CMU Approved
Approved: Ida Long
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 7 June 2016
Ida Long’s concurrent work as musician and an artist are both striking on their own, and elevate to another level when combined. To date she has released four singles from her latest album, ‘Rainbows & Tears’: ‘(I Get So) Dramatic’, ‘We Got’, ‘Baby Gone’ and most recently ‘Mannen På Taket’, her first single in her native Swedish.
The video for each track has its own distinct visual style to accompany the music, not least ‘Mannen På Taket’, which sets stark dancemoves and monochrome outfits against the rippling music, underpinned by cello drones and piano. The song’s delicate frame is hammered by hefty percussion on its chorus, along with a bassline that bubbles up through the gaps.
