Watch Fazerdaze's Video For 'Winter'

Celebrating the release of her first new collection of tunes in five years Break! with headline dates at Tāmaki Makaurau's Hollywood Avondale and Pōneke's San Fran in late November, Fazerdaze aka Amelia Murray gifts fans a new video for emotive groover 'Winter'. Emitting a warm and cosy lo-fi hip hop crackle, and showcasing Murray's deft lyrical flow, the visuals for 'Winter' depict the Aotearoa artist's boogie-ing on a rainy day with an umbrella, finding fun amidst the post-earthquake cordoned-off zones of her adopted hometown of Ōtautahi. Directed by Joey Clough and made with support from NZ On Air, hit play on the clip and catch Fazerdaze with special guests carwash (US) and hanbee at the following dates...

"Winter is a song about hope and disappointment. It’s about striving to see the best in someone, and choosing to believe someone’s words over their actions. This song makes me think of what Maya Angelou said; “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time”. This is something I have had to learn the hard way repeatedly, and these lyrics show me going through that lesson.

My vision for this video was to have a girl in a bright coloured rain jacket on a grey winter’s day. I wanted the brightness of her jacket to symbolise the hope she is holding onto within a grey, murky situation. When I told Joey (the director) this vision, we were out the door in ten minutes to shoot this. We did zero planning, which worked well for me as I wasn’t able to overthink the performance." — Fazerdaze
