SKOTT GLITTER & GLOSS (VIDEO)

The unique talent Skott completes her fifth track release ‘Glitter & Gloss’ with a truly strikng video directed by Zhang + Knight. Filmed in the frost-bitten Ukraine wilderness, shots of the dramatic landscape are timed perfectly with the heart-stopping synth bursts akin to that of Scandinavian alt-pop legend MØ. What breaks the intense nature of this video is a gang of young explorers on snowmobiles, perhaps representing the increased use of modern production techniques in Skott’s music, which the Swedish songwriter describes as “always trying to think what’s best for the song." She goes further, “If the song needs a really heavy beat, even if it doesn’t work for your image or whatever you just need to do what’s best for the song.” Skott doesn’t shy away from the changes, here she embraces her new environment, teasing us with a twist at the end, a hint that this artist has more surprises to come. - HT
