Soulful singer-songwriter Dave Curl shares fun-filled video for single ‘Riders’

Dave Curl has unveiled a magnificent video for his surf-rock inspired single ‘Riders’. The video premiered on renowned tastemaker EARMILK and features Dave, among his surfing community getting ready to take on the waves at one of his favourite surfing spots in the world.

The single, which was released on October 10th, sees Dave take a new direction with his folk-pop-rock sound to something a bit more lighthearted with a touch of whimsy. ‘Riders’ is all about Dave’s passion for surfing and the impact it’s had on his life.

The music video is a visual feast, impeccably showcasing the shoreline and landscape of the Fuerteventura island, the second largest Canary Island. The video opens with a shot of Dave walking along the shore with his guitar strung around him, while the rest of the “riders” crew arrive in eager anticipation smiling from ear to ear. The crew are then seen donning their wetsuits, waxing their boards and gearing up to hit the waves. Interspersed with shots of the crew and Dave on the water having the time of their lives, are shots of Dave walking along the shoreline singing his heart out while playing guitar.

Watch the video below:

Dave Curl told us: “Inspired by 20 years of surfing in Fuerteventura, I set out to create a music video capturing the island’s desertlike beauty and the powerful connection with the ocean. Filming alongside the incredible Riders surf crew and lady surfers at the iconic lighthouse, I aimed to show the magic, struggle, and serenity that surfing here brings. With perfect waves and weather on our side, I hope this video captures the spirit of Fuerteventura and the joy of surfing.”

Despite its overt somber and melancholic atmosphere, the track is beautifully heartwarming too as it addresses the power of human connection when times are tough. The accompanying music video sees Livvy and Maddox in a bright, sun-filled apartment singing vehemently side by side.

vaghy shares stunning video for ‘When The Night Falls’

Belgrade-based classical composer vaghy released his latest single ‘When The Night Falls’ on 11 October via Théque Records. The single features multi-disciplinary artist and vocalist Ohnody, with a phenomenal accompanying music video. This incredible collaboration was facilitated by the National Cultural Fund of Hungary.

Watch the music video for vaghy x Ohnody – ‘When The Night Falls’ below:

vaghy (Tamás Vághy) is a renowned classical pianist who has shifted lanes under the moniker vaghy from solely composing classical music, to using synths and vintage instruments to craft groundbreaking soundscapes.

Over the course of his career, vaghy has performed with classical music stalwart Lubomyr Melnyk, received support from the likes of Worldwide FM, as well as acclaimed publications Son Of Marketing and Recorder.hu.

Dori Hegyi, who goes by Ohnody, is also based in Budapest. Ohnody is her solo project where she merges visual art, poetry and her delicate vocals. Ohnody is a phenomenal artist who has over 1 million Spotify streams for her single ‘Hideg’, while she was also the first ambassador of the Spotify Equal Campaign in Hungary last year.

The music video is a visual feast, featuring a stunning solo performance by a dancer in a vacant home and outdoors, as the sun sets during twilight. The lighting is moody, low with calming yet brooding blue undertones, creating a foreboding ambience. The single itself is striking and overflowing with duality, profound emotion and intention. It was produced by vaghy as well as Ohnody, with mixing and mastering by Ferenc Stámusz of Stamusic.Studios Budapest.

Bence Szemerey from Odesa Films, who filmed the video shares: “The concept of the film is based on the music video’s title. Its dual nature inspired me to find the boundary that matches the line “when the night falls”—a special moment when light and dark coexist. The dancer performs inside a house with a small tree at its center, while simultaneously dancing in a forest with a tiny house in the middle. This duality is enhanced by shooting the entire music video during the “blue hour” – that magical time after sunset when the night falls”.

NEACAL FINDS STRENGTH IN DARKNESS WITH NEW SINGLE ‘UNREST’

Neacal has unveiled ‘Unrest’, the third single from his forthcoming debut album. The single was released on 13 September, with an otherworldly music video on Neacal’s YouTube channel. The producer, singer-songwriter has been a composer for over 16 years and has shifted directions from progressive rock to orchestral pop music.

Stream Neacal – ‘Unrest’ below:

Neacal’s music is healing and transformative. It doesn’t shy away from the dark aspects of life such as severe mental health conditions and chronic internal struggles, instead it embraces it. Through his music, Neacal makes peace with his demons, trauma and path, a key reminder to be as courageous as possible when faced with your shadow.

‘Unrest’ serves as a turning point in his personal journey as well as his debut album Stranger from Long Ago set for release in October this year. He explains; “’Unrest’ is the culminating point of my upcoming debut album, where the emotional stakes are at their highest, and the drama peaks. Despite its sombre mood and underworld-themed imagery, this is not a song about embracing death, but about conquering it. And such victory may only come at a very high cost. For me personally this song was a harbinger of my inevitable mental meltdown, an internal collapse that had already begun by that time unbeknownst to me, and that took months to overcome.”

The track features his endearing vocals and enigmatic songwriting, with lyrics like – “Raise our black flag, unrest in peace, grieving bliss, death gave us each a parting kiss” – creating a unique take on death and ultimately re-birth. The single has a minimalist start, with Neacal’s vocals driving it forward into a more ceremonial climax, featuring signature orchestral pop elements. The music video is a mystical feast, and was shot on the Scottish shores with black and white colour grading emphasising its esoteric and otherworldly nature.
