Inspired by the 80s neon-drenched cinematic aesthetic and top car chases of the art-house movie Drive, with choreographies borrowed from emblematic movies like Flashdance and Footloose, the video perfectly captures the songs storming ’80s pop-rock influences. Taking on the romantic tale and heist narrative of the original movie, Brian and Keith show their acting skills, Brian plays the role of the lonesome getaway driver played by Ryan Gosling, while Keith – whose acting credits include Coronation Street and Boys Movie is perfect in the role of the villain playing the robber alongside a badass female character, speeding through the nocturnal dreamscape of London in Brians iconic car, a Blue Ford Mustang GT.
Talking about the video, Brian says; Its the first official music video for the first Boyzlife original song and we wanted to bring together the songs 80s influences, its energy and the movies we love. Keith adds; It was fun to play the villain in the music video, everyone knows I am also an actor but Brian is the one who will steal your hearts with his performance!
Influenced by the music the duo grew up listening to, The One – co-written by Brian and legendary songwriter Guy Chambers (Robin Williams, Kylie Minogue, Rufus Wainwright), with production by rising producer Jackson – who has honed his skills engineering and programming for the likes of Shawn Mendes and The Libertines – marks a shift into original material following the duo’s hugely successful debut album ‘Strings Attached, recorded with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
In between tour dates Boyzlife have been busy in the studio writing and creating new music, with the albums full details still under wrap, Brian gives a glimpse into their studio sessions; Keith and I grew up in the 80s and 90s, the sound of that era is what made us want to be musicians in the first place. When we first started talking about making this record as Boyzlifes first studio album, we naturally talked about those influences a lot and have loved bringing these familiar sounds into our studio sessions and onto this record.
