If Scott Lavene‘s name isn’t familiar, you can click here for the complete rundown on this up and coming English singer-songwriter. If you’re not familiar with his music yet, you’re in a for a real treat. Lavene’s debut album, Broke was easily one of the best albums of 2019—in fact I wrote “Any ‘best albums of 2019’ lists that don’t have Scott Lavene’s ‘Broke’ near the top are bullshit,” as you can see I felt pretty strongly about it—and he’s already working on the follow-up. If you haven’t heard Scott’s music yet, lucky you. And if you have, lucky you, too, because today we’re premiering the animated video for a new song of his called “Lover.”
Scott writes:
“I had this song ‘Lover’ that didn’t make the album. A B-side. The final release from the last album before settling in to work on the next one. I wanted a video for it and since we are on lockdown i was just going to make a green screen and perhaps make something odd at home. Then a guy started following me on Instagram called Ryan D. Anderson.
His animations are amazing and his humour is brilliant and bizarre. I asked him if he had anything lying around that I could use for a video, something odd, didn’t have to be too polished. So, he’s a fan and said he’d be happy to make something specific for the song. A completely excellent human. A comedian and writer. A Canadian. Hopefully we’re going to collaborate again. Here’s his website.”
