artist · 2026-05-05

Sicilian singer-songwriter Fabrizio Cammarata has released a music video for his new single "Hold And Stay," drawing inspiration from Francisco Goya's Black Paintings, Mustafa Sabbagh's "black on black" photography, and Kimiko Yoshida's classical portraits. The video, directed by Manuela Di Pisa, was recorded at Palermo's Indigo studio and will feature on Cammarata's upcoming album "On The Shadows." The track explores the tension between lovers who keep secrets to avoid forming an unbreakable bond. Cammarata, who has opened for Ben Harper, Iron & Wine, Patti Smith, Daniel Johnston, and Hindi Zahra, continues a tradition of Sicilian musicians engaging with visual arts, following the rock band Omosumo who commissioned painter Fulvio Di Piazza for their album cover.
