The ‘Rush’ Raveena’s new song video and song follow a Punjabi space princess who makes friends on distant planets.
While ‘Rush’ Raveena’s new song is known for gauzy R and B drawn out with her airy voice. Her new track “Rush” is an upbeat, dance-driven feast of colors that combines multiple worlds. The Technicolor ode to Bollywood, which tells the account of a Punjabi princess traveling via space. She was inspire by Indian percussion or an acid trip Raveena experience while visiting an Eastern sound installation at the Rubin Museum.
The song, written a few years ago, captures Raveena’s exploration of “a more low marriage between Bollywood sounds or the pop/R&B music” she grew up listening to.
In the video, Raveena plays Asha, a Punjabi space princess who makes friends with brilliant beings from a distant planet. Which she co-directed with director and photographer Munachi Osegbu. They appear in the video like shimmery puddle-like figures who support Raveena’s playful choreography. The song gently transitions into a benign ballad at the end of their dance sequences, buoyed by the singer’s layered vocals.
Raveena followed up her debut album Lucid in 2019 with the four-song EP Moonstone. She released the sparkling single “Tweety” last year.
