The Time I Cried at a Florence + the Machine show: by K-Bust

Words and photo by K-Bust, musician.

 In my quest to discover new music online, I came across one of Florence + The Machine's live videos. I was hooked within the first second; she had a very strong voice and stage presence that blew my mind from the first note she sang. Where was I all this time? I felt I had missed so much, that it was time to catch up with all of her videos.

Every time I discover a new artist, I want to dive into their universe, what they stand for, what they’re passionate about, what they think about the music scene, etc... Always looking for that personality trait that would make me feel that we have something in common, something I can identify with.

The minute I found Florence + The Machine, I knew she was an artist I had to see play live. It all started with one song that captivated my ears and attention, as well as her energy on stage, jumping and running all over it. I still get chills when I watch her live videos; they take me back to that night I saw her performing for the very first time.

It was a hot day in Montreal, the day I finally made it to Osheaga, an important local music festival that happens every year during summer time. It all started early that day, walking from one stage to the next under the implacable sun, just to come across new bands or sing along with the songs that sounded familiar. It was a massive music event, with an enthusiastic crowd coming from different places, an event I didn’t want to miss this time around. I was there for the headliner; I was there to finally see Florence.

It was great to know she had some fans among my friends, so we were all excited to attend the festival together that day. We had done everything to make sure to be there, from securing our tickets the minute they were on sale, find the perfect festival outfit, to make up the perfect excuse to leave our workplaces earlier. It was a hot sunny day, but the nice weather in Montreal is not something we could take for granted, not even in summer.

The sun went down, the night was electric and the place was full of excited music fans like me. We were all impatient waiting for the big act of the night to hit the main stage. When suddenly the sky, that was previously clear, become cloudy and grey. A storm was coming our way to make an entrance; black clouds were hanging over our heads and some scattered raindrops started to fall, a night that was supposed to be unforgettable, was abruptly ending by the threat of a thunderstorm.

I could imagine the moment we all heard that the show would be canceled if the storm unleashes. I guess we were all crossing our fingers in an almost religious way to make it go away. I couldn’t go back home like that, after all the preparation we went through to be there. I just couldn’t believe my ears; that feeling of disappointment that ruins everything and sometimes makes you want to cry. I almost cried, at a Florence + The Machine show; when the lights went down and we heard the band starting to play, it was show time and she was there, on stage. I think miracles do happen; eventually, the black clouds went away.

Listen to K-Bust’s new single, “Shoot”, premiering at Nü Sound here.

Today we’re absolutely thrilled to be premiering the music video for “Over” by Montreal-based electro-pop/ urban artist K-Bust. With a background in classical piano, she also takes influence from the likes of David Bowie and Depeche Mode for a sound that can be compared to everyone from Tove Lo to Madonna to Christina Aguilera.

The video for “Over” sees K-Bust caught in a forest, trying to escape the grip of what’s holding her back. Directed by visual artist and musician Mariano Franco, the visual has a gothic and almost supernatural feel to it- yet it was shot entirely in Montreal (which it makes it all the more haunting). K-Bust’s struggles in the forest follow the story of the lyrics, which see her facing her fears of not being loved and fighting to break free, even when it hurts. It’s a compelling clip and you can watch it for yourself above.

Regarding the video, K-Bust tells us: 

“When making the music video for ‘Over,’ I knew I wanted to bring to life the same message from the lyrics, and create a metaphor about breaking free from someone’s grip. The story unfolds inside an enchanted forest, where anything can happen, and mythical creatures come to life; like a birdman, chasing me down to put me back into his prison. To cage me and keep me from being free.

Since I’m a big fan of Tim Burton’s work, we wanted to give the video a surreal touch inspired by his latest movie ‘Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.’”

"Over” comes to us as the first music video from K-Bust’s forthcoming album Fearless (produced by Juno-nominated producer Albert Chambers) which will be released on March 9, 2018. More singles and videos will be released in the coming months, so be sure to keep up with K-Bust on  Facebook, Twitter , Instagram, and her website.

K-Bust’s Fearless Globe Trotting

Coming from a small town and calling Southern California home for three decades, people like K-Bust make me all starry eyed. She’s lived in various prominent spots on the map, can speak a myriad of languages, and on top of all of that, she’s a self-taught musician with an electronic sound that pops. Listeners will be able to hear the culmination of her worldly views and electronic pop when her album drops early next year in March. Between then and now though, you can check out what she had to say about her many tongues, homes, hew new single “Over” and more. Read the rest here...
