The second preview from his EP To Deliver a Feeling arrives with a striking performance-based video shot in Luxembourg.
Another Light – A Song That Stands Out for Its Pop Sensibility and Emotional Depth
Be My Wife, the creative project of multidisciplinary artist Federico Nessi, has released his new single “Another Light”. The track is the second release from his upcoming EP To Deliver a Feeling, and is now available on all major streaming platforms alongside a performance-driven music video with strong visual and theatrical elements.
Musically, Another Light is among the most accessible songs in Be My Wife’s discography. It blends melancholic pop with influences from 1960s girl groups like The Shangri-Las and The Ronettes, filtered through a contemporary and deeply personal lens. Lyrically, Nessi reflects on the emotional fragility of long-term relationships and the weight of unspoken feelings.
“I called to tell you I’m sorry – I called to tell you I lied – about the way I was feeling – although I wore a smile with pride.”
This line encapsulates the intimate tone of the song — a kind of public apology dressed in elegant sonics and emotional honesty.
The track also features a distorted secondary voice drenched in chorus effects, representing the artist’s alter ego — a hidden self that surfaces to express what can’t always be said out loud. This tension between the visible and the invisible is echoed throughout the sound and visual aesthetics.
The accompanying video, directed by the Paris-based duo Écoute Chérie, was filmed in an empty nightclub in Luxembourg. Minimal in staging, the clip relies entirely on performance to heighten the emotional pull of the song, reinforcing its introspective and theatrical mood.
Be My Wife | A Musical Project with a Strong Visual and Narrative Identity
Be My Wife is more than an artistic pseudonym — it is a conceptual extension of Federico Nessi, born in Caracas and raised between Miami and Buenos Aires. With a career spanning over 20 years in visual arts, performance, and stage design, Nessi launched this project in 2023 to synthesize his artistic and emotional universe through music.
The name — inspired by a David Bowie song and a film by silent cinema icon Max Linder — plays with identity and irony: a gay man asking someone to “be my wife.” That duality between humor and vulnerability lies at the core of the project’s DNA.
Be My Wife’s discography is built around two conceptual EPs:
- The Restless Pursuit (already available), and
- To Deliver a Feeling (currently being released).
Each EP features four tracks, each accompanied by a music video that expands the narrative. There are no filler songs or secondary releases — each track stands on its own as a fully developed artistic statement.
A Carefully Constructed but Emotionally Raw Discography
The first EP, The Restless Pursuit, introduces Be My Wife’s sonic universe: a blend of shoegaze textures, new wave rhythms, and goth-pop sensibilities, with lyrics that move between intimate confession and social commentary. Tracks like “Who You Are,” “Complicate Me,” “Melodramatic,” and “Radically Sealed” were all released with distinctive visual treatments — ranging from performance art collaborations to explorations of AI-generated dreamscapes.
With To Deliver a Feeling, the second EP expands into more autobiographical and emotionally direct terrain:
- The first single, Me Cuesta, is both a love letter and a farewell to Argentina — the artist’s cultural and emotional homeland.
- The second single, Another Light, offers an intimate reflection on relationships, while leaning into a brighter pop aesthetic.
- Soon to follow is Only You, a romantic ballad in two parts: one melodic and soaring, the other hypnotic and krautrock-inspired, centered on the mantra-like line “I’m only interested in Paradise.”
- The EP will conclude with Rushed Restrictions, a goth-tinged track with apocalyptic overtones, whose music video is currently in pre-production.
A Multidisciplinary Proposal that Blends Music, Visual Art, and Performance
Be My Wife is a fully independent project that doesn’t follow commercial formulas — instead, it is driven by an urgent need for personal expression. Federico Nessi’s work lives at the intersection of music, visual storytelling, and theatrical performance, brought together under a coherent and emotionally resonant aesthetic.
With Another Light, Be My Wife reaffirms his commitment to emotionally honest music, visually rich narratives, and artistic freedom. Without noise or gimmicks, his work finds its place in the global alternative scene — one emotionally charged track at a time.
