Music video

edit

The music video for "An Invitation" was shot at location in the Church Palace in Rome, Italy during Katina's trip to an album presentation concert at Auditorium Parco della Musica in November 2014, while she was three months pregnant. Set in a luxurious, sexy atmosphere, the video shows Katina as a mysterious, almost angelical woman trying to convince a man to come to a pure world and escape a lustful life; he's seen surrounded by models.

The video premiered on May 12, 2015 at a press conference in the Church Palace with Katina and the whole video team explaining its concept.[2]

The video won the 2015 Accolade Global Film Competition "Award of Excellence"[3] and the 2015 Apex Short Film + Music Video Festival award for "Best Soft-rock Music Video".[4]
