"Baggio" is one of the flagship titles of the album. Why this reference to the Italian football player of the nineties?

He was the first person I loved

You lived in Los Angeles between 2015 and 2019. Did you need to come back to England to find inspiration?

There is one of that. I had a lot of fun in L.A. I lived next to Alex Turner's house with whom I formed The Last Shadow Puppets. But after a while, my friends, my management my musicians I missed all this... even the rain (he laughs)! I felt lost. Not without laughing, I think I missed the special atmosphere and 'British pop' as I practice it and I needed to come back to London to recharge my batteries.

Alex Turner of the Artic Monkeys still lives there?

He is smarter: he is always between London and Los Angeles... (laughs)

And is something soon planned with him within The Last Shadow Puppets?

Not immediately, because I am very busy with the promotion of my new album and Alex by the Artic Monkeys world tour.
