‘Melody’ is the first track to come out in 2022 by the Italian alternative rock act Sunset Radio. It’s a direct and scratchy song, fast and heavy but at the same time it hides a nostalgic sound typical of the 90’s era that characterised the band since its beginning. ‘Melody’ is the first single taken from the new album, set to be released in 2022.
“It’s an anthem to make it through with your own strength, to look forward without forgetting the road we left behind, where we come from, our wounds, our scars…” says Riccardo, guitarist of the band, about the song, “It was the first song we wrote since the beginning of the pandemic, a very difficult period for all of us and I think that all of this is clearly reflected in the song. For the music video we decided to make something that conveyed a strong and clear message. An invitation to react to the injustices created by clichés and ignorance that surrounds us more and more every day. Without a message to convey any kind of music wouldn’t make much sense.”
The video clip was shot in an abandoned cinema in the province of Ravenna by Edoardo Giuliani (Kunai Studio) and Andrea Geminiani (drone / fpv) with the support of the band who directed the storyline step by step: “It’s been a real challenge shooting the whole video in just one day, but i can honestly say that we are really satisfied with the job we’ve done and we hope you all can enjoy it too! It seems absurd and unacceptable that in 2022 there is still such narrow mindedness to create categories, pigeonholes and catalog every human being in a specific gender, race, color or sexual tastes. It is stupid and it disgusts us. We sincerely thank Lorenzo and Beppe for the love and patience shown during the shooting.”
