KARMACODA wrap up 2021 with hand-animated music video

Looking back, it’s clear 2021 has been the year of greats for KARMACODA. The trio kicked things off in March with the release of their captivating single, Make Me The One whose video won numerous awards including two 2021 Hermes Creative Awards, one Unglued Music Video award and three Davey Awards for Video Entertainment, Best Use of Music and Art Direction. There were several other releases for the band as they built towards the reveal of their stunning LP,  Slow Down, Melt and Catch Fire which was released a few short months later in July.

The US-based trio have returned once more to round out the end of the year with one last release: a carefully handcrafted music video for their melancholic single, ‘Lo-Fi Girl’. The video was animated by Shubhranshu and Shephali at the Entangled Studio in India and calls to mind bygone eras and timeless love stories. KARMACODA’s latest video has already received support from Clout Magazine and Raw Entertainment with rustles in the air as more publications become lost in the video.

Brett of KARMACODA share his thoughts on the video for ‘Lo-Fi Girl’: “We reached out to Shubhranshu and Shephali at Entangled Studio because their artistic vision for the music video fit perfectly with the somber, even sad, emotions conveyed in the song.  We’re thrilled by the results.”

November 3, 2021 Waveshaper shares striking video for ‘The Phantom Machine (Film Edit)’

Waveshaper shares striking video for ‘The Phantom Machine (Film Edit)’

Waveshaper has shared the video for ‘The Phantom Machine (Film Edit)’ The track is an extended version for the upcoming short film The Phantom Machine directed by Jendo Shabo, of Helios Films, while the original track is lifted from his album Mainframe – released earlier this year and comprised of 8 spellbinding synthwave offerings.

‘The Phantom Machine (Film Edit)’ is well suited to a science fiction horror story soundtrack, and renders its own story through its undulating instrumentals and accelerating tempo. 

The video is set in a post-apocalyptic world, where a brave traveller meets the malicious Phantom Machine in a video-game-like battle, complete with striking futuristic visuals.

A comment on the Youtube video by Dave M. sums it up perfectly:  “This is what all of us secretly imagine when listening to retrowave.”

October 26, 2021 Matilde Davoli shares compelling visual narrative in video for ‘Il Coraggio di Provare’

Matilde Davoli shares compelling visual narrative in video for ‘Il Coraggio di Provare’

The video for Matilde Davoli’s new single ‘Il Coraggio di Provare’ has been shared, ahead of the release of her upcoming full album Home – set to drop on November 5th via Loyal To your Dreams.

Directed by Niccolò Natali of SANTABELVA, the video was shot in Marina di Pisa, Tuscany. The track’s monumental soundscape is well suited to the visuals which tell the surreal story of a woman reliving her youth through a daydream. The catalyst is a strange and beautiful dress made from a parachute, that metaphorically speaks of flying away.

‘Il Coraggio di Provare’ is a track to seek out when respite from this busy world is sought. The song is both uplifting and soothing, and Davoli’s ability to render emotion with sound has created something here that resonates with subtle power.

Davoli gives some insight into the plot: “The video for my latest single features Caterina, an elderly woman, who finds a special dress from when she was young, made from a parachute. This memory will transport her far from the picnic she’s having with her grandchildren, and to a post-war summer in the company of military deserters. We wanted the video to be an immersive sound journey of extraordinary evocative power, where the intimate and suspended music marries with Caterina’s emotions, while she digs distant memories that require a little courage to be lived again.”

Polina shares video for ‘FAENA’

October 14, 2021 (Los Angeles, CA) – Global pop artist and songwriter POLINA released her international smash “Faena” this past August to much acclaim. The track, written by POLINA and produced by ORGAN was inspired by the South Beach Faena Hotel and features sexy vocals, breezy production, and a seductive chorus that you’ll be chilling out to all through the fall. Showcasing the many different vibes of POLINA, the video was shot at the Faena and captures the magic of the space, and the inspiration for the track perfectly. This is an absolute must watch. 

Said POLINA of filming the video for ‘FAENA‘, “It was so special to shoot the video at the place that inspired me to write the song. The video follows me as I’m totally alone in the hotel, having a party for one, while Faena’s vibrant locations bring out different characters in me. I had the best creative team around me and there’s quite a bit of choreography involved. Produced by Hoodyakov Productions it’s the first video I-co directed too. So much love and work went into it, now I’m super excited to share it with the world! Enjoy.”

POLINA is a Russian-born artist and songwriter living in Los Angeles. Born in Moscow into an artistic family (her mom is Russian 90’s pop singer ANKA, father is abstract painter Ruslan Gudiev) it was inevitable that Polina would find her way into an artistic medium, and songwriting became her passion. As a songwriter and vocalist, the musician’s credits include: “Legacy” from Eminem’s Grammy-winning album The Marshall Mathers LP (songwriter, guest vocalist), Sean Kingston’s Top 10 UK hit “Party All Night (Sleep All Day)” (co-writer) featured in the movie “The Inbetweeners,” as well as writing credits for global pop stars (Katy Perry, Rihanna) and vocal features on singles for EDM icons (Tiesto, Steve Aoki, Kaskade).

POLINA made a statement on the release of single, “Book of Love,” the chart-topping collaboration with Felix Jaehn (certified Gold in Germany, #1 on the Airplay Chart 4 consecutive weeks), following the breakout success of her song “Fade to Love” (certified Gold in Italy). Her music has taken her around the world, and performing is a passion for the artist who has frequented the stages of some of the world’s biggest festivals (Ultra, Tomorrowland, Electric Zoo) as a special guest artist on Felix Jaehn’s Bonfire Tour, and Steve Aoki’s Wonderland Tour.

Stay tuned for more to come from POLINA.
