CMU Approved
Approved: Miamigo
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 6 July 2016
A couple of years into a career that has been typified by a variety of strong, 80s-influenced singles and the good old homemade video, Miamigo take a step up with new single ‘Forever’ and their first music video proper.
“The idea is to represent the belief of nothing lasting forever”, say the duo. “The video centres around a young lady looking to buy something tangible that’ll last, with the couple on the shopping channel representing some surreal unrequited love. We’re very much inspired by 80s/90s slasher movies and we felt a dark ending was necessary to add a little twist to the vibrancy”.
The track itself is a sloping, bass-heavy number with a chorus that throbs out of the groundwork done by the verse. If this is the point at which Miamigo’s dark pop tales are brought to a wider audience, I’m all for it.
