“THE MIRAGE” VIDEO || WATCH
NASHVILLE, TN – Nashville singer/songwriter Heather Bond shares live performance video for “The Mirage” from her forthcoming album The Mess We Created available on all streaming platforms on 2/25/22.
The video features a mostly female band – with the exception of co-writer/producer Viktor Krauss (Lyle Lovett, Bill Frisell, James Taylor, Robert Plant, Alison Krauss) on bass – and is the first video from her visual release of The Mess We Created, out 3/25/22 and currently available for PRE-ORDER.
“What makes the video particularly unique is the way Bond allows each person their moment to shine, the camera capturing each performer’s gifts and the way they light up the room, whether [Melissa] Mattey is grooving to the melody on keys or [Elizabeth] Chan is transfixed on Bond, while [Devonne] Fowlkes and [Emoni] Wilkins fall into a rhythm with the singer as they sway to the beat in synchronicity… Getting lost in the moment and overtaken by the music was one of Bond’s goals for the video, and it also reflects the ’70s and ’80s influences of her upcoming album, The Mess We Created… - AudioFemme
The Mess We Created is a refreshing, well-crafted, and unique collection featuring first-rate musicians. The songs reveal a maturity gained from years of experience in the music industry. With Krauss as the primarily instrumentalist, along with L.A. drummer Matt Chamberlain (Lorde, Tori Amos) and Jano Rix of The Wood Brothers, the album is vibrant, idiosyncratic, and rooted in rhythm. Each song showcases Bond’s effortlessly agile vocal delivery, shifting from the smooth purity of Sade (in “Resist”) to the cheeky sweetness of Kylie Minogue (in “Ich Weiss Nicht”) to the delicate depth of Parisian singer Keren Ann (in “Fountain of Youth” and “Fate”). The album closes in an energetic punch with the spritely, beat-driven single “Feel It.”
The Mess We Created is set for release on February 25, 2022.
