CDM Premiere: Colouring - 'Everything Has Grown' live video.

Coup De Main is thrilled to be premiering the live music video for ‘Everything Has Grown’ - recorded at Los Angeles' The Village Studios -  the latest single from Colouring, a London-based quartet who we couldn’t be more excited about.

“I hope you’re better off,” Colouring’s lead vocalist Jack Kenworthy sings on the song, not with a spitefulness, but rather with a sense of peace and clarity - a genuine feeling felt in the song.

Alexandra Savior announces debut album 'Belladonna Of Sadness' + drops new song 'Mystery Girl'.

After many months of anticipation, Alexandra Savior has finally announced that her debut album, 'Belladonna Of Sadness' (formerly titled 'Strange Portrait') will be released worldwide next year on April 7th.

Savior has also dropped a fittingly eerie music video for new song, 'Mystery Girl' - a stunning visual accompaniment directed by New Zealander Sam Kristofski (who has also made videos for The Phoenix Foundation, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Tom Lark and Taste Nasa, to name a few).

Watch the 'Mystery Girl' music video below...

Listen: Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone’s 'La La Land' duet, 'City Of Stars'.

Ahead of the release of Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone’s upcoming film ‘La La Land’ (set for release on December 26th in NZ cinemas), a duet of theirs called ‘City Of Stars’ has been released.

I love that it was just recorded on set, and you can hear them laughing at one point during the song - so cute!

Listen to the song below (+ watch a TV spot for the film too, which is slightly jollier)…
