Performer, multi-instrumentalist, Producer, singer/songwriter and DJ, Elderbrook creates music with “themes of identity and mental wellbeing.” The Grammy-nominated artist has revealed the single “Shallow Water” which will appear on his new studio album set for release later this year.
About “Shallow Water” Elderbrook, who is also known as Alexander Kotz says:
In ‘Shallow Water’ the cards are down, bottom reached and there is nowhere left to go. The individual has to be better, do better.
The song hinges on these bargaining chips, on the get out clauses we give ourselves when we want to change but know it will be hard. It grapples with questions of integrity and our desire to better ourselves against the knowledge that true and meaningful change is difficult and often messy. It’s the never ending self doubt given a voice.
The release is also accompanied by a choreography-driven video directed by Phúóng Vū with the creative direction of Charlie Rees (Rita Ora featuring Fat Boy Slim, Stephen Sanchez).
Phúóng Vū comments on the video:
In traditional Vietnamese folklore, the sky is represented by the shape of a circle, while the earth is a square. Developing upon this idea, we wanted the video to feature Vietnam’s most stunning and raw natural landscapes, in combination with holistic choreography to present the human element along with giant, abstract and surreal spheres and cubes that symbolize the earth and the sky.
“Shallow Water” follows Elderbrook’s 2024 return in April with “Glad I Found You,” his collaboration with dance producer George FitzGerald.
