Independent Australian artist Ziggy Alberts reveals a new music video for his album focus track ‘chocolate’, out now on YouTube.
Filmed in a heritage-listed theatre, the videos warm production tones and one-take split-screen cinematography pair perfectly with Alberts’ swooning lyrics. A track of heartache and romance, ‘chocolate’ tells a story of how fame and fortune, which is often desired for a sense of happiness, can lead to us feeling lonelier than ever.
The music video comes as the second collaboration of Alberts and ARIA & ACS award-winning director Allan Hardy. Co-starring is Alberts’ partner, Portuguese actress Joana Duarte, whose appearance helps convey the songs emotional meaning from a dual perspective.
In March 2021, Ziggy Alberts celebrated the release of his fifth studio album ‘searching for freedom’, of which ‘chocolate’ finds its home alongside eleven other tracks. In the first week of release, the record landed #1 on the AIR Album Chart (Independent Labels) and #5 on the ARIA Top 20 Australian Albums chart. ‘searching for freedom’ has received praise from the likes of American Songwriter, Atwood Magazine and Rolling Stone France.
