MAHMOOD: “Cocktail d’amore” the video shot in Naples (Watch the video)

Interviews

The video is online LOVE COCKTAILMahmood’s new single (Read the interview).

LOVE COCKTAIL, written by MAHMOOD and produced by Dardust, is a melancholic ballad about the end of a relationship, which delicately browses through the couple’s memories, from travel to the simplest moments and gestures, up to retracing expectations and desires now clouded by regrets.

Filmed in Naples and directed by TORSO – Los Angeles directors internationally recognized in the world of music and who have signed the most important fashion campaigns of recent years -, the video translates the atmosphere of the song into images, through a game of contrasts where MAHMOOD tries to escape the limbo of his hotel room by completely immersing himself in the video game he is playing. The boundaries between real life and the action game blur, until the pixelated acrobatics and special effects give way to the real alleys of the city, through which the protagonist runs, blending in with the crowd and the clouds, until he finds relief in a liberating dive into the sea.

I shot it in Naples. A wonderful city. The people are fantastic, they welcome you in an incredible way. A magical place!
