Italy - Mahmood & Blanco - Brividi

6 - 268 pts   

Brividi (chills) by Mahmood and Blanco, the winner of the 72th Sanremo festival,  was the home entry for the Eurovision Song Contest.
(Alessandro) Mahmood and Blanco (Riccardo Fabbriconi) wrote the song themselves with Michele Zocca.

The song is available as a digital single (2-2-22) and also on this years Sanremo compilation (see below). The original is too long for Eurovision and a revamp/edit was made for Eurovision (and the official album).

Several remixes have popped on the net but the Tony Cralled remix is the first official one so far. (Universal, available through most digitals but it's found under Mahmood Blanco as one (artists) name).
A new remix was released on 13-5: The MEDUZA remix. A promo cdsingle of this mix was issued (Island/Universal)

Digital release image

We know Mahmood from Soldi, the runner up in the Tel Aviv contest in 2019. All about that one here.

Brividi (Four hands) is a version on official channels (Spotify etc) with just added piano. Since it's not through the original label it's a questionable release.
