Sylvaine - Fourth Long Player Announced & Detailed
Norwegian artist and multi-instrumentalist Sylvaine is pleased to announce the release her fourth studio album, titled Nova. Due out on March 4th 2022, it was produced and mixed by Benoît Roux at Drudenhaus Studio (Issé, France), and mastered by Karl Daniel Lidén at Karl Daniel Lidén Productions. At the same time, Sylvaine also present the album's first single, "Nowhere, Still Somewhere", accompanied by a hauntingly beautiful music video (directed by Linnea Syversen).
Sylvaine comments on the track and video: "Nowhere, Still Somewhere" was one of the last songs I wrote for Nova, and expresses the feeling of losing control, being unable to hold on to things or to move forward, despite how many efforts are made. Being a very personal song, on a very personal record, I knew the video for this song would be an intimate one, making the choice of director key. From the moment I meet Linnea Syversen, I knew she would be the perfect person to create such a special project with. Besides the help of Grayscale, who shot some amazing drone footage for us, and Hogan Mclaughlin, who lent us one of his wonderful garments, this video was created solely by Linnea and I, letting us go into this creative bubble together and spend hour upon hour shooting clips to underlie the emotional quality that 'Nowhere, Still Somewhere' holds. The video is fragile and strong all at once, abstract, yet touching and visually showcases the duality that is forever present in my music."
Video director Linnea Syversen adds: "To work with Kathrine Shepard/Sylvaine has been very inspiring and exciting. "Nowhere, Still Somewhere" is touching and strong at the same time and I instantly had images popping up into my mind while listening to the song for the first time. We had some real challenging shooting days, some of which were also really cold, but Kathrine was amazingly dedicated and resilient. After this collaboration, I’m left with a lot of good memories and feel so excited to show this one off to the world."
