In truth, not much has caught my eye in the music video world this week. However, with that said, I’m also keen to support one specific independent artist. I am excited to share some incredible achievements of the talented Leroy Sanchez. He’s not just any independent music artist though – he’s an acclaimed singer-songwriter with an impressive track record. From co-writing for other artists to earning two platinum singles in Spain, and even securing two Guinness World Records in China for one of his tracks. Plus, his work as the musical director for the Spanish entry at the 2022 Eurovision, where the song “SloMo” took Spain to its highest placing in 27 years, coming in 3rd.
Leroy’s solo work has emerged from a brief hiatus with the electrifying release of “Nuclear,” a track that stands out from the typical heartbreak pop songs about love. “Nuclear” captures the exhilarating joy of being in a fulfilling, loving relationship, portraying the flirtatious and playful nature of the first stages of romance. The song beautifully expresses the happiness that shines through during this phase. As the relationship progresses towards intimacy, there’s a natural apprehension about whether the thrill of the initial stages will diminish.
Furthermore, The Kyle Hanagami-directed music video brilliantly captures the essence of the song’s narrative. It’s refreshing to see a departure from the typical club dancefloor setting, with the action unfolding in the aisle of a grocery store. The portrayal of a middle-aged couple adds depth and inclusivity to the storytelling, making it stand out from the norm. The endearing performances by Joshua Charles Parker & Lisa Jay, along with Leroy’s charming cameo as the grocery store cashier, truly bring the narrative to life.
The song is not only catchy but also bears a striking resemblance to Sia‘s music. Furthermore somewhat replicates the heavily used dance routine style used in Sia’s videos. Moreover, the “Nuclear” video exudes warm, fuzzy feelings and overall feel-good vibes. It serves as a reminder to always prioritize fun and joy, allowing our inner child to shine through. Kudos to Leroy for delivering this powerful message. Thank you for the uplifting reminder!
