With an album that transcended the ordinary dance music album, Steve Angello‘s ‘Wild Album‘ can safely be assumed as one of the finest albums of 2016. Having releases some stunning music videos for singles ‘Wasted Love’, ‘Children of The Wild’, ‘Remember’, ‘Ocean‘, and ‘Tiger‘, the Swede has now released the sixth video from the album, this time for the single ‘Prisoner‘.
A cinematic effort yet again, the video follows the narrative of two brothers, who are folkrace drivers preparing for an upcoming race. Talking about the video, Steve Angello says:
With the song “Prisoner” I really wanted to tell a story. So when it came to the music video, it felt right to create a visual that was strong in storytelling.
I also wanted to touch on the dark and almost maniacal side of Swedish culture. We picked the motorsport called “Folkracing” to visualize this and to tell a story around something that is fairly unknown to most people.
Our creative partner, Made by Forest, sent me a treatment built around a story of two brothers heavily involved and almost obsessed with the sport. It felt like a natural fit for the song, the perception of being a prisoner to your own feelings.
The brothers’ passion and love for the sport is as big as my love for music, and I am very proud of the end result of this project.
