JOHN GRANT SHARES NEW VIDEO FOR “DOWN HERE”
John Grant has shared the video for “Down Here” with The Guardian today. The poignant clip mirrors the message of the song. Grant’s lyrics say, “Do you really think nobody sees the fear behind your smile / and why do you care what anybody thinks at all / it’s all going to the same thing in the end. And what we’ve got down here is oceans of longing…” And the visual narrative follows a young boy who dreams of joining a synchronized swim team.

JEAN RODRIGUEZ NEW VIDEO
Jean Rodríguez “Solo Un Baile” (Kizomba):
JADE THE MOON NEW VIDEO
Written & directed by Chad Rook, the video is a dark and symbolic metaphor of how love and hurt can affect us emotionally, physically and spiritually. The video features Jade being protected by a (quite dark) force that follows her in the shadows to keep her out of harms way. The song subtly builds on a vocal/flute sample into an electro-pop anthem. Soaring and anxiously-reckoning in execution.

LIKE TORCHES REVEAL NEW TRACK AND MUSIC VIDEO FOR “SWING BY SWING”
Lead singer Jonathan Kärn comments: ‘Swing By Swing’ is the first song we wrote when we began the writing process for our upcoming album ‘Shelter.’ It’s probably the song that reminds me most about our first record ‘Keep Your Head High’ and I think our fans will appreciate that. It is probably one of the ”poppiest” songs on the record, but still with a hint of Nordic heaviness, so I’d say it definitely has more edge. Lyrically the song is really just about how messed up and broken our society is.”
