Kingfishr 'Anyway' by Babysweet
Promonews - 6th June 2023
Greg Houston - aka Babysweet - brings a cinematic sensibility to bear on his stirring performance video for irish threepiece Kingfishr.
The video for Anyway builds from the band's journey on the back of a flatbed truck in a dramatic forest setting, locked in a brooding tension - to the climactic scene around a roaring bonfire, with the trio uniting in performance of the song.Â
"As a director I feel a real bond with Kingfishr as they contacted me directly about doing a live session just months after they first formed," says Babysweet. "I agreed to do it and was blown away. They were as naturally talented, authentic and green as they come. I knew good things would happen for them if they kept going and they truly have.
"It was by coincidence OB Management asked me to pitch on their new single and I was fully on board. Meeting their families and seeing where they literally live on the live session planted the idea for this video. It's based around the concept of leaving where you are most comfortable because you feel an urge to share something with a wider circle.
"There are always reasons not to do something. To stay where you are, stay in your lane. I tried to get the idea of the band leaving for the new frontiers that their music is destined but showing that it happens not without self doubt but when the lads all together they can and surely will conquer it."
