Emma Hewitt “Colours”
From the decrepit fossils of a payphone to the flick of a burning cigarette, “Colours” contains a spectrum of imagery that perfectly reflects the epic existentialism of the latest single from Australian artist Emma Hewitt. Directed by Elliott Sellers, the music video is exceptional for the way it manages to emphasize the poetic nature of the most ordinary of days. Filmed in Los Angeles, Arizona, and everywhere in between, it’s a beautiful effigy of Americana and the people who make this world worthwhile.
The visceral landscape that Elliott captures allows us to connect to and meditate on each shot individually while also leaving us the agency to string the images together in our own ways. Every sun flare and portrait contains within it a connection to the core of the human experience that’s usually only found buried within a midnight drive or a much-needed glass of lemonade. In a world where we’re forced to constantly tune out the inundation of media and images, the ability to conjure up these feelings is not only unique but also much-needed.
“Colours” exists in two forms, both the original and the Armin van Buuren Remix. Take a look here at the remix and let yourself be consumed by the idiosyncracies that make every day an inestimable experience.
