Pop Duo Our Fire Release Chilling New Video “Hard To Breathe”
Eclectic pop duo Our Fire has released a haunting new video for their lively EDM/Pop track, “Hard to Breathe.” The track showcases catchy pop hooks and an invigorating beat drop that brings an EDM element to the mix. The video, directed by Rozet Tandy, features Our Fire performing “Hard to Breathe” in the midst of warm-hued candles and glowing light bulbs hanging from the ceiling.
The video’s cozy scene takes a creepy twist when a woman enters, crazed and slamming her head into a picture frame. We see her walk on shattered glass, become drenched in water, and writhe in distress in a fluorescent bathroom stall in such a way that resembles a scene from a horror movie.
Our Fire is comprised of Jake Spooner and Nicole Babin, who began their music careers individually with separate projects in different styles and genres. They joined forces to write for other artists, but discovered a unique chemistry in the studio and decided to continue their musical pursuits together. Today, the group is based in Boca Raton, Florida, and focuses on styles of pop/Americana. They regularly work with multiple Grammy-winning and multi-platinum producers in Miami, Atlanta, and Nashville.
Before Our Fire, Jake was featured on Billboard, Revolt, ItsBizkit, and Thisis50.com for his work with Gucci Mane. He was also featured on several Spotify curated playlists for his song “Rivals.” Nicole had opened as a soloist for many acts in Atlanta at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater including Blondie and Better Than Ezra.
The two create a distinct sound with Nicole’s background as an elite multi-instrumentalist in Alternative and Country Music and Jake’s inherent urban pop melodies. The duo has been working on several songs with long-time friend and producer Z3N. Their debut song, “Savage ft. Our Fire,” was featured on Jake’s solo EP and is now out on all platforms. The track gained over 216,000 views on Youtube in just over a month and is currently Editor’s pick on BalconyTV’s worldwide Network. Additionally, it was featured on Filtr’s R&B movement on Apple Music, Instagram’s ‘New Artist Spotlight,’ and several large independent playlists.
Our Fire’s debut EP is expected to release in early fall along with a number of singles through Sony’s The Orchard.
