Jahna Sebastian : ‘For generations to come, that you were actually creating something that meant a part of the description of the era of the time, so that people could look into that, like, ‘Yeah, I know about that, that’s a stamp of those times, that place, thank you for sharing it’. But if it’s just random stuff, then nobody can relate to it.
GV : Year, kids are not gonna care if you get a hundred likes
Jahna Sebastian : Yes, we’re here to create longevity, to create stories and take you on a journey, and as I said, it’s just like in my album: we are putting legends on the map. It’s not just thinking that not caring is the way, it’s about opening your eyes and realizing that the everyday people can put legends on the map, they are the legends they can be, that if you really put your mind to it and it exercise your potential, that’s what it’s about.
GV: As soon as you say that, I’m thinking it’s not been just about re-inspiring the artists nowadays, it’s re-inspiring the listeners too. I think, may be the listeners lost their inspiration or lost their sense of feeling like they put that artist up there. It’s more like, they’ve been given artists to choose from. We have to re-inspire the listeners, so we can re-inspire the artists.
Jahna Sebastian: Yes, we have to totally create that change because now it the time, we are at crossroads of history, actually right now with all this technology.

Alchemist TV Live launch 27 February 2018 Jahna Sebastian talking about perspectives of Alchemist TV Singer/songwriter/producer/musician/artist Jahna Sebastian
Multi-talented recording artist, visionary and music producer Jahna Sebastian releases the visuals for her new single 'Midnight Dancer'. Midnight Dancer is off her critically acclaimed album, The Alchemist. The album is now available on iTunes, Tidal and all digital stores. The project was a one woman project, everything created was done by Ms. Sebastian. The album features beats that you can dance to in the club and at festivals while listening to a powerful message at the same time.
The video for 'Midnight Dancer' was filmed, directed and edited by Alex Riley. 'Midnight Dancer' was written, recorded, produced, arranged and mixed by Ms. Sebastian at her studio Multivizion Music. The video treatment and concept was written by Ms. Sebastian. The electrifying music video is set in post apocalyptic 2045, the timeline that many western futurologists like to set as the date for complete technological singularity, which is literally the black hole of progress for humanity, beyond which humanity can lose control over the course of history as the AI can become more powerful than humans. Ms. Sebastian stated, "I am showing that there is another way. In fact in the video, I am one of the free people, while the guy represents a person, who's stuck in the room, dying, his body is weak, his mind is cluttered, he can barely breathe, the contrast shows the difference being true understanding of yourself as a human and putting trust into the system of machines. We as humanity are at crossroads of history and right now it is more important than ever to understand, that humans should focus on self-development, rather than running a race in developing an artificial intelligence that will have no personal need for humanity at all. To be the change you want to see in the world and society, you have to look within. I strongly believe that humans can change within and we can achieve a better worldwide society if the focus is on developing human mind and understanding the power of it, let's set the priorities straight. "
When asked what was the concept of the video, Ms. Sebastian states, "The video is focusing on bringing forth the idea of immortality of the soul vs a promise to attain illusionary immortality by uploading a copy of human consciousness to global AI server. It raises the question of what is true immortality vs illusionary promised immortality under delusions of trust into the power of machines and shows the danger of putting all faith into the man made super powerful AI, while not even understanding the consequences. Developing machines, rather than human mind, creating false virtual reality instead of understanding the purpose of humans being on Earth. It's a dead end for any human which is symbolized by the skull in the box in the video, while at the end the sight of heaven shows the alternative as transcending into eternal life, going on a higher level, not being 'stuck in the box', showing there is another way and also symbolizes possibility of a human soul to go to the source of light, the next step. However, if quiet literally stuck in a box in the material world with a version of the self completely uploaded to a machine, it loses the connection and possibility to continue, while becoming a sacrifice surrendering to be controlled by global computer system. Many people are ready to do this voluntarily, but before going to the point of no return, why not raise the question first to understand it? The answers are right there, if you look deep within. To be continued ... "
The video's strength lies in the cinematography, concept, and wardrobe. The video captures the essence and vibe of 'Midnight Dancer' perfectly. Ms. Sebastian did an amazing job with the treatment and the song truly comes alive. Ms. Sebastian's styling gave a futuristic look with the metal jewelry by Biblos Glasgow.
The catchy lyrics is sure to become an anthem, Ms.Sebastian's powerful chorus made the song a hit. She sang:
You can come with me if you want to, if you feel it, more than words do.
I will keep on dancing till the morning, till the edge of the world where,
everything is made up, everything is perfect,
everything is candy, but the truth keeps hurting
Get ready to become enamored with Jahna Sebastian's new video "Midnight Dancer' because it will be on repeat on your phone's, tablet's and laptop's.

There is so much focus in the world on material things and possessions that sometimes it it gets hard for people to notice real love when it's right in front of them. In a place where love of things replaces love of humans there needs to be an extra effort to make a wish and get through to break the ice in the heart. It's about love on both sides but one of them just hesitates to open up and the song is about the deep wish of the heart that lifts the restrictions and shows light. It's a song about hope and fulfillment because that's what is real and true.The song is about the importance of it in human experience, whether it's for another person of self love. Some people can find themselves even closed off from loving themselves. Real love will always find a way. "
