“Inuyasha”: the great return of Mahmood (in Japanese sauce)

After bewitching the audience with Money and to have dominated the charts with hits like Quick e Dorado, Mahmood returns to music with a new single, a pair of metallic claws and a bright red dress. Inuyasha, the new ballad written together with Dardust, who is also the producer, starts from the red sun of the East and from a Japanese manga entitled, in fact, Inuyasha, a half-demon who decides to extinguish his dark side by giving up becoming a demon for protect his traveling companions.

The song, which will be available on February 3 on the platforms and in radio rotation from 5, anticipating the release of a new album of unreleased tracks still top secret, it once again represents Mahmood’s will to go further and test his all-round artistry, embracing sounds and images apparently far from his experience yet so flamboyant and so evocative for the fans who follow him and listen to him with feeling. Inuyasha, after all, it’s not that a metaphor to describe the complexity of relationships, the thrust that now underlines our desire to express ourselves and now suggests that we do not pour out our worst part on others, enclosing it “within a chrysalis”.

With symbolic references and references to a culture to which Mahmood feels very close, the song manages to touch new personal chords, underlining the urgency to explore new artistic realities. A constant in the career of the singer who, in the last three years, has collected 14 platinum discs, 5 gold discs and over 400 million streaming, becoming one of the clearest and best known voices of urban pop not only in Italy, but also in the rest of Europe.
