singer-songwriter/performance artist Jillian Hervey and producer/instrumentalist Lucas Goodman (Astro Raw) -aka LION BABE – have released a captivating and sensual visual for their track ‘Rockets’ ft Moe Moks.

Directed by Chalalai Fischbach and Jett Cain with Creative Direction from LION BABE, the five minute video showcases Jillian’s mesmerising dance moves and the dazzling creativity that has set the duo apart in their own league, since they first burst onto the scene with their debut track and visual for the modern classic ‘Treat Me Like Fire’. ‘Rockets’ is further brought to life with the show-stopping celebration of club and ballroom culture through various eras in time, in this must-see clip.

The visual follows the release of a set of brand new remixes for their two latest tracks ‘Rockets’ (feat Moe Moks) and ‘Hit The Ceiling’. Unveiling the remixes earlier this month, ‘Rockets’ (feat Moe Moks) has been given an urgent, Afrostep remix by mOma+Guy – which features at the end of the brand new visual – and a sultry and soulful update from collaborator and fellow New Yorker Simen Sez, whilst ‘Hit The Ceiling’ gets an addictive dance-funk remix from Zikomo and also receives the remix treatment from legendary dance producer and DJ Kenny Dope.
