Try Me: UFO’s Rock Ballad Reimagined by Nicoletta Rosellini as an Emotional Cover

With the release of an orchestral version of “Try Me,” Nicoletta Rosellini and Alessandro Mammola (Alterium) present an emotional reinterpretation of a classic in rock history.

The song was originally released in 1977 on the album Lights Out by the British hard rock legends UFO. Even then it stood out for its melancholic mood and the use of string arrangements, making it one of the band’s most memorable ballads.

UFO – Try Me: A Classic Reimagined

The new cover continues the orchestral approach of the original. With piano, strings, and expressive vocals, it transforms the bittersweet mix of longing and fragility into a modern, cinematic soundscape. Alessandro Mammola adds further depth with his guitar performance, creating a captivating balance between classic rock and orchestral atmosphere.

It is worth noting that Lights Out significantly shaped UFO’s sound. Producer Ron Nevison and arranger Alan McMillan expanded the band’s hard rock core with orchestral arrangements for the first time. “Try Me” remains a striking example of UFO’s ability to blend rock with symphonic elements, paving the way for later generations of bands.

Thanks to the Ko-fi Community

An essential aspect of this release is the support from Nicoletta’s Ko-fi community. The contributions of her fans made this project possible, a clear example of how direct support opens new creative paths and gives artists more freedom in their musical journey.

Looking Ahead to the October Cover

The next project is already on the horizon: at the end of October Nicoletta Rosellini will release a cover of “We Are the Others” by Delain. Originally released in 2012, the song addresses acceptance and the right to be different and remains highly relevant today. Nicoletta’s series of emotional cover versions continues with this track, which carries a powerful message both musically and lyrically, this time interpreted in a metal style.

The new cover of “Try Me” is not only a tribute to a classic from the 70s but also a bridge between past and present, supported by a strong community and a creative vision that will find its next exciting chapter in October.
