Stiletto heels and half-naked bodies are certainly nothing new to fans of the Maneskin. Thanks to the triumphs in Sanremo and the Eurovision Song Contest, combined with the top of Spotify’s global chart, the Roman group has put their erotic and sensual aesthetics under the eyes of a world audience. Which today reaches a new peak thanks to the video by I Wanna Be Your Slave, single contained within the disc Theater of Wrath – Volume 1.
An imaginary that winks at fetish and bondage, where social constructs and gender divisions mix and overlap. A world made of lights and shadows, “strange and disturbing” images, as the singer Damiano David defined them, “to show that, despite the taboos, for many people they represent normality”. Provocations, such as the kiss between Damiano and drummer Ethan Torchio, which become standard bearers of a deeper message: “We hope to make even a minimum of difference – explains bassist Victoria De Angelis – because for us it is really very important when a our fan tells us ‘your music has helped me to accept who I am and to live it more freely’ “.
The video, after an hour from the preview on Youtube, has already collected more than 40 thousand views, and is already in first place among the trend topics on Twitter.
