Love Island Meets Big Brother in Stromae and Camila Cabello's ‘Mon Amour’ Collaboration

Global Belgium singer/songwriter Stromae and Cuban-American star Camila Cabello today release a brand new version of Stromae’s hit ‘Mon Amour’.

After meeting at the Met Gala in New York earlier this year and bonding over Cabello’s love of Stromae’s original Mon Amour track, this collaboration was born. 

The music video which features Stromae and Camila Cabello is here

Directed by duo Julien & Quentin through international production company HAMLET, the music video is a parody of reality TV programmes that are now firmly embedded into our culture. Villa “Mon Amour" is a reality show where you have to be strategic, charismatic and seductive to reach the final. The ten participants do not hesitate to use all their assets to reach their goals. Friendship, seduction and betrayal are inevitable. Beware of the mystery phone which can launch some fiery challenges... The eliminations will only spare the winner...

Could it be that there is a little bit of these contestants in each of us? 

Julien Martorell, one half of directing duo Julien & Quentin said, "We had a lot of fun working with Stromae and his entourage on this music video. It is very different from our usual work, and even though it took us out of our comfort zone, we loved concentrating on our cast, directing the actors and leaving room for improvisation.”

Quentin Garabedian, the other half of directing duo Julien & Quentin added, "The video is also meant to test and propose new things. The idea of reality TV seemed to us to be quite ideal to illustrate the song, the lightness of certain situations that are mixed with small dramas that take on a huge scale...we watched a lot of reality TV to immerse ourselves in that world, quite an experience!"
