The new single “RA TA TA”, written by MAHMOOD and produced by Katoo and Madfingerz, is a story in which images follow one another sculpted by the artist’s unique style. Young people who live a daily life of discomfort, among insults and wrong company, in which the typical elements of childhood – games, fruit juice – mix in an oxymoron of abandonment and difficulty, where the machine-gun mouth that shoots words in bursts it becomes the only weapon to defend oneself from injustice.
The video clip is directed by Attilio Cusani and Mahmood himself with the production of Borotalco.tv in collaboration with +216/Capsul. Filmed in a hot Tunisian summer, its protagonists are boys and girls of all ages who alternate their days between moments of boredom and scenes of aggregation. Motorbike trips and evening get-togethers, with the city lights as a backdrop and the hope of being able to create new horizons together.
The summer tour will be an opportunity to listen to this new single and the songs from the album “NEI LETTI DEGLI TRI” live. In fact, MAHMOOD, accompanied by his trusted band – which features Francesco Fugazza on guitar, Marcello Grilli on keyboard and Elia Pastori on drums – and by the backing singers Arya Del Gado and Debora Cesti, will propose a set list with his most intimate songs such as “COCKTAIL D’ AMORE” (gold record), “NEL TUO MARE” and the moving “SHOOTING STAR” up to the more irreverent “NEVE SULLE JORDAN” and “PERSONALE”. There will also be less recent successes, which with a dive into the past give us new arrangements of “INUYASHA”, “BRIVIDI”, “RAPIDE” and many others, in addition to the highly anticipated “SOLDI” and “TUTA GOLD”.
The album “NEI LETTI DEGLI ALTRI” was released on all platforms on February 16th and in physical formats on March 8th, with three new songs and two exceptional collaborations: “PERSONALE” with Geolier (gold record), “OVERDOSE” and “SEMPRE/JAMAIS” with Belgian singer Angèle. With more than 355 million streams and certified PLATINUM, it debuted at #1 in FIMI with only digital copies in the week of release, a result also replicated with physical copies, gaining #1 place in the album and CD charts , best-selling vinyls and cassettes of the week. It also ranked #5 on Spotify’s Global Debut Top Albums (weekend February 16-18). Read the press kit here.
The album contains “TUTA GOLD”, recently certified QUADRUPLE PLATINUM and which has over 265 million global streams on all platforms. The song maintained its #1 position in the FIMI ranking of best-selling singles for three weeks in a row and also achieved great success abroad: in the week of its release it debuted in the Top 50 Global and achieved #2 place in the Top Songs Debut Global (9-11 February), as well as being the #7 most searched lyric in the world on Genius.
