Don’t worry if you’re getting FOMO from watching the newest video from Kwassa – he’s experiencing it too. 

London-based kwassa, aka Scott Verrill, shares his journey of navigating through crowds and parties in his newest video for Sad Songs. If you wish you could be a part of the confetti-filled celebrations happening in the visuals, then you’re not alone in your wishing as Scott tries to navigate through his own feelings of solitariness. Backed by exuberant beats that will entice you to dance, there’s a bit of dramatic irony going on between the track title and the subsequent track and visuals.

Explaining the video, Scott says:

The words ‘sad songs’ obviously have a level of irony from the fact they’re so upbeat and playful, but lyrically it’s about feeling a bit lost. I wanted to get that across in the video by using the crowd / confetti / bright colours, and cutting between a scene where I’m alone in a bedroom, to me being swamped in a crowd of people. I worked with Max the director on my last music video which was just one dancer and I, and on this one we were really keen to incorporate a crowd – it also only felt right to match the unity of the chorus with a bunch of young people.
