Clips that will impress your ears and your eyes…
Highly promising London based singer/songwriter FREDDIE DICKSON launched first single
FUEL from his upcoming debut album a few weeks ago. A magnificent, moody and tempo-changing ballad dealing with a time when he felt completely lost in the big music industry machine after signing to Columbia Records in 2014 and releasing his first EPs. His striking voice intensifies his confused emotions sincerely and reminds me of Ryan Adams‘ and Conor Oberst‘s heart and soul driven intensity. When pain turns into sonic beauty…
And now Dickson just shared a quite mysterious Twin Peaks like clip for the single. The video’s story is also a nod to the 2015 The Danish Girl movie, but shot in the style of
a dark film noir. Dickson plays two characters, himself and his alternative and troubled transgender persona. As he explains: “The aim of this video was to be quite honest and
self-reflective. It’s about the sub-conscious loss of who you are, about how people can change without realising. When I stepped away from the music industry for a while I realised how blind
I had been and how caught up I had become during the whole experience. The two characters
in the video portray the then and the now.” Experience the introspective tension here…
Freddie Dickson will launch his debut album Panic Town on 7 April via Shakey Records.
