Derek Vincent Smith (aka Pretty Lights) has just released
a new classic sounding PL track titled “We Must Go On”, along with a
self-made music video that displays the artist’s innovative nature as he
continues to push the boundaries of the title Producer.
The track is a soulful hip-hop jam, laced with a vocal
hook that is uplifting, reflective, optimistic, and hauntingly beautiful all
at the same time.
The video expresses and channels emotions in a beautiful
collage of shots that capture little moments in people's lives, from the
joyous, to the innocent, to the desperate. It does so with an editing style
based on quickly cut shots, and extremely precise synchronicity with the
music, so much so that the audio and video become one. Derek collaborated with
Krystle Blackburn (PLM's Creative Director) to create this new style of music
video.
According to Smith, “…the creation of this track and video
is also an artistic explanation as to why I chose the name “Pretty Lights”
for my musical project. It embodies the essence of the artistic eye and
the idea that almost any moment, anywhere, can be a moment of inspiration and
beauty.”
