Interview: Los Angeles Artist Tora Woloshin Talks About Her Music Video For "Eclipse"
Congratulations on the release of your new music video "Eclipse"; regarding the song itself, what inspired you to write and produce it?
The first time I ever saw an eclipse, it gave me a feeling that someone only gets on a very rare occasion. Something to compare the feeling of love to. But not just any love. The type of love that makes you overcome all of your fears about love.
The song “Eclipse” is a song about being in the moment and not worrying about the past or future. The only thing to think about the past for, is learning from it. The only reason to think about the future is to build towards it.
This song tells a story about love and fear. Scared of the future because of what happened in the past; then really being able to let go of all that when you meet the right person to let go with.
We're totally amazed by the Adjacent Studios and Roadtrip Sideways Eight directed visual for "Eclipse"; how did you and the directors come up with its treatment?
The treatment I came up with was severely interpretive of the exact feelings this song depicts. So...it had much needed CGI and other unattainable elements. We settled on a simple expression and snippets of the live piano performance.
Tell us about your journey as an artist and what you consider to be your biggest accomplishment thus far in your career.
My journey is very complicated and I have overcome many impossible obstacles. The biggest accomplishment has been getting to know the ins and outs of the business, touring the world with my music and being mentored by Simon Cowell.
What are some things/people/places that inspire your creativity when you are developing new music?
Being outdoors inspires me a lot. Camping and being around animals. Cooking and travelling inspire me a lot as well.
Describe the experience of headlining your own tour in China; what did you enjoy most about your time over there?
When I toured China, it was one of the most magical experiences of my life. I learned so much about the culture and the language; and the way they treated me out there was better than I have ever been treated anywhere in America.
With "Eclipse" now released, what are some of your goals musically in 2021?
Well, I just released an EP with “Eclipse” and my new song “America” on it. The music video for “America” is releasing on Valentine's Day and I will be dropping some short films, more music videos and lot's of singles.
