International Artist Jahna Sebastian Releases Electrifying Visuals for New Single 'Midnight Dancer'
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.
