Cesare Cremonini and Malika Ayane Reunite on "Cose molto piccole"

By Odessa Vance, November 7, 2026

Radio day for a long reunion

Cesare Cremonini's new single with Malika Ayane, "Cose molto piccole," hits Italian radio on November 6, 2026, per EMI Records Italy / Universal Music Italia. The song is taken from Amateur, Cremonini's tenth album of new material, which Apple Music dates to October 22, 2026 (the release text says October 23) under "℗ 2026 Cesare Cremonini, under exclusive license to Universal Music Italia Srl."

The release frames the pairing as a return sixteen years after the two last sang together. It describes the song as a love song built from habits, details and small daily things, moving from a messy room and a sofa to planets, the ocean and ships.

That is the label's framing. The Apple credit line, the album page and the November 6 radio date are the fixed points.

What Cremonini and Ayane say

The EMI Italia mail prints remarks from both artists. Cremonini says that when the song's opening lines came, he thought of Ayane first, calling her an artist who brings intimate, small things into the foreground. Ayane says she has long found Cremonini's writing refined and intense, and that she is glad to be part of the project for the affection that ties them as well as for the music.

Those lines are the release's own Italian text, paraphrased here in English. They are not separate interviews.

The London clip

Alongside the radio impact, the release points to a video that mixes the song's first live performance at London's O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire, during the Amateur showcase, with studio recording footage.

The clip is on CesareCremoniniVEVO.

Credits in the release: Jeremy Stacey on drums; strings arranged by Alessandro Magnanini and Rosie Danvers, performed by Wired Strings and recorded at RAK Studios in London.

Meet and greets, then AMATOUR

Two more meet and greet and photocall windows are open if fans buy a physical copy of Amateur by November 12, 2026, the release says: December 1 at SEMM Music Store and More in Bologna, and December 14 at Dischi Volanti in Milan.

The next chapter is AMATOUR, Cremonini's arena run through November and December 2026. The release lists dates in Ancona, Bologna, Turin and Milan, and marks several nights as sold out, including the November 24 Ancona opener and multiple Bologna and Milan shows. Ticket totals from the mail are left out of the body.

For English language readers who mostly meet Cremonini through features and collaborations, this is a clean entry point: a radio single, a VEVO live clip, and a named reunion with Ayane on an album that is already out.
