Fancy gift-shaming everyone in your life this Christmas? You do? Well, here’s where you start taking notes…
Take a look at Zoe Scott. You’ll be glad you did, even if it’s just for the Bossa Nova gloriousness of her new album, Shades of Love, which is the musical equivalent of sinking into an oozy-boozy caipirinha on a sun-kissed day.
Then take a look at the video for its lead single ‘Quiet Nights’, an ode to all that’s good and proper about glory-days Bebel Gilberto. It’s all swaying palms, lapping oceans, dappled sun, floaty summer dresses, you catch our wistful drift. You’ll also notice the dancing couple, taking side-stage alongside Zoe’s mellifluous vocals. And this is where the fun stuff happens.
Zoe, hip to the plight of the entertainment industry during this troubled year, has created a global campaign of love to try and inject hope – and much needed funds – into this blighted creative space. It’s called ‘Dance The Wave Of Love’, and it’s just that, an ongoing gesture of love and camaraderie for professional dancers around the world, where you – yes you! – get to sponsor your very own video.
It’s a simple, yet genius idea where you choose a place that means something to you, dedicate it to someone who’s special to you, and Zoe and her team do the rest – find the professional dancers, full production, all that magic. You – or your loved one! – get your very own, bespoke, totally unique music video for life, and Zoe adds a snippet to the ever-growing ‘Wave’, her show reel of love.
Which is a total win-win-win this Christmas, right?
