Islands Share ‘Headlines’ Music Video
Canadian band Islands share the official music video for their brand new single Headlines, an infectious blend of pop and rock elements.
Out now on ELF, Headlines is an intoxicating piece of music that pairs smooth, confident vocals with soaring electric guitar riffs, steady drum patterns, infectious rhythms, theatrical piano keys and a catchy hook that together create an overall upbeat, feel-good atmosphere perfect for a fun weekend!
The video, directed by Vali Chandrasekaran, who is mostly a TV comedy writer (30 Rock, Modern Family), tells the story about an artist trying to steel himself to go on another tour, to transform himself from the flesh and blood man, with the weight of real life on him, into the rockstar, an idealized version of himself, ready to give everything for his music and the audience. The transformation always takes a lot out of the artist, but the other side is, ironically, where he feels the best.
