Singer returns to Reggaeton and presents clips with epic aesthetics and engaging narrative
The Brazilian singer Anitta returns to Reggaeton with “Romeo”, her first single soloist of the year, published last Thursday. The track continues its album appointed for Grammy and Latin Grammy, “Funk Generation”, and was produced by Subelo Neo, head of Bad Bunny, Eladio Carrión and Mora.
The new song comes accompanied by a cinematographic music video that reinterprets the classic “Romeo and Giulietta”, bringing a new perspective to the most famous love story of Shakespeare.
In the clip, Anitta embodies a modern Romeo, wearing a silver armor and showing imposing powerful wings. The contrast is on Larissa, the real name of the singer, who plays a more introspective role like Juliet.
Visual fiction obtains a special touch with the narration of the singer of Porter Aicine Lenny Tavárez, who adds a dramatic and passionate atmosphere to production. The exit of the single strategically coincides with Valentine’s Day in the United States, strengthening the romantic theme of the song.
The release of “Romeo” is only the beginning of an intense year for Anitta. The artist is preparing to return to the Coachella stage, one of the most prestigious music festivals in the world, marking his second performance at the event.
In addition, it will be the subject of a new Netflix documentary entitled “Larissa: the other side of anitta”. The film, directed by João Wainer and Pedro Caintelmo, promises to reveal a more personal and vulnerable aspect of the singer.
Rebeca León, CEO and founder of Lionfish Entertainment, explains the difference between the two people who coexist in the life of the artist: “Anitta is superhero, Larissa is the human being”. The documentary proposes to show the most intimate side of the singer, away from the spotlight and the glamor of pop music.
The duality between Anitta and Larissa
In a declaration on the documentary, Anitta shared profound reflections on her career. “This is the first time that the audience will see Larissa that it exists behind anitta, without filters,” he said. “I dedicated myself a lot so that it was there. Moments of connection with myself have become increasingly rare and short. But this had a high cost – physically and mentally.”
He also stressed that over 15 years of career has built a strong, independent and adamant image. “Now it’s time to intimately show Larissa, through the lenses of someone who knew me even before thinking of becoming anitta. The film is beautiful, exciting and honest. I think it will surprise many people.”
With “Romeo”, Anitta reiterates his musical versatility and his ability to reinvent himself artistically. The single strengthens its influence on Reggaeton, a genre in which it has gained internationally space. Already the music video, transforming “Romeo and Giulietta” into a metaphor for his journey, adds levels of meaning to the project.
Available on all streaming platforms, “Romeo” promises to be one of the great successes of the year, consolidating even more anity in the global scenario. Watch the music video and find out this new aspect of the singer.
