International recording artist Zoe Scott spent the beginning of her career in the entertainment world being on the stage and in films. So it is hardly surprising that when it came to launching her debut Bossa Nova record \u2018Shades Of Love\u2019 the visual element would become equally important as the music.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The first single from the record is entitled \u2018Quiet Nights\u2019 and was originally written by one of the pioneers of the Bossa Nova genre, Antonio Carlos Jobim. Scott wanted to pay respect on the track and enlisted the talents of Jobim\u2019s grandson Daniel Jobim who played lush acoustic piano on the song.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The music video was filmed between East West Studios in Los Angeles and Zoe Scott\u2019s stunning grand house in Malibu, California utilising both the indoor and outdoor spaces from an outdoor firepit, a tranquil beach with waves lapping against rocks and beautiful furnished rooms.<\/span><\/p>\n

The video was directed by James Chressanthis (ASC, GSC) who was also in charge of the cinematography and he opted to shoot it on a RED Ranger Camera By Alternative Digital Cinema Rhonda Cam Super 8MM & Bolex Double S8MM By Pro8MM. This equipment works perfectly as the video opens with a series of clips which have been shot and edited like a collection of personal home videos to create a personable vibe with the audience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Album producer Moogie Canazio helped Scott embrace the genre fully as her music background is Rock \u2018n\u2019 Roll and she wanted to put her own stamp on the material with her honeyed lead vocal whilst at the same time creating homage to Bossa Nova.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, the themes of love and passion are told through the medium of dance by Jose Valencia who is a dancer, choreographer and dance coach and Zuzana Lova who is a leading figure in the @SheIsPowerful organisation who teach dance to survivors of both sexual abuse and sex trafficking. Scott wanted to be able to showcase not only their individual talents but also the important work that they do within their communities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In conclusion, the music video for \u2018Quiet Nights\u2019 is both musically and visually stunning with the gifted Samba dancers performing in front of the magical Malibu backdrop to Scott\u2019s dulcet tones and crisp melodies. This is the perfect introduction to Zoe Scott and the \u2018Shades Of Love\u2019 album.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
