Sophia Ray’s latest music video is a visual treat of colours, and features an ethereal Amber Mark seeking the respect she deserves from her lover.
Sophia describes the track as ‘an ode to a love that once was, which has now fallen into complacency’.
‘I wanted to switch between hyper-real stylised scenes in which Amber is the star, with more realistic domestic scenes showing small snippets of their love/loathe story.’
These ‘hyper-real’ scenes are inspired by classic Renaissance art and religious iconography, imagining Amber as an empowered goddess and romantic heroine. The fantastical costumes and make up act as a visual representation of how she wants her man to see her. In one shot, immersed in a surreal pink liquid surrounded by flowers, she looks like a 21st century version of John Everett Millais’ Ophelia.
The promo is shot beautifully, juxtaposing wide angles with close up portrait shots to highlight the dreamy imagery.
