X2 launches two new Videos…Teams up with Heat Wave
Guyana’s premiere singing duo, x2, recently released two new music videos titled ‘Lets Rock’ and ‘They Don’t know’ from the Kross Kolor Studios produced album ‘Krossroads.’
Let’s Rock is a disco-driven Caribbean-flavoured song with dub overtones done on a track arranged by Spida and produced by Burchmore Simon.
The video is set in a car park and features the X-Factor dancers dishing the party vibes through choreographed dance moves. Video producer ‘Black Magenta’ adds effective lighting and video effects to bring the video into the era of modern disco in a distinctive and unique setting.
This video also features Guyana’s youthful Biker Boys who seized the opportunity to display their cycling skills.
Musical collaboration: X2 and the Heat Wave band
The ‘They don’t know’ video is done in a theatrical setting that utilises the Theatre Guild and its lighting, stage and ambience add life and texture to the song.
In this video X2 teams up with the Heat Wave band to tell a story of rising from abject poverty to a place of comfort.
The video is simple and the setting is that of a band rehearsal at the Theatre Guild. Here again video producer ‘Black Magenta’ weaves magic with lights camera and effects to enhance the video, while not obscuring the message in the song.
Who is Black Magenta?
The new production team at Kross Kolor Records is dedicated to producing high end videos for all artistes on the KKR label. The aim is to take music videos into a new realm, and to move away from the norm that classifies music video production in Guyana.
Black Magenta is adapted from the name given to one of the most valuable postage stamps in the world.
