\"\"<\/a><\/h4>\n

Swedish artist Sofia H\u00e4rdig releases a new creative video for single \u2018Illuminate<\/a>\"\"\u2019 from upcoming LP \u2018Changing The Order<\/a>\"\"\u2019.<\/h4>\n

The lead single with deep glowing synths, slow-build guitar rhythms and echoing vocals, is a fitting addition to the 80\u2019s-themed Drive soundtrack.<\/p>\n

Lyrically the song explores a loneliness and an endless search, while the accompanying music video \u2013 featuring textural loops of illuminated streets and vignette close-ups on Sofia, adds to the song\u2019s exploration of darkness.<\/p>\n

The end of the video- perfectly matching the crescendo of positivity that makes an appearance with instrumental part of the song – shows the shots become day lit.<\/p>\n

Having worked with major Swedish artists, as well with Yoshimi from Japanese noise-rockers\u00a0Boredoms<\/strong>\u00a0and the alternative indie band\u00a0Free Kitten. Sofia\u2019s experimental nature shines through with her new material that blends rock and electronic influences.<\/p>\n
