lovemedo – Sounds of Oz

I am really digging “Fake Plant on Fire,” the latest single from Eora/Sydney artist lovemedo. It’s so creative and catchy, a true original. And how often can you say that these days?

“’Fake Plant on Fire’ is one of those songs that in the beginning finds you in one place and, by the end leaves you in another. I wanted to make a video that took people on that same journey,” lovemedo said. “I like to step into my music videos the same way an actor would into a movie role. This video is heavily influenced by ‘art house’ mentalities and performance art. Visual art is truly an extension of my music and a big part of my creativity so I’m proud to say that ‘Fake Plant on Fire’ is the first video to be completely written, directed & edited by lovemedo”.

I am so excited by this song. It’s one of those tracks that takes you on a real ride, the sort of one that makes you want to jump back on when it finishes to experience it all over again. That music video is just the cherry on top of a very delicious dessert. More please!

I’ve just heard lovemedo’s latest single “Dancing on the LINE!” and I can’t stop smiling. The Eora/Sydney artist calls the song a “sonic tantrum,” but listening is much more fun than hearing the histrionics of any petulant child.

“It embodies that nauseating feeling of falling yet feels uplifting too,” lovemedo admitted. “The imagery of ‘the line’ being reality and the idea of me dancing on it was amusing to me. At the time I was hurt, confused and embarrassed about a particular situation so this song became a way of shrugging my shoulders, throwing my hands in the air and asking some loaded rhetorical questions, not because I wanted the answers but to make fun of what they may be.”

This is just the start of the lovemedo story. This is the first lovemedo single released through Sony Music Australia, and the musical project made its live debut just a few weeks ago. But already it shows such promise. You can bet I’ll be listening out for more material.
