-perception, our role in society, the complex mechanisms of the human mind and our failure to look at the self-sustaining ecosystems around us as examples to improve our everyday lives, is the Italian Electro-Pop artist Alessandro Zannier, better known as Ottodix. With his ninth studio album, Cerebro_Mundi, he delivers one of the most inspired records of his career to date.

For the last couple of years, the name of the British Pop sensation Prefab Sprout has returned suddenly on everyone's mind, thanks to the fact that Martin McAloon, the band's bass player, decided to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the British band's most celebrated album called Steve McQueen in 2025, by embarking a Live Tour called Steve McQueen - Slight Return, who saw McAloon performing a solo acoustic Tour around the whole of UK performing not only the Steve McQueen album in full, but also a great number of hits, released by the band between their 1984 debut album Swoon and the 2001 The Gunman And Other Stories album, the latter being the last record that saw McAloon's last appearance as a full-time Prefab Sprout band member.
 
The 2025 Tour proved to be a great success for the talented English bass player, so much so that he decided to extend the Tour throughout the whole of 2026 too.

One of the greatest gifts an artist can be provided with, it is resilience; that gut belief in yourself and in your talent, belief in what solace and motivations music give to said artist every day and to firmly believe that those liberating feelings can be projected to the fans through the power of music. 
 
Someone that has never lacked in resilience and belief in her own, enormous talents, is the American Powerhouse singer-songwriter Sari Schorr, an artist that since the very beginning of her career, back in 2016 and through the debut album aptly called A Force Of Nature, enchanted the world thanks to inspired songwriting, an incredibly strong and soulful singing voice and Schorr's extraordinary ability to blend Blues, Rock and R&B with such inner ease, on and off the stage.
