Alban Ramosaj declared the chapter in music closed. Through a confession on Instagram, he dwelled on the artistic and creative difficulties that led to this difficult decision.
"A letter to my beloved Colosseum audience," he begins. "Throughout my life, I have lived with the philosophy of embracing and following the dreams and aspirations of the inner child. The authenticity that artists, especially musicians, bring to their works has always resonated deeply with me. However, I have realized that little by little, I have compromised the essence of what describes my artistic self."
Following the letter, Albani dwells on the challenge of authentic artistic expression and the external influences that have interfered with his creative space.
"Recently, I have often encountered the challenge of authentic artistic expression. Outside influences have slowly, step by step invaded my creative space, thus, blowing hard on the flame of the candle that once gave me motivation. What started as a dream, a tireless passion, what accompanied me from dawn to dusk, I feel that after almost 10 years, it is fading. The battlefield I find myself in has left my wounded and vulnerable inner child lying bleeding in my arms, staring straight into my eyes, whispering, 'Please, I can still go on, I can' I can do it."
Ramosaj emphasizes that he does not want to waste time "fighting" in "fair and unfavorable environments".
"To my beloved "colosseum" audience, if you knew me personally, you'd probably say "Typically Albanesque," for closing this chapter with a dramatic twist. But you know me - I thrive in the world of drama, as I find a certain poetic beauty in it,” he adds.
"Until we meet again, thank you and goodbye," the singer closes the letter.
The artist did not make it clear if this break is temporary and did not mention what will be his future focus. Later, he emphasized on Instagram that the songs and video clips will not be deleted.
Born in the Netherlands and raised in Tirana, Albani started his career by participating in music competitions such as "X Factor Albania" (2012) and "The Voice of Albania" (2013). In the latter, Ramosaj reached the semi-finals. In "Magic Song" he was nominated for the "Best Songwriter" award in 2016, while in 2021 he was declared the winner with the song "My Knives". Besides singing, Albani has also experimented in the field of acting, where we mention here the participation as one of the protagonists of the web-series #Love#Likes#Tirana, part of "Hostel by Anabel".
