Gearing up for his performance at Eurovision 2023, Italy’s representative Marco Mengoni has released the trimmed Eurovision version of his song for Liverpool – “Due Vite”.
What’s changed?
In order to meet Eurovision requirements, “Due Vite” has been cut by 45 seconds. As a result, a number of parts are now gone from the track. For example, the second half of the first verse has been removed, as well as the middle part of the first chorus. The instrumentation also now has a better flow throughout the song, and swells with seamlessness.
