In a musical universe stuffed to the brim with soundscapes and manufactured perfection, Michele Viglietti’s latest single, “Even if You Don’t Know How,” is a gust of sincere air that is raw, personal, and beautifully fragile.
The track, steeped in folk tradition, carries an abiding sense of emotional truth beneath stripped-back instrumentation. It never tries to shout. On that first chord, Viglietti opens his world to the listener, a world of serene reflection and quiet bravery.
The song springs from a source many artists don’t like to discuss in public: an inferiority complex. But rather than conceal it, Viglietti embraces it. Michele Viglietti’s voice and verse quiver with a strength that arises not from having all the answers but from acknowledging that he does not. That’s what oomphs this song through to hit this hard. The issue isn’t whether you have the correct answer but whether you decide to act, love, or believe, even when you don’t know how.
The melody is tender but insistent, a thought you can’t shake or a feeling you can’t make fade. There’s a fragility to the guitar lines that makes you feel as if you’re eavesdropping on a private moment. But that’s the beauty of it. “Even if you don’t know how” is a confessional lullaby for anyone who never thought they’d be enough but never stopped trying.
