"Sospesa" literally means suspended, and in this dreamy Italian duet Malika Ayane and Pacifico capture the sensation of floating when love first strikes. The narrator hovers, reflected in the beloved’s eyes, while that special person becomes both a safe shore (sponda) and lively companion (compagnia), lighting every street and thawing the hidden ice within.
The hypnotic refrain circles around hands, mouth, skin, and fever: a gentle touch ignites passion, calms the heat, and leaves a surprise of perfume in the air. It is an ode to intimacy that transforms and heals, where two people surrender to each other, melt each other’s defenses, and rise together in a warm, weightless embrace.
