Alok & Anitta – “Looking For Love” (Official Video)
The music video was filmed in São Paulo featuring both Alok and Anitta. In the video, the two Brazilian superstars play on the fun rivalry created by their fanbases, as they are the two most-listened-to Brazilian artists globally, often ‘competing’ for the top spot.
As the song starts, Anitta’s hypnotic vocal melody immediately takes center stage complemented by the crisp instrumental. The track quickly builds into the catchy chorus as Anitta recites the lyrics, “That’s why I keep looking for love. Keep looking, looking. I keep looking for you.”
Alok’s atmospheric production and Anitta’s outstanding voice come together perfectly creating a contagious energy that will thrill their fans everywhere. “Looking For Love” is a monumental release, as the two superstars are atop the list of most-listened-to Brazilian artists on Spotify, combining for over 55 million monthly listeners.
In his own words, Alok explains: “This is a collaboration that’s been anticipated for years—not just by the public, but by us as well. We’ve both wanted to work together for a long time. This collaboration happened at the perfect time; I say this because, in addition to the musical growth we’ve experienced over the years, there’s also been professional growth. Now we have the confidence to navigate different styles.”
Anitta adds: “The desire for this partnership isn’t recent; Alok and I have known each other for a long time. I’ve always been dedicated to bringing sonic diversity to my music—it’s something my audience expects. This collaboration is yet another proof of that. I’ve always admired Alok’s work, and producing this song with him is the result of a union of strengths and a lot of hard work.”
Alok
“Looking For Love” comes following Alok’s first two nominations for the 2024 Latin GRAMMY Music Awards in the new ‘Best Latin Electronic Music Performance’ category for his songs, “Pedju Kunumigwe” with Guarani Nhandewa from his The Future Is Ancestral project, and “Drum Machine” with masked dance music artist DJ Pickle. Alok performed live at the Latin GRAMMY Premiere Ceremony which took place before the main ceremony and broadcast.
Alok is preparing for his biggest tour yet – his “ÁUREA Tour,” which will travel across Brazil bringing a custom mega stage into football stadiums in November. It kicked off with a monumental show in Brazil on November 23rd to celebrate the one-year countdown to the international climate summit, COP30 Brazil, for which Alok is an ambassador.
Alok recently performed at the Global Citizen Music Festival in New York alongside some of the indigenous musicians with whom he collaborated on his album, “The Future Is Ancestral.” The project has captured significant attention, having been awarded by UNESCO and receiving support from the United Nations and the GRAMMY Museum in Los Angeles where Alok performed alongside his Indigenous collaborators from across Brazil as part of the Global Spin Live series.
Alok’s song from the album, “JARAHA” with Brô MC’s from the project was recently announced to be included in the Official Soundtrack for the ‘EA Sports FC 25’ video game.
