Watch Blue Wilson's music video for 'Big Rock' here šŸŽ¬

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Blue Wilson is the solo project of songwriter and producer, Michael Stevenson. Last week, the talented musician shared with us their breathtaking music video for their new song ā€˜Big Rockā€™ and upon seeing it for the first time, we knew this project was gonna be special. Everything from Michaelā€™s writing style, to the instrumentation and soundscape throughout the track, to even the beautiful cinematography around the music video.

Thereā€™s something truly magical about this project and the genuine energy that radiates off of Michaelā€™s voice is enough to keep us attentive and aching for more... enjoy!

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

ā€œOnce Stephen, the director, and I landed on the idea of ice skating cowboys, we knew casting could be difficult. We heard whispers of a man named ā€˜wild johnā€™, a sort of enigmatic figure in the greater Los Angeles ice skating scene - and upon watching a YouTube video of his skating we knew he was our guy. Tonally, we wanted to match the nostalgic and romantic quality of the song and I think we achieved that really well within a fairly loose narrative structure. Stephen and I had discussed creating a video that was almost hyper-cinematic- Hype Williams style- to juxtapose the lo-fi quality of the song. I think too often ā€˜bedroom/indieā€ artists fall into the same mindset that their videos need to have a faux-vintage / VHS aesthetic and I wanted to steer clear from that.ā€œ
