The remarkable Lianne La Havas gives us a two-part love story with the dual release of compelling music videos for emotional ballads, “Elusive” and “Gone.”
Both songs appear on Lianne’s phenomenal debut album, Is Your Love Big Enough , and both videos are the work of director Colin Solal Cardo who says:
“Lianne’s a brilliant storyteller, there’s a true cinematic quality to her songs. When you listen to them, you go through all these emotions and narratives, like a collection of short movies. We felt like it was finally time to build a world around these songs, give life to these love stories and let Lianne actually become these characters.”
The visuals for “Elusive” are supported by beautiful choreography, and find the 22-year-old British soul songstress falling in love with a womanizing dance instructor. This isn’t going to end well…
Watch: Part 1 – “Elusive”
“Open my eyes and I’m next to you
He says my destiny
Lies in the hands that set me free”
“Gone,” on the other hand, tells a tale of love gone wrong — heartbreak, tears, alcohol, and buddy-boy gets poisoned, abandoned, seduced and then drowned by a scorned Ms. La Havas. Revenge is a motha…
Watch: Part 2 – “Gone”
“Yea I found you out
This is my last goodbye”
Debuting July 19th with critical acclaim, Is Your Love Big Enough peaked at #4 on the UK Albums chart and became iTunes’ Album of the Year for 2012.
