Premiere: What You Gonna Do (Video) – Nemi

Like most indie artists during the pandemic, NEMI had to put on her thinking hat and really get creative, dodging the obstacles that the lockdown presents…and as a result, she became interested in the visual aspect of music. Despite having extremely swollen hands from her condition eczema, somehow the alt pop songstress made it happen and circled back to her earlier singles and produced a series of accompanied DIY music videos.

Now Nemi has unveiled the stunning visuals for her 2017 debut single, ‘What You Gonna Do’, which she produced with the help of Niko Pelicolo. Niko made contact with Nemi after hearing her 2019 single, ‘I Can’t Get Through To You’ on a Domino’s Pizza advert and by chance, he expressed his interest in making a film. Though the pair met under peculiar circumstances, they managed to piece together a collage-style production, which features Nemi and her closest friends who elegantly strut to the tranquil experimental pop debut, sporting the musician’s infamous orange bob.

Nemi was previously featured on NEW LEASE MUSIC with the video for single, ‘I Can’t Get Through To You’, which claimed the blog’s Music Video of the Week title five times – a record that’s yet to be broken on the blog’s charts show on Instagram.

Be sure to place Nemi on your radar, as she gets ready to release her EP…for now, press play on the video for ‘What You Gonna Do’.

Song of the Day: Cosmic Heart – Becky Bowe

The title track of her latest album, released earlier this month, UK singer-songwriter BECKY BOWE‘s ethereal love song, ‘Cosmic Heart’, radiates pure emotion. The single carries light tinges of jazz as smooth trumpet is brought in to resonate with the songstresses’ voice.

Based on the man who would eventually become her fiance, the single showcases a young woman’s tenacity in the knowledge that she had found her soulmate. Ending on a strong note with a choir entering at full strength, a choral element is brought forward, reinforcing the celestial soundscapes.

Speaking of the single, Becky Bowe shares further insight: “This song is really personal to me. I wrote it when I was 18 years old when I first started going out with my now fiancé. I was so used to writing the stereotypical break up song which always worked a treat however this time round I was feeling feelings that I didn’t know how to put on paper. I then started writing a song about him and about how amazing he is as a person and that’s where the song came to life. This song is just about an out of this world love that you find or have with someone.”

Produced and engineered by Aidan Thompson who, as part of Max Restaino’s band, played as the supporting act for Rebecca Ferguson, UB40 and Tears for Fears, ‘Cosmic Heart’ follows Becky’s previous single, ’That’s How Love Works’, which reached Number 9 in the UK iTunes Singer/Songwriter charts.
