Ginny Luke & Taylor Graves – ‘Take You On A Trip’

Ginny Noel Luke is an accomplished electric violinist and singer who has performed and recorded with artists such as Britney Spears, Black Eyed Peas, Will.I.Am, the Foo Fighters, Snoop Dog, J.Cole, Miguel, Daniel Caesar, Amine, Dave Matthews Band, Iggy Azalea, Ruben Studdard, and Stevie Wonder (among others). Her latest single, ‘Take You On A Trip’, was co-written and produced with Taylor Graves, who also duets with her on the track.



Lyrically ‘Take You On A Trip’ sees Ginny express her desires in a sensual love affair. The accompanying clip shows steamy close-ups, with the allusion to something happening we’re not allowed to see. The clip is certainly attention-grabbing with this alone, and then they’ve also added kaleidoscopic lights and electrifying keytar and violin. Speaking about the video, Ginny Luke says,

“The music video for ‘Take You On a Trip’ is an expression of young love and conveys each lover’s experience as a ‘trip’ or a journey to transcendence. This song encapsulates a moment of time and a love experience in my life that I wanted to write about to preserve the memory forever. It shows a side of myself that is softer, which you can hear vocally, and visually feminine and blissful. The electric violin and keytar duet represents the two lovers in the story. This duet-outro is the climax, or nirvana of the piece. As far as visual style for ‘Take You On a Trip’ we wanted something that felt stylish and clean, like a club in the void. Having a slow escalation and visual crescendo later in the song was very important to expressing a release of built up tension throughout. During the ‘trip’ sequence, it was critical to transport the viewer to a place that felt somewhat familiar, but mostly new from a sensory standpoint, so it sort of conveys the idea that when in love, you just want to enjoy the ride.”
