NUMBER 1

Dax - Dear Alcohol

Dax released his latest track 'Dear Alcohol' last month. Along with the emotive lyrics and very personal journey, Dax gave the world the above visuals to enhance the meaning and motive behind this track. Opening with Dax appearing to literally be drowning in alcohol, we see the typography of a message. "Dear Alcohol, I don't think you're as bad as what they say. Everything else in this world is temporary so why does it even matter if I drink you anyway..." giving us an insight into his existential demons. We later see Dax floating, suggesting the freedom and detachment he has felt when he's drunk. Dax let us know that he stopped drinking after he wrote this song.

NUMBER 3

Lilac Thief- take care.

Lilac Thief has released their debut single titled 'take care.' The music video is set in Australia, Adelaide (shot by Adelaide photographer Angus Northeast). The visuals showcase Lilac Thief distant and alone amongst cinematic scenery, "take care." is a celebration of the ephemeral, a reminder that all good things come to an end. We loved the concept and the scenery in this video so we've gone for the Number 3 slot.

NUMBER 4

22 OCEANS - Home

British indie-pop artist '22 Oceans' from Liverpool UK presents their new single 'Home'. "The song shows us the imagery associated with the "feeling of happiness that you feel when thinking about the memories you’ve made with people you enjoy spending time with. It is a reflection of how we are always connected to those we love, no matter how much time may have passed." The simplicity of the video is integral to the message of the song, we really loved the connection between the lyrics, production, and the video.

NUMBER 5

We were informed that this track was self-produced and distributed by the label French M&O. "Summer's end" photographs the emotional condition of Mimmo Ripa (composer of the musical project.

This is a truly moving true story-inspired masterpiece. When asked about the inspiration behind the video we were informed of the following "When I wrote ‘Youth’ I immediately knew that I wanted to have the visuals shot in Kenya where I grew up. He told us that he was sent a film by Maceo Frost of some Kenyan children who were attending a ballet school in the middle of the slum in Kibera, minutes away from where he grew up in Nairobi.

Definitely check the video out and maybe google Dante Rosetti if you're not famiar with his works.
