The key storyline and concept of my music video with Cece Alaniz @cecealaniz "Colour The Dark Days (Remix)" is the arrangement of flowers, leaves and other flora on “bark boats”. 🌼🌿🌸🌲 The slow yet continual arrangement of these found elements on the bark represents the healing process, with the arranging starting when Cece sings “I’ll leave that chapter a seal”, and then continuing as we both sing “colour those dark days in”. 📖🎨 At the end of the video, Cece launches her “bark boat” into the water of the lake, acting as the final overcoming of a dark time. 🌊🙏 For me, the use of stop motion of the arrangement building is like looking back over where I have come from and where I am now. 📸✨

@MizeroMusicNow This sounds incredible and extremely powerful and moving - from the meaningful and poetic lyrics to the vocal style and performance to the way both the message and singing complement the intensity and mood of my instrumental. 🙏💜🎤👩🎤🎶🎸🥁 You have made such a thought-provoking and moving track, reflecting on the concept of wealth and knowledge. We can be presented with resources, but we must choose to use them. 💸🏆👑 I love the imagery of nature, with trees swaying and birds and bees knowing the way. 🌲🌳🌴💚🐦🪽💛🐝💛 Nature knows best indeed - if we all stopped and took a step back to listen to the wisdom of nature, I'm sure the world would be a more peaceful and loving place. 🌱✨🌊🌱 I also resonated with the repetition of phrases like "we can make it a new day", which for me, reinforces a message of hope and transformation. The way you sing this phrase hits deep in my soul. We can make the world a better place; we are who we choose to be; become the change you want to see in the world... ☀🌅🌞🌄🌤
I cannot stop listening! It is addictive, catchy and enlightening. The three minutes of this song go so quick, because I get instantly lost and immersed in it! 🥰🥰🥰 A mesmerising and authentic glowing piece of creativity! So punchy and dynamic. Jenny, Mizero, I love how raw and real your music is. Every release you make is truly exciting and new and different. Your originality and one-of-a-kind style is inspiring. 🌻🌈🌼😊
It's awesome you've made a music video for the piece too, and it was so exciting to experience both together. The video totally reflects the music and vice versa. The careful choice of imagery is captivating and tells the story and message perfectly. A superb edit, and production all round. 🎥📀🎥📀🎵👏👏👏
I truly love how you have interpreted my beat with Shima's vocals. It means the world that my music moved you to make this. 🔥🔥🔥🌍🌎🌏 Thank you very much for your support. I am so grateful for this collaboration. 💙💙💙
You're a star... 🌠🌠🌠 LEGEN - wait for it - DARY!!! 🎉🥳🎊🙌 Much love and respect. I hope you have a beautiful rest of your week. ❤🌹🩷🌸🧡🍊💛⭐💚🌿💙🦋🩵🐬💜🪻

Yoooo Stay, this is an awesome beat with my Bike Pack sounds! 🎶🥁🎵🔊🎙🎶🎛🎵🎤 A really creative and groovy production, with so much flavour and texture! ✨✨✨ I love the rhythm a lot; the thumping kicks paired with the wavy and plucky melodies is a great contrast. The use of reverb on some of the percussions is awesome. And the switch ups were next level! A totally thrilling and dynamic arrangement! It sounds super powerful; absolutely on FIRE! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Especially when it got more screechy and wild! I love how the emotion changed from more subtle and calm at the start, progressively getting more discordant and edgy! This is excellent fam! Thank you so much for using my sounds to make this awesome banger. I am so grateful that you got inspired by them. Big ups brother! Much love and respect. 🚲🚴🚵🧡🩵 @Prod.By.Stay_Beatz

As a few of you may know, I have been campaigning to save Whitewebbs Park (Enfield, North London) as part of the Guardians of Whitewebbs group for some time now. It has been a place where I have found peace, even during my lowest times, and a place that has really opened my eyes to nature. 🙏🌳
In this video ( youtube.com/shorts/loHGNrwKwmw ), I share my story titled "Colour The Dark Days" for the 19th instalment of Guardians of Whitewebbs' "Whitewebbs Park: What Does It Mean To You?" series. This series is something I run for the campaign, so I thought it was about time I shared my own story too! 🌱🌈
The video features my latest release - the song and music video "Colour The Dark Days (Remix)" in collaboration with Cece Alaniz @cecealaniz . My parts of the music video are filmed in Whitewebbs. Watch the full video on our YouTube channels: https://youtu.be/2fdRydVMQcc 🎶🎥
If you would like to learn more about the campaign, a good place to start is by watching the short video I made "Whitewebbs Park - What Tottenham Hotspur and Enfield Council Don’t Want You to Know" ( https://youtu.be/0Y3J56JpU98 ). Spurs plans to build a private women's training facility adjacent to its 17-pitch men's training facility. Be sure to follow us on Instagram if you're interested @guardians.whitewebbs . 💚⚽️
The latest news in the campaign is that we've been granted permission to proceed with our judicial review, challenging the Council's decision to grant planning permission to Spurs. ⚖️🎉
I want to say thank you so much for your support, both for my music and for the campaign. Much love. 🥰💜

I'm so excited for the release!!! @MizeroMusicNow Again, I truly love how you have interpreted my beat with Shima's vocals! It means the world that my music moved you to make this.

We can make the world a better place; we are who we choose to be; become the change you want to see in the world... This teaser clip of the video reflects the track beautifully too, as does the cover art for the song. I can't wait to watch the full video on February 18th, let's go! Thank you ever so much for this project. Much love, my friend. You're a star! 😍☀🌅💛🧡
