Radio Gotham is the debut studio album by Italian singer-songwriter and rapper Rose Villain, released on 20 January 2023 by Sony Music.[2] The project was anticipated by the singles "Elvis", "Michelle Pfeiffer" and "Rari" released between 2021 and 2022, while on 11 January 2023 Villain released the promotional single "Lamette" featuring Italian rapper Salmo.[3]

Background

In 2019 Rose Villain ended her record deal with Republic Records, after 3 years spent to release music mainly in English language.[4] At the end of 2019, she went back to Milan and started to work on new music, this time around even in Italian language, thanks to Italian rapper Gué Pequeno, who, after listened to the English version of "Chico", who was meant to be Rose's single with Republic Records, pushed her to translate the song in Italian and asked her if he could use it for his 2020 album Mr. Fini. "Chico" ended up to be one of the best selling singles in Italy, opening a lot of doors for Villain's into Italian hip hop music world.[5] In 2020, Villain signed a record deal with Sony Music Italy/Arista.[6] She started to release music in Italian language and in 2021, again with Gué, she released "Elvis", which is the first single from Radio Gotham. In 2022, she released "Michelle Pfeiffer", who became viral on TikTok and was certified platinum by FIMI. This single motivated her to putting together an album, that was finally announced in December 2023.
