Het Nederlands- New Zeelands Trio MY BABY blijft één van de meest interessante én strafste live-bands van het moment. Met hun unieke mix van rootsy hypnotische dansmuziek spelen ze doorlopend Europa plat. Hun sound is een symbiose van gospel, blues, oude folk met rauwe seventies funk, Afrikaanse woestijn blues, Marokkaanse gnawa, Indische raga en een dosis EDM. En dat allemaal uitsluitend gespeeld op gitaren en drums zonder gebruik van computers of samples.
De nieuwe single ' a dream i dream' luidt een transformatie in van de band’s groovende, tribale psypsychedelia – naar ‘sleek, futuristic maelstrom of Dreamwave Pop & 90’s Bristol Sound Beats.’ Voorgaande albums “Shamanaid” (2015) en “Prehistoric Rhythm”(2017) en bijhorende singles deden het ook erg goed in België. De band speelde honderden shows in heel Europa, Australië en Nieuw-Zeeland en bracht eind 2019 hun met een Edison bekroonde vierde album “Mounaiki – By the Bright of Night” uit.
Belgische concert data worden binnenkort aangekondigd.
The Dutch band My Baby is releasing their new video a dream i dream this week. The single appeared on all streaming platforms two weeks ago. The clip for the song was made by director/visual artist Menno Fokma, while visual artist and regular VJ of the band Frouke ten Velden took care of the editing.
Menno Fokma developed the choreography for the video together with singer Cato van Dijck, he also designed various 2D and 3D building blocks that can be seen in the clip. According to the director, he has developed a world in which there is a symbiosis between nature and the elements created by man. This is shown in the video through the use of motion graphic design and the use of light. It's a slightly altered reality. Cato explains: 'In the song I sing "No matter what I do, a dream I dream of you". For me that dream is the longing for an utopian, futuristic world. Menno's visual style fits in seamlessly with this .' The digital scenes are interspersed with a singing and dancing Cato, who in this way connects with a dream world.
Cato's styling is in line with this.For her outfits, for example, high-quality and special materials such as leather and glossy vinyl are used, giving a a more futuristic appearance, so a perfect match with the world she sings about in a dream i dream.
