Sunderland singer, songwriter Faye Fantarrow released her seven-song EP ‘AWOL’, via Dave Stewart’s Bay Street Records earlier this year. Fantarrow has shared the official music video for one of the tracks from that EP titled ‘The Weekend’. Filmed in Fantarrow’s hometown of Sunderland, the vivid music video for the contagious song was directed by Myles Docherty.
“‘The Weekend,’ for me, is a great example of mine and Dave’s working relationship and how we collaborate as artists,” shares Fantarrow.
“It was so lovely seeing the soundscape dynamic come together in the production of the song and to see all the hard work of everyone involved including the team behind the video. Needless to say, I am very proud of this track and video and honored to have worked with the great Mr. Stewart.
Dave Stewart adds:
“‘The Weekend’ is another unique lyric from Faye; just telling how it is for so many hard working people here in Britain. Her vocal delivery sounds so effortless and her melodies are infectious, as usual. We had an amazing time making the whole EP and The Weekend speaks about having a celebration in the face of adversity. It’s a very poignant song for so many, including Faye Fantarrow who is a true hero in my eyes.
A slick vocal over dynamic strings and the pounding of a drum dominated this hard hitting track. Something a little different for your speakers. Silky synths round the edges off but it’s the strikingly unflinching vocals and straight delivery that grab your attention. It’s a touch different to what you may have been listening to this week.
