🎶 Song reveal 🎶 for next week’s 80’s music video! Do you know it?! Lmk in the comments if you do!👇🏼“Shadows of the Night” is a Pat Benatar song from 1982 (it’s been released by other artists too, but hers is the most iconic version IMO. It was SO fun to cover! ⠀ ⠀ #MerCrew member @andrewswells requested this one & suggested I sing it as my favorite mermaid! (Ergo this neon Ariel inspired cover art by @songstaforlife !) Andrew definitely inspired me, & as I began to try to visualize the music in a #LittleMermaid context, I had a crazy idea. Now just go with me for a second-the track has big harmony lines, so I imagined Vanessa & Ariel - two characters who (temporarily) share the same voice, singing this together as a duet. Ursula, disguised as Vanessa, lures Ariel into trading her voice for a trip to the surface. She does ofc, but instead of the Little Mermaid story playing out the way we know it, #Ariel arrives smack dab in the middle of the 1980s & gets rescued. Not by a prince, but by a group of Disney Princesses who make over her fashion sense & social life! It’s a bit wild, I admit, but if an 80’s tribute isn’t wild & left up to the viewer’s interpretation at least a little, then I don’t know that we doing our jobs right! Hopefully this video pays homage to the glamorous & strange fog-filled 80’s music vids of the past that we all love so much!👩🏻🎤💃🏻💋⠀ ⠀ I hope you guys enjoy our reimagined story, & this killer song! I even added a few little Ariel/Vanessa ad-libs in there as a surprise, so keep an ear out to see if you catch em! 🐠 (thanks to @amytreadwelltoy for helping inspire those new lyrics!) @kurthunter played for & created the track, & handled all the music production, & it’s soooo rad! He was the PERFECT music producer for this project! & @songstaforlife not only did the video, but also recorded my vocals & helped on vocal directing too! It was a group effort! 😉 ⠀ ⠀ I’m working on all the release prep today, & we’ll have lots more sneak peeks both on my page & from our cast & crew before the video goes live, so feel free to follow the #RadicalRollerDisney tag to see more as it goes up! https://www.instagram.com/p/B5_ec1_AkYM/?igshid=p7hurfabzcf6
