Unrequited love is hard but it’s so much sweeter when you got a good soundtrack. BLACK BIRD HUM have given us that with their new single ‘Say You Want’ which draws from traditional smooth reggae vibes and a touch of 60s doo-wop to bring an all together romantic and chill number to soothe your lovelorn heart.
To celebrate this new release, the band have given us their top five videos they’re loving right now…
Keep Running – New Venusians
Awesome song and a really slick, beautiful clip to boot.
Rasta Live – The Strides
These guys are like our big brothers. Paving the way for the little siblings to do their thing. This clip is smooth. Some great movement throughout.
Once – NGAIIRE
This video is a trip. And it’s videos like this that raise the bar for the rest of us. It’s not good enough to just slap some live footage over your track when people are putting masterpieces like this together.
Mystery – Billy Fox
Full disclosure, Billy is a part-time-co-conspirator. So we may be biased but this track is really, really good and the clip is genius. Get some free out-of-copyright footage from a weird 1960’s sci-fi flick and reimagine the narrative to fit your song. Oh, and not to spoil the climax, but the accidental bump of the outer door to depressurize the spaceship is magic.
Get to know – Cosmo’s Midnight ft Winston Surfshirt
This clip is a treat on many levels. The song is catchy, the story makes you want to keep watching, the filter they throw over the whole thing is pleasing for some reason but the best bit is the dance sequence about halfway through. Moves!
The band will be wooing all with their new single on their current huge tour, which of course features a few festival slots too.
