New video: Rising Swedish pop artist Ellen Krauss releases cinematic video for new single ‘Criminal To Love’
Speaking about the video, Ellen says “Making the video for Criminal to Love was a cool new experience. We shot it in the suburbs of LA, in a torn down liquor store and a staged trailer park. I like the way the film gives the audience behind the scenes footage and an honest view of film-making. Someones powdering my nose and then it cuts to me robbing the cashier. I had lots of fun making this. Throwing eggs at people is not an everyday thing, nor is spray painting for me…”

NEW MICHAEL KIWANUKA SINGLE & VIDEO “HERO” + 2020 TOUR DATES
Michael Kiwanuka today launched the official video for his new single, “Hero”, off his forthcoming album KIWANUKA, out November 1st via Interscope. The song pays homage to some of the world’s most important history-changing heroes that were taken too soon due to violence; heroes to Michael and others, like Fred Hampton, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, JFK, Sam Cooke, John Lennon, Marvin Gaye, Tupac and more. The flip side, of course, is the idea that those who bring the most evil to this world seem to live the longest, making him ponder the idea that maybe all heroes die first. The video is based on COINTELPRO- the FBI’s covert program of suppressing organizations and public figures, including musicians, who were involved in or supported anti-establishment political activity from the 1950’s through to the 70’s. Directed by CC Wade, The video shows a tornado of conspiracy surrounding a famous musician’s death, set against the backdrop of 60s black liberation movements, FBI corruption and hippie counter culture. Kiwanuka simply states, “Hero is a song about how the gems of this world always seem to die young, and how those who are oppressed often seem to have the most to offer us.” “Hero” follows the UK singer-songwriter’s first single and video off the album, “You Ain’t The Problem”, which Pitchfork calls “a delightfully boisterous mix of drums and horns, which anchor twisting guitars and array of vocal loops.”
