Tell us more about the studio and why it felt important to depict in the video? So the video is a team effort between me, Carsten Goertz, Kevin Bray, Mark Prendergast, and Phillip Schuette. I’d been speaking to Black Mountain Workshop in Amsterdam for a while and thought they’d be perfect. I didn’t want to make something that felt like a music video in any traditional sense, so I found brilliant, interesting people to work with. Sometimes you might be asked to make a music video, even though it’s not something you’ve ever done before, as was the case here.Įverything Is Recorded is a project borne out of collective creativity so I wanted to mirror that with the video. You have to have a very open mind at XL and expecting the unexpected is kind of a default setting. I’ve been lucky enough to work with Richard at XL for six years and it’s incredible fun. We spoke to its creator, Scott Wright, about how it mirrors the collaborative creation of the song itself, and what it depicts.
His solo project Everything Is Recorded released its first track Close But Not Quite back in May, featuring a “duet” between Sampha and Curtis Mayfield, and today the video is released. As owner of record label XL Recordings and producer of albums for Gil Scott-Heron, Bobby Womack, Ibeyi and Damon Albarn, Richard Russell is a force of nature, and highly respected across the music industry.
