THESE THINGS TAKE TIMEfeaturing Kadio
ABOUT THE VISUAL EP
BEHIND THE STORY
The idea behind the creation of a this Visual EP was to tell the story of the artist, encompassing the emotions she expresses in her music. Not only understanding one emotion within a singular song, but taking it further and developing the emotional path she went on through her three connective songs, “New Haven”, new release “Beware of the Dog”, and “director’s cut”. These songs allow for the understanding of the process of healing and takes the listener through the different stages one feels within this process. So, our goal with this music video was to be able to comvey this visually, where Kadio has already done so musically.
DEEP DIVE INTO THE SONGS
The first song in the video, “New Haven”, focuses on the interpersonal conflict of the artist she was dealing with as she was losing herself trying to please another person. This song represents the first realization of this and the lonely feeling around it.
As she recognizes the changes she needs to make “Beware of the Dog” comes next and conveys the frustration the artist was feeling with the journey of processing this emotional event that she had went through.
“director’s cut” plays on a movie metaphor where the artist describes the nostalgic feeling an original movie has to a certain time in your life and when an remake of that movie comes out everyone is so excited to relive the that time they remember while watching the original, but is never the same. The artist compares this to how she was seeking out comfort in things that were familiar to her, but it just wasn’t the same. She was able to learn from this and eventually get to those final steps in her healing process.
