Italian singer-songwriter Damiano David has released his new single, ‘Talk to Me’, featuring collaborations with South African singer Tyla and Grammy award-winning Nile Rodgers. The track will be released on September 12th via Sony Music Italy/Arista. The partnership combines Damiano’s emotive lyricism with Tyla’s distinctive vocal style, showcasing Rodgers’ unmistakable groove.
Announcing the forthcoming single on his social channels, Damiano says, “As the tour was approaching, I unexpectedly felt a new wave of inspiration that led me to write ‘Talk to Me’. Knowing that the legendary Nile Rodgers thought the song worthy of adding his solo guitar made this spark even more exciting. I have always felt that this song should be a duet, and I’ve recently been listening to ‘Water’ a lot. I was completely blown away and wanted her to sing it with me.”
Tyla said: “Damiano sent me this record and I instantly fell in love with how nostalgic it felt. I heard myself on it straight away. Excited about how new it feels for me, my tygrs gonna luv ittt.”
Nile Rodgers said, “When I received the song from Damiano and Tyla, I loved its vibe, and I wanted my guitar to be the third voice. ‘Talk To Me’ was a fun one to work on!”
Following the success of Funny Little Fears, which features collaborations with Suki Waterhouse and d4vd, this new single further cements Damiano’s commitment to expanding his musical horizons through bold, boundary-pushing creative partnerships.
Talk to Me, feat Tyla & Nile Rodgers, follows Damiano’s highly anticipated debut solo album Funny Little Fears, featuring previously released singles, ‘Born With A Broken Heart’, ‘Silverlines’ produced by Labrinth, ‘Next Summer’, ‘Voices’, Zombie Lady, and ‘The First Time’. The album has already collected over 800 million global streams to date.
Damiano received a 2025 MTV VMA nomination for Best Long Form Video for his work on Funny Little Stories – watch here. Along with an MTV PUSH Performance of the Year nomination for the single ‘Next Summer’.

Encompassing over 30 dates across five continents, with multiple sold-out shows, venue upgrades, and additional dates added, it is a true statement of intent as he continues to introduce himself on the world stage.
