I borrowed some wardrobe pieces from my sister and my roommate and, assisted by my sister, did three days of shooting the three different versions of myself. Rather than focus on reality, I wanted to be colourful and creative with the concept. This is the first video I\u2019ve done lip-syncing a song, so it was definitely a challenge getting comfortable performing on camera. This video was also my first dive into learning about colour grading and correction, which is a skill that takes years to learn and master, so I\u2019m pretty happy with where I ended up with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2018Walk Me Home\u2019 is the sound of an artist completely comfortable with every facet of her being. VISSIA\u2019s production is dreamlike, with an ethereal yet powerful vocal floating over the top, with as much warmth and depth as her eyes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Utterly emotive and expertly produced, the piano-led \u2018Walk Me Home\u2019 is a song which plays on VISSIA\u2019s strongest suit &#8211; her powerhouse of a voice. It leads the song, a powerful ballad about asking for help when it\u2019s needed; and is an intriguing match to Vissia\u2019s stark appearance, and the strong figure of an alt-pop superstar she has already begun to create for herself.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_O36tq4kdN8?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new song by intriguing artist VISSIA has been given the at-home music video treatment thanks to some excellent video editing and the talents of the artist herself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":48,"featured_media":65777,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7,57,9,21453,21445,21446,21449,640],"tags":[1929,68,26287,77,370,23966,18471,2189,26286,19265],"class_list":["post-65765","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music","category-new-artists","category-new-releases","category-new-singles","category-reviews","category-single-reviews","category-video-reviews","category-videos","tag-alt-pop","tag-new-music","tag-new-pop","tag-new-release","tag-new-single","tag-ones-to-watch","tag-polly-havelock","tag-release","tag-vissia","tag-walk-me-home"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5yMhl-h6J","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":67207,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2021\/01\/emotional-depth-on-the-dancefloor-vissia-returns-with-on-my-mind\/","url_meta":{"origin":65765,"position":0},"title":"Emotional Depth On The Dancefloor: Vissia Returns With &#8216;On My Mind&#8217;","author":"Polly Havelock","date":"15\/01\/2021","format":false,"excerpt":"The latest artist to take to the disco sphere is Canadian alt-pop star, Vissia.
