Christmas has come early this year because we are being blessed with another single from LA’s Broken Baby. ‘Ugly’ marks the bands third release of the year and comes with a corresponding music video, which is our #videooftheday today!
First, let’s get everyone up to speed. Amber Bollinger and Alex Dezon have been friends for some time. In the past, she sang backup vocals for some of Alex’s music endeavors. In 2017 they decided to team up and now we all reap the benefits of their collaboration.
At its core the music composition for ‘Ugly’ is succinct. Low key samples, a crisp drum loop, single-note staccato guitars, and an occasional synth line provide the perfect backdrop for the vocals to pop. With the backdrop in place, Amber’s vocal melodies take us on a ride. Buckle up.
The music video for ‘Ugly’ is spectacular. I wonder how it came about. Who came up with the idea and where did they get those bunny ears? Capturing the moment when elation overfills us with joy is the magic of the production. Just like playing air guitar, dancing through the streets in absolute bliss is something joyous we can dream about. If there happens to be a pair of bunny ears around, even better.
