Bradley Arthur Maxwell Shares New Video For His Single "Alone"
/
Americana singer-songwriter Bradley Arthur Maxwell is kicking off 2020 with an incredibly poignant new video for his latest single “Alone."
The music video was shot entirely on a smartphone to amplify the theme of isolation that the hyper over use of our phones can often cause. Footage was captured across multiple cities, over a four month time period and is intended as an observational piece to reflect society and where most of our focus currently lies - in our devices rather than with the world and those around us. It is stylistically voyeuristic yet like a mirror, provides a look at ourselves. A reminder for us to look up a little more often.
“Alone” is a stunning entry point into Maxwell's world. It's a slow-motion meditation on loneliness – whether it's the loneliness of missing a lost loved one or the self-imposed isolation of our digital age. He's made a tune that evokes darkened urban rooms and windswept prairies – both in the same song. The acoustic arrangement, garnished with distant whistling, could have come from a Sergio Leone soundtrack.
"Alone" was recorded at Echo Lake Studios near Halifax, Nova Scotia, with multi-instrumentalist and award-winning producer Daniel Ledwell. This is the second single to be released from Bradley Arthur Maxwell from his sessions with Ledwell, with more to follow in the coming months.
