Singer, songwriter and producer Big Wild has unveiled the official video for his single '6's to 9's (feat. Rationale)', out 19th November.
The video for "6's to 9's" - choreographed by and starring Jainil Mehta (who has trained under the guidance of renowned Indian contemporary choreographer Shiamak Davar) alongside Olivia Gierenger - illustrates a blossoming romance set within the fresh, summery confines of a sun-soaked garden. The coquettish piece uses dance to convey the narrative arc of a full blown love story, wholeheartedly embracing the romantic cliché through movement, which Stell acknowledges, as he notes that it "really captures the dreamy energy of the song in a beautiful, yet fun way."
'6's to 9's' features the vocals of London-based artist, Rationale, who is signed to Dan Smith of Bastille's label, Best Laid Plans. The highly praised, fan-favorite single was first featured on Big Wild's debut album, Superdream, which received critical acclaim from NPR and Billboard, amassing over 40 million streams to date. The project challenged the boundaries of electronic music and transcended genres, with funk and disco undertones bolstered by alluring indietronica.
Away from music, Big Wild is a passionate environmentalist, recently working on a collaborative video with the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) that featured his track 'Pale Blue Dot'. With footage provided by filmmaker Roger Fishman, Big Wild delivers the film's voiceover, speaking to the urgency with which we need to address climate change and calling upon viewers to demand action from world leaders. In addition he is a supporter of 1% For the Planet, a movement to help fund environmental organizations worldwide.
Following a sold-out headline show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, Big Wild is currently in the midst of a headline tour comprised of over twenty dates across North America. The 'Superdream Tour' sees him bringing the album to life via a brand-new, full-band live show, replete with instrumentation and accompanying vocalists.
The official video for '6's to 9's' is the ideal visual representation of the vibrant track; ultimately, the protagonists' seamless dance ritual perfectly complements the track's feelgood vibe.
