«Ho troppe cose in ballo! E poi cosa vado a fare? Tollo il posto magari a un giovane che deve fare carriera?» Berti said.
Orietta Berti has dismissed any plans to return to the Sanremo Festival, telling Libero Magazine that the event no longer fits her career path.
The singer discussed her upcoming musical ventures during an appearance on Sunday, November 15, on the Rai1 program “Da noi… a ruota libera” hosted by Francesca Fialdini. Berti explained that she is currently managing multiple professional commitments and wants to avoid occupying a slot that could otherwise go to an emerging artist.
Berti expressed strong confidence in her own current material when compared to official festival selections.
«Non ci andrò. Questione di esperienza, poi mi piace dire quello che sento», said Berti, as reported by Libero Magazine.
She added that she routinely receives tracks rejected by the festival committee and finds the overall standard of those submissions to be lacking. According to Berti, her collaborative work with Danti and Nina Zilli surpasses those discarded tracks in quality.
The artist has already recorded a substantial catalog of unreleased material for future distribution. She has completed twenty new tracks that are scheduled for release at a rate of one every three months.
During the interview, Berti also spoke about using artificial intelligence to learn her parts. She explained that her author utilizes AI to generate the songs in her preferred vocal range and exact metrical structure.
«È stato un aiuto grandissimo. È una cosa sorprendente, nuova e, come tutte le cose nuove, mi entusiasma», said Berti, according to Libero Magazine.
Looking back at her longevity in the entertainment industry, Berti said that she measures her working timeline starting from 1965 and the release of “Tu sei quello”, choosing to set aside earlier singing contests.
Despite current pop trends, she retains a strong desire to record traditional Italian vocal tracks for her audience. She observed that contemporary arrangements rely heavily on syncopated rhythms, yet she still enjoys hitting high notes.
«Una canzone o due con il canto classico italiano la voglio fare. Anche i miei ammiratori vogliono sentirmi cantare così. Adesso è tutto sincopato, diverso, ma prendere dei “Do” mi piace ancora», said Berti.
