Get ready to step into a weightful world of emotion on Sam Segurado’s latest music video ‘Phoenix’, which we exclusively premiere here at Music Crowns.
There’s a genre-blend of alternative-indie-folk on this acoustic offering that showcases the foundation of his love for music and unmatched talent for fusing captivating instruments with profound lyricism. The Irish-Portugese singer-songwriter interplays guitar and piano with his delicate vocal delivery atop a lush synthscape, its lyrics evoke the line that so often treads between romance and sorrow.
In addition, Sam Segurado shot a music video that was a follow-up to his film “Overspace” from the previous year. His current story focuses on the aftermath, whereas the previous one portrays the story of a relationship imploding. We follow the same figure as they explore the void left in their wake through bizarre and allegorical lenswork. She actually drags an apparition that materializes in front of her, her feelings ranging from compassion for it to resentment over its ongoing weight to ultimate acceptance and destruction. The music video, akin to the song itself, represents loss and the process of letting go and moving on.
Speaking about the music video, Sam Segurado says, “Just like the song, the video also came to me in a burst of inspiration. Once I had the idea for this video, I realised that Phoenix was the only song that it would work with. They’re both about the weight of our past, and the difficulty in the letting go. It’s another element of the concept of the album as a whole. The Remainder: what’s left of us, after we’ve gone through hell. And the power in that which remains.”
Sam Segurado is cementing himself into the music industry with passion and exceptional talent that embraces a multitude of themes within his songwriting. ‘Phoenix’ stands as a testament to his music abilities, and signature sound, with a brilliant music video to accompany the track.
