New York’s bustling streets and gleaming skyscrapers have long served as the canvas for many tales. This fall, they will witness a melding of nostalgia and contemporary artistry, as Latin Grammy Award-winning musician La Favi collaborates with acclaimed French music video director Laura Brunisholz for a compelling new visual narrative.
The single “Me Perdiste”, translating to “You Lost Me”, promises a blend of garage undertones laced with trance and enriched by La Favi’s hauntingly beautiful vocals. But what’s bound to make it a visual treat is Brunisholz’s unique touch. Capturing the nocturnal charm of Midtown East, Manhattan, Laura uses a DV camera reminiscent of the Y2K era. The grainy, vintage aesthetic breathes life into the concrete jungles, presenting a cityscape that “personifies New York ambiance.”
It’s not just about the technique for Brunisholz. The story behind the scenes adds depth to the project. The video was crafted after an evocative concert La Favi gave earlier in 2023. It wasn’t just about capturing moments but encapsulating the essence of that night, that energy, and that passion.
La Favi, renowned for her evocative songwriting, and melodies that draw from traditional rhythms and flamenco, needs no introduction. Her win as a songwriter for the Best Banda Album “Abeja Reina” by Chiquis at the 2022 Latin GRAMMYs further cements her position as a leading voice in progressive R&B and melodic reggaeton.
And while La Favi’s voice is set to echo through the streets of Manhattan in the video, the visual genius behind the camera can’t be overlooked. Laura Brunisholz, a Paris-born artist, has a remarkable journey. From studying psychology in her hometown to immersing herself in photography and video art in Brussels, Laura’s trajectory has been nothing short of inspiring.
Brunisholz, with her extensive ties to a global community of creatives, exudes a deep passion for music and the artists behind it. Her portfolio, which boasts intimate portraits of artists and a unique blend of high art and home video aesthetics, testifies to her prowess. She’s previously woven magic with musicians like Manuka Honey and Dasychira. Today, her reputation as a formidable music photographer in New York is undeniable. She has been featured in press outlets like Tank TV, AVYSS magazine and Not So Difficult magazine, among others.
With both La Favi and Laura Brunisholz at the helm, the music video promises to be a visual and auditory delight. Their combined talents and vision ensure that this project won’t just be a video; it will be a story, an experience, and a journey down the eclectic lanes of New York City.
