Salt Cathedral have shared another single from their anticipated debut album coming this May on Ultra Music. “How Beautiful (she is)” breezes in like a rush of air-conditioning on the hottest day of summer with an exuberant beat and verses in English and Brazilian Portuguese. The group says, “‘How Beautiful (she is)’ is inspired by the concept of The Girl From Ipanema, a girl walks by and she’s so beautiful – it reimagines it but saying this time that beauty is in the attitude and it is also in the eye of the beholder as opposed to in society’s standards. The rhythm is our take on Brazil’s baile funk and having MC Bin Laden from Sao Paolo & duendita from Queens, NY jump on this makes it truly global.”

It was all very mysterious and I had no idea if I was doing a good job or anything until it came back after being animated. Turns out I’m a pretty good mime!”

Devon Williams shares new “Circus World” video via LA Record
Regarding the video, Williams stated: “With ‘Circus World’ I was having a lot of one-sided conversations, and my head kept spinning around in circles. But the world kept spinning and when I stepped out of my head, I felt out of touch. It’s sort of a tightrope between being lost in thought and then just floating through the world without looking for. ‘Circus World’ is just feeling like everything is absurd, and finding the humor in it makes it a little more palatable. Am I a joke for always trying to find to humor in the world? Or is the world full of clowns? Really, it’s tough to decide when the joke has gone too far. The video was made by Mike Cullen. He’s made a handful of videos for me—’Pendulum,’ ‘Puzzle,’ ‘Revelations.’ He and I pulled clips that represented the harsh contrast you’d find on TV and internet. It’s disturbing to try and navigate, and I think the clips show the absurdity of that contrast.”
