“Strangers to Lovers,” marks a new stage in the two Romanian artists’ collaboration, with the release not only bringing forth a captivating song, but further unveiling the authentic story of friendship between the two artists.
In 2016 Manuel Riva and Eneli first teamed up to deliver the international hit “Mhm Mhm”, which dominated the charts in the United States, breaking both artists onto the Billboard Dance Club Chart where the track rose for 10 weeks straight. With heavy rotation on all Romanian radio stations, the single went on to hit many European Shazam charts in countries such as Bulgaria, Cyprus, Moldova, Lithuania, and Armenia. The song has garnered over 60 million views on YouTube and 14 million streams on Spotify. After writing and working together for many years, Manuel Riva and Eneli now release “Strangers to Lovers”, the next step forward in their musical collaboration.
“‘Strangers to Lovers’ is a story of love and perseverance and speaks about the fight for love, regardless of the obstacles encountered on the journey towards each other, and the lyrics will resonate with many listeners.” – Eneli
The music video, based on Manuel Riva’s original concept and directed by MGM, follows the same theme and presents the poignant story of two astronauts in love who find each other in space.
“In the endless dance of stars and galaxies, the heart always finds its own universe.”
