Asking for a friend – where can we get those majestic wings on Shaan Singh in Drax Project’s new music video? “Atmosphere” was originally written in 2019 in Los Angeles, but the lyrics has taken on a whole new meaning over time, especially after everything we experienced during the pandemic.
If you’re looking to be uplifted, “Atmosphere” is everything and more. The song not only highlights the band’s amazing hooks and soaring melodies, but also inspires the listener to get back up after life knocks you down. This is certainly something we can all relate to.
“We obviously had no idea what the world had in store for everyone when we wrote this song. After 3 years of a lot of peoples’ dreams being somewhat grounded, it feels like an optimistic world is coming back. It finally feels like the right time to release this song,” the New Zealand quartet was quoted as saying. Aside from the inspiring tune, fans have also been raving about how cool those wings on Shaan look – and we couldn’t agree more!
On working with Australian director Josh Harris (Sia, Troye Sivan, Charli XCX) for the visual, the band shared, “We had a great time making this video with Josh, Giulia and the team! Faltering flying Shaan was a really fun concept to execute, while also speaking to the theme of the song and the collective experience of the last few years.”
Watch Shaan in all his flying glory here:
Fun fact: “Atmosphere” was co-written with Ferras (Katy Perry, Dua Lipa) was co-produced by Cory Enemy (Elle Goulding, Carly Rae Jepsen), and mixed by Grammy-winning engineer Tom Norris (Lady Gaga, The Weeknd). If this production firepower is any indication of things to come, you can bet that Drax Project’s sophomore album is gonna be dope when it debuts later this year.
