In the world of art, perfection is a myth as art, and the attainment of it only exists in quotes and dreams.

Despite this, artists strive daily to best their last works, pushing themselves to give more and more of themselves after every output.

April Maey introduces the Disney styled animation video for the song Starry Night. The song appears on her debut EP Ticket to Anywhere which was released in March.

According to her, “The video is about two young kids who try to save the moon by freezing time and putting the moon back where it belongs, in the sky”.

No wonder, we refer to a ‘fall’ when we describe the moment, we realize that we are in love. A vulnerable position overwhelmed with uncertainties. This makes love the bumpiest of life’s trips. We see the avatars of April and her lover sharing moments of playfulness and expressions of affection by the campfire. The purple backdrop, inspired by Jaden Smith’s ‘SYRE’ enhances a utopian feel, while … Read the rest
