Digital singles
From 2007 onwards, the Italian singer Alexia began releasing singles as Digital Downloads only with no physical release due to the changes in the music industry and the phasing out of CD singles. They are all collected here.
Du Du Du
"Du Du Du" was a one-off single by Alexia released in 2007 as a digital download. It did not feature on any of Alexia's studio albums and was the last recording of hers to be released by Sony Music, ending a partnership that had gone on since 1996. The song features both English and Italian lyrics. It was released on 13 July 2007, a few months after Alexia gave birth to her daughter.
The title of the track is a vocal hook rather than an Italian phrase, with the song being about Alexia not wanting to lose the feelings she has with her lover, and that tonight is the night it is all going to happen, as she and her lover are going to pretend there are no limits with their sex, with the song making reference to having a child. Notably, this was the first song Alexia released after marrying her husband Andrea Camarana (nephew of Georgio Armani) and having a daughter, so it is highly likely this influenced the direction of the song.
Grande coraggio
"Grande coraggio" was the first single release from Alexia's eighth studio album Ale and was presented to Italian Radio on 30 May. As this was the first release from a new album, a CD was issued for release.
The title translates as 'Great Courage' and is about how everyday mistakes are made, and life can be unnerving but that courage does not want us to fail, that it is always there even if you do not realise it, do not yield when things go bad as there is a goal in life that will be achieved.
Music video
Two videos were filmed for the release which was the first release by Alexia on Edel after leaving Sony Music in 2007, though one was a shorter version of the song intended to promote the forthcoming album. It was the first video clip Alexia had filmed since 2005's Da Grande,
Guardarti dentro
"Guardarti dentro" was the second and final single release from Alexia's eighth studio album Ale and was presented to Italian Radio on 19 September.
As the single was a one track release from an album that was already out (and did not differ from the album version), no separate download or artwork was issued.
The title translates as "To Look At You Inside" with the song being about Alexia's lover not really knowing her as he does not have the courage to look inside himself and thus will suffer torment.
Music video
The video featured Italian actors Roberto Farnesi, Kledi Kadiu, Primo Reggiani, Rossella Brescia, Giorgia Surina and Roberta Scardola and premiered at the Roma Videoclip Festival.
Biancaneve
"Biancaneve" was the first single from Alexia's re-released Ale & C album, released in 2009. It was a duet with Italian singer Mario Lavezzi and the song featured on Lavezzi's album A più voci. The song is about Biancaneve, the Italian name for Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, with 'Bianacaneve' translating as 'Snow White'.
The song alternates between Lavezzi and Alexia with them both singing the chorus and final verse together. In the song, Lavezzi sings how Alexia makes him feel like a prince, whilst Alexia sings about the temptation of the apple, saying she feels she has more in common with the witch. They both sing how neither will regret the paradise they can both offer to each other.
The song was a big hit for the duo, reaching number 1 on the Italian digital chart and number 6 on the combined singles chart. The duo performed the track at the 2009 Sanremo Festival, coming fourth.
