Opening with the situational lyrics, “I fell in love with the wrong guy, now I’m sleeping on my own…”, fused with an immersive synth and textured riser, Sharl opens I Fell in Love with intrigue and dimensionality.
I Fell in Love is also the first song and lead single from Sharl‘s album, City Lights, which is out now! We have been covering the lead up to this moment by featuring a slew of singles from the rising Asian-Australian pop artist based in Melbourne, and needless to say, we are obsessed.
The opus takes us on a journey though the human condition, love and loneliness and also comes with an epic visual filmed in Canberra, directed by George Tsotsos. The music video features a cinematic interpretation of the song, centered around a visual theme of reflection and light prevailing through darkness.
We are in awe of Sharl’s emotive performance and acting chops. The mirror scene, where there are two protagonists engaging with each other is simply incredible, and the finale with the piano in the water explains why the visual has already won so many awards!
Although this is Sharl‘s first music video to present her artistic vision to the world, the video had already gained several awards on the film festival circuit including: Best Music Video: Paris Film Awards, Best Music Video: International Sound Future Awards, Best Music Video: World Premiere Film Awards, Best Asia and Pacific Music Video: International Sound Future Awards , Best Pop Music Video: International Sound Future Awards, Best Sound Design: International Sound Future Awards.
I Fell in Love is a moving piece of artistry, and we are excited for what is to come from the rising star. Speaking on her artistry, Sharl comments, “The music video for I Fell in Love is a beautiful visual exploration of the song which truly reflects my core as an artist. With the introspective and reflective nature of this album it was fitting to use a visual theme of reflection for the film as well. Themes of turbulence, distress, a cycle of healing and ultimately the rise of inner peace and self-love are explored in the video.”
We have added I Fell in Love to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we stream Sharl‘s album, City Lights, in full!
