London-based singer, songwriter and producer Gazel has released a striking video for her most recent single, ‘Rain Is Coming’. The stunning new single, ‘Rain Is Coming’, is the latest to be taken from her forthcoming debut album, ‘Gazel’s Book Of Souls’, which will be released, in October.
The video sees, an ever present, Gazel narrate the adventure of a young girl on a “voyage of surreal discovery, where fortunes are told and mesmerising dancing commands a sense of poignant mysticism to complement the swelling, emotive and electrifying musicality of ‘Rain Is Coming’.”
Speaking about her latest single, ‘Rain Is Coming’, Gazel said; “In the context of ‘Gazel’s Book of Souls’, ‘Rain is Coming’ relates to the area of the unconscious mind governed by the inner child. Learning of the harsh stipulations society places on its adults, the young girl at the centre of the video (played by Hannah Pickard) is led on a journey to explore how to remain free of mind and will in a world that is increasingly disconnected from its own psychic landscape.”
Meanwhile, Director Connor Foley – who directed the video alongside Alex Millchamp – said; “Shooting ‘Rain Is Coming’ was a unique experience and challenge. The Challenge being to come up with visuals strong enough to match the grandeur of the track. I hope we did the song justice!”
Gazel’s latest single, ‘Rain Is Coming’, is the fourth track to be taken from her upcoming album, ‘Gazel’s Book Of Souls’, which has been described as “enthralling”. ‘Rain Is Coming’ is the latest single, following the captivating releases of singles including ‘Mina’s Hymn’, ‘Pointing At The Moon’, and ‘You’re Not Funny’.
The album has been described as “following the esoteric story of Gazel, who seeks to find the cause of a mysterious fire which destroyed her village, and in the process encounters a variety of ‘souls’ who dwell in our collective unconscious, each of which is represented by a different track on the album.
“Influenced by Jungian archetypes, mystical philosophy and the folk music of her Middle-Eastern roots, the album is an eclectic and captivating blend of subtle electronica, folk and pop.”
